I think "items aren't meant to be permanent" hasn't been true gameplay wise for a very long time. Sure mending caused that issue, but there was plenty of time to nerf it, and it never was. You need it. It's why people quit if they lose their endgame gear: It's too painful to build it back up again.

I don't see a world where Mojang has enough money to buy themselves out

That ship sailed over a decade ago, if they wanted to split from Microsoft now they'd have to buy the game back

If Sarah could answer you I'm sure it would have happened already

The eyes are inconsistent or look weird: some are dots, others have whites, a lot don't have the pupil where it is on the adult which makes them look out of place. Including an example of a retexture

Baby sheep look very janky and plastic, not enough wool on their head and head should be moved 2/2

I would if I knew they were listening, which is the crux of the issue people have

I have genuinely seen a lot of people's thoughts about how things are textured and modelled but I don't think it's getting to the right people, and if it is, then it feels like screaming into the void. I really can't recall any art feedback affecting any drops even if it's a popular sentiment.

Comes with being the dev most open to answering questions i suppose. Askers feel like they're seen on here because of you lol

Basic furniture like chairs and tables seems like a good idea, especially if there's stone versions. A fencepost and carpet doesn't really work for a pure stone house

And this is exactly why I asked lol. The feedback website should definitely be updated, it's been six years and clearly opinions have changed.

Thank you for helping create John Mantle

Please use these attributes in vanilla, not just vibrant visuals, please please please

even if modders and addon creators have got to them first: these features are the vanilla game, the official survival experience, and deserve to be revamped by the official devs. Even if the stuff the community has made is good, inspiration can be found to make something new fit for Minecraft
