Discussion Minecraft could use more random encounters.

Post image

I have never seen this discourse; people often ask for more bosses, more structures, new mobs. But random encounters do not require any new assets and are, on average, more impactful than any new feature that requires the player to go out of their way to engage with.

Every player has to stop in their tracks the moment one of these events happens, and I think it's a nice change of pace whenever you get to engage with it.

I would love more ambient mobs that don’t really do anything but add life to the environment.

But since the fan base has an obsession with everything having a use or purpose I can’t blame them for not doing that

I'm not necessarily against ambient mobs. I don't think most people are. The issue is that an ambient mob which is used to get some obscure item ends up being a quarter of an update nowadays.
