the title says it all I'm gonna be saying my opinion on minecraft 1.13-1.30 I guess (even tho 1.13 isn't recent lol) 1.13: honestly, a really good update, added sea turtles, one of my favourite animals, added drowned, which kinda suck TBH but cool concept, also just made the ocean a lot cooler and more fun to go into, but the phantoms suck 8.5/10 1.14: I liked this update, the wandering traders suck, but the improved villages, crossbows, new textures and stuff was really swell, this is probably one of my favourite updates 9/10 1.15: while it was small, it wasn't actually disappointing, the bees are nice, a new source of food, a new use of campfires and shears, lots of Redstone potential, and like, 100 things I can't remember 8/10 1.16: probably my favourite update, it made the nether (which sucked back then TBH) a much better dimension, new tree types (warped is really cool), new enemies, more life, and netherite is really good 9.5/10 1.17: it was aight, the axolotls were swell I guess, the moss was meh, the glow berries were cool I suppose, the amythest and copper, while useless, do look kinda nice (c'mon though mojang, give them a better use other than lightning rods and spyglasses), they also added some other stuff 7/10 1.18: TBH, I can't remember if this update added anything, I think it just changed the world generation, I somehow never noticed, but I'm pretty sure they added 'otherside', one of my favourite music discs, into the update 6/10 1.19: I can't really consider this a 'wild' update, more like a 'add stuff we were gonna add a year ago and improve the swamps' update, it wasn't really 'wild', I feel that they could have made the savannahs cooler, maybe new trees, or they could add more life to the jungle, or maybe they could add things like deers to the forest, IDK, but I guess the frogs and mangrove trees were sorta cool, and I guess this update wasn't terrible, it was alright 7/10 1.20: sorta like a QOL update, they added archaeology (which they promised back in 1.17-1.18), sniffers (which are kinda mid and I would have preferred the rascals), camels, which are cool, and some other stuff 8/10 (note that yes, I'm aware mojang works hard on the updates, but no, that won't make me think any better of them)
C2A note that this is only what I think
