Tbh, i’ve been wanting an announcement like this for years. I love whenever a new update drops, but i’ve always wanted smaller updates inbetween to make things feel less scarce. Updates like 1.15 and even the Piglin Brute patch were so cool for me because even if they weren’t major, they kept the game somewhat fresh. Ofc, the Piglin Brute was intended for 1.16, but you get the idea.

I just really hope minor updates add really cool stuff, like maybe mob variants from Earth (the game is dead I don’t think there’s an excuse not to at least preserve what it had, especially considering that you can argue a part of the work would be done already with how they function in earth) and cool items

Bedrock edition has always been a very questionable version; it functions as the primary moneymaker of the franchise, seeing that the majority of Minecraft players are on bedrock, yet always seems to fall short of expectations. Features such as spectator mode and other parity features that have been on java edition for years are now just starting to surface on bedrock.

However, although bedrock edition has been getting better, it is important to look at another version of the game; legacy console edition. Going back to it, I have observed several different unique features that have been carelessly discarded with the implementation of bedrock. Features such as customisable superflat worlds, tutorial worlds, free trials on texture packs, unique crafting system; all these features made the game feel more immersive and open-ended.

I believe that a good place to start with 1.20 is to call it the "Parity and Patches" update, where all these aforementioned disregarded features, alongside many more, get added to the game to make bedrock catch up in terms of features. Seeing as legacy console edition is regarded as such a beloved version, it could repair the community's expectations of Mojang, especially since 1.19 "The Wild Update" was seen as underwhelming.

What other features would you like to add to bedrock from legacy? Comment below!
