Making mods for Minecraft and Terraria
Minecraft modding without just ripping code out of opensource projects is a fun journey [/s].
Making a recipe that consumes durability? 10 minutes, light work.
Trying to go through the crap that vanilla uses for smelting for a re-imp? 8 hours, zero progress made towards the end goal

Here's a comparison of the content added in a few updates compared to a hypothetical 1.22 made up of the four drops from 2025.
My counting might be different than that of others, but it's consistent.

![Format of alt text is version number, followed by numericals stats per version of: blocks, items, mobs/entities, structures, biomes, enchants, graphical changes, quality of life, effects, music, other game mechanics, and total changes in that version.
Start image description:
1.8: 35, 13, 5, 1, 0, 1, 1, 4, 0, 0, 2, 62.
1.16: 55, 20, 6, 3, 4, 1, 0, 1, 0, 6, 0, 96.
1.17+1.18: 97, 14, 3, 0, 8, 0, 1, 1, 0, 8, 2, 134/67 each.
1.19: 34, 21, 6, 1, 2, 1, 1, 0, 1, 4, 0, 71.
1.20: 42, 45, 4, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 4, 2, 99.
1.21: 23, 27, 2, 1, 0, 3, 0, 0, 7, 8, 1, 73.
"1.22": 31, 37, 14, 0.5, 0, 0, 7, 4, 1, 8, 1, 103.5.
Also in image are some explanations of what counts for each category.
For blocks: 1.8 has 5 wooden fences, 1.16 has 17 blackstone blocks, 1.17+1.18 has a bunch of copper shit.
For items: block items do not count, spawn eggs do.
For mobs/entities: includes armor stands, etc. [not in image, that is, non-moving entities without AI].
For structures: fallen trees = 0.5.
For graphical: includes retextures/remodels, dye retexture and ore rextures count as one thing each.
For QOL: e.g. swimming horses, piglin bartering, fortune for raw ores.
For music: ambient or disc.
Other Game Mechanics: e.g. bigger world border, worldgen overhaul.
For biomes, enchants, and effects there is no explanation](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tnqqvfwsy4tbipolkot6uq7o/bafkreihesji6hbx2vuhsbwiznhohuhx4ohibrqhdnuvk4yccltikr3kdzq@jpeg)

A lot of Minecraft fans have hated every update.
"a modder could make this in a week" has been said by Redditors since 2012.
They hated big updates being too far apart, and they hate small updates being too frequent.
The most miserable members of every community are always the loudest
