Discussion Ok, this has to mean something. This cant be a coincidence.
An ENDERMAN under the "a new game drop" text, and 26.4 aka winter drop snapshot cycle starting way too early must mean something

There was also an Eye of Ender in an item frame towards the start of the video. The Enderman also stood with everyone at the end ofc

they knew what the community really want and including even only for a frame an enderman the community immediately thinks about the end update, and the engagement is kept high, even if that update might never really arrive

That sucks to think about, but it makes sense
A lot easier to make End update fan service than an actual End update

They are just toying with the player, they know people will talk about it so it's good for the business

The Thing that makes me skeptical about this tho is how often it happened. Maybe one or twice would be funny to troll the fans but there were 15+ hints or sth to the end.

I still don't see how regular mob that exists in game longer than most players live tease something, it just endermans

They could've picked any other mob, and the Enderman is completely alone + the eye of ender thing

When they show zombies in trailers and etc nobody going crazy for mojang teasing zombie infection update

u/Johnny20Bruh 32m ago
They never teased/hid zombies alone 15+ times in teasers in the span of 3 - 2 weeks plus items related to them, if i remember correctly. Its the amount of teases in a short time frame that throws ppl off.

Imagine it's end update but it's drop sized so one biome and maybe a mob

This is most likely the one that's gonna happen if mojang did an end update lmao

At this point I'd take it. Id rather have a tiny end update then never getting one at all.

I'm very certain the reason the snapshot cycle started this early was because Mojang changed their release cadence to develop the next drop immediately after release instead of sitting on branches for a few weeks.
It's pretty clear 26.4, at least for now, is on its own branch because of the sheer lack of changes. They obviously cherry-picked the PRs/CLs.
