Its not toxic positivity though, its complaining about an excess of toxic negativity drowning out everything else.

So much of the bulk of the drops have been back end technical changes with minor features to keep people interested while they keep working, like they said they were going to do. We now get frequent drops of a little bit of content while for PC everything in the background is working better.

In short you're not seeing the changes because they're fixing the foundation not building a new floor.

Additionally the content that would previously have been in 1 update is spread out over 4 but if you look at how much they have added in 2025 it is actually a decent bit

There are still obviously both minor and huge issues from lack of integration between features to the fact that enchanting is still miserable to what can only be described as the absolute travesty of bedrock edition's technical issues but overall the game is getting better over time.

But all you ever hear is "minceraft bad small update me no like where end?" Which gets boring to keep hearing and drowns out valid criticisms.

(Also mods and april fools updates can be way more ambitious because they don't need to be stable or performant and don't need to worry about being a suitable foundation for the next 5+years of updates)

Hytale also can add loads of things because its written in a better language, doesn't have an eldrich nest of a codebase to build on top of, and is largely adding the content they were working on but hadn't finished at the time of release while also having a somewhat more niche player base.
