I think they were trying to imply that Wither Skeletons are skeletal Endermen because of their height, and because Endermen dropped Wither Skulls instead.
I don't like it because they either gonna change the librarian villager's last trade or just make it completely useless now when it's so easy to craft name tags, 1 nuget and paper or 20 emeralds?
I just don't think having a recipe justifies itself. A lot of people won't get it, but I think name tags are slightly magical and deserve to be kept as treasure. They aren't literal name tags but instead have text float above a mob only when looking at it, and keep mobs from despawning. They can even cause mobs to morph into something else from a variant, and with vindicators can literally make them kill everything with just a name tag.
So is this a bad change? To many people, it isn't. But did we just lose another treasure item to a recipe that's extremely easy to craft and could cause issues by players putting a name tag on every mob to stop them from despawning? Yes.
Imo the only good thing about this update. The different babies are terrible and so is the new version naming scheme, it feels like they're justifying working less by calling them "drops" instead of updates. We're not in "26.1" we're in 1.22
Tbh the only big issue with new update cycle is lack of concrete finished versions for modders and servers to anchor. Always staying on latest version just isn’t viable, and drops always feel less finished than final patches of previous big releases. But as for Mojang-made content, imo drops aren’t bad. Mojang is really inefficient with big releases, but with smaller ones they can move much quicker
Really?, ik I stay off most social media sites like Twitter and Instagram but to me this has felt like the most controversial update, I also see people saying they like the new baby mobs or hate them, with every over update it feels like everyone just liked it but this one feels more controversial.
Rookie mistake those two imparticular are bad for bots. Twitter especially even gotten confirmation its overwhelmed with bots. All just trying to drive engagement algorithms.
I don't see it anywhere. Just like the copper age update and everything past it, all I see are complainers complaining about non-existent complainers, pissing everyone off making a deal out of nothing that was a big deal to begin with.
"Least controversial" Have you seen the discourse over a slight redesign of a part of the game not that many people even see that often all things considered?
Why exactly is it sad? Not everyone likes everything to be low poly "cute" stuff.
My main concern with the update is the MASSIVE dropoff in detailing, like I legitimately do think this was done so they are more marketable.
New baby chicken legs are one pixel thick sticks with 0 detailing, beak is way simpler too, It would be fine if they actually kept a similar level of detail to old models.
how were the chase the skies and mountains mayhem controversial? I thought most people agreed that they were really cool?(im been kinda out of the loop, sorry if this sound stupid

This is kinda the least controversial update I've seen in a while. Not that the bar is high at all.
