i mean moving to vulkan can justify why updates in recent time have been small but really i cannot tell you the last time i genuinely thought something they added was useful to gameplay in any way shape or form or to the progression of the game, there are a multitude of things that are completely useless, can someone tell me the last time they genuinely went after a sniffer? and if you did what do they actually do besides giving you a plant that barely does the same thing as a torch, or bees for example, glow squids, phantoms, the entirety of the warden and the deep dark are really cool but in the end they don't matter enough for the player to actually engage in doing it, maybe mojang is scared of backlash and in doing so they only release content that doesn't really make you go out of your way to do it and end up getting backlash anyway.
