>>8050924Yes. I had this discussion with a friend just recently. It's very hard to add features for exploring and building. Sure they can add new blocks, but a new block doesn't inherently change how you interact with caving or building a home, in any game mode. New features, mobs, places, etc, are things the devs can dev into the game to sell more copies. And unfortunately it's a product, not a passion project nowadays.

Pic semirel, new world because I have some nostalgia to just survive, mine some iron and build a house.
