It really vexes me when I hear people say that "Mojang doesn't listen to the community" or "nobody asked for this" regarding Minecraft updates because as someone who tries to stay up to date with everything Minecraft, its just untrue. I've heard for a long time a lot of people wanting "proper dungeons" in Minecraft, more decorative blocks, unique offensive items, and the like, and I think that 1.21 delivers on a lot of these. Yet for every update, I hear the claim that "nobody wanted this" which makes me think the people saying this are either disconnected from the rest of the community, or are self centered enough to believe that everyone wants exactly the same things that they do.

Imagine fighting a stray, a bogged, a wither skeleton and a normal skeleton at the same time, must be pain.

The zombie and skeleton variants are actually some of my favorite mobs because they make the different biomes feel much more distinct in terms of gameplay as well as visually.

tbh the bogged is not lazy cause it’s suppost to be a variant of the skeleton and having variants of things is nice

you know whats lazier? a skeleton that shoots poison arrows. without a model swap and still having the same hp as a regular skeleton

(i haven't watched the video yet,) i think the bogged helps add slight variation to the mobs like the stray does. i like how there's sub categories of mobs like the husks, its pretty neat. if anything i'd like to see more mob edits for mobs like the creeper. i don't think it's lazy, i think them plopping skeletons into the new structure when skeleton dungeons already exist would be more lazy. edit: people asked for the red dragon for years so, i dont see why it should be a problem now

Minecrafters: give us a new skeleton, don't just use the regular skeleton holding a tipped arrow. Also Minecrafter: the bogged is so lazy, mojang sucks.

I don't see how the bogged can be classified as a retextured skeleton. While yes, it is a skeleton at its core, it has different health, a slower firing speed, and applies a different effect. If anything the stray is more of a retexture than the bogged and I never hear anyone say anything about that.

Ngl a new Skeleton alt is something I’ve wanted for years

The bogged and the breeze is more interesting and applicable to the game then 70% of mob vote options have been. Mojang added both of them casually without much fanfare.

How are the Breeze Balls (Wind Charge) similar to anything we’ve had before? It lets you rocket jump. It’s a throwable, but that’s the only goddamn similarly in behaviour. People just can’t be happy with the new stuff, can they?

It’s not a “lazy” mob, it’s just not really a new mob. It’s a variant of the skeleton with a new skin. Which is great. I just want them to come up with way more variant skins for all the mobs, since that’s one of the easiest and quickest additions they could possibly make.

“Mob we already know and love.” Skeletons are one of the most annoying mobs in Minecraft, so I wouldn’t say the skeleton is loved as much as it is considered a classic mob.

I don't think the bogged is that lazy of a mob, because the lazier option would've been to just keep the skeletons holding poison arrows and not adding a new mob at all (also it's at least more different from the stray because it shoots slower and has less health)

But... Weren't people asking for this??? Variation is nice. Not lazy

I noticed a huge change on community response after 1.16, after it I think people started expecting that every update should be a dimension-wide rework. I think not every update should revolutionize the game, a lot of people are already complaining that minecraft is getting too complicated, I think as long as it feels fresh, they don't need to add 7 more dimensions.

The “Earth Charge” would basically just be a rock that you would throw at other mobs to annoy them.

Honestly anyone who hates the bogged and calls mojang lazy for making it are probably the same ones who complain about skeletons originally not having a variant for the trial chambers

3:40 the zombie and skeleton variants are meant to parallel each other, while not necessarily be the same concept. Husks and strays are both two extremes of hot and cold biomes. Drowned and bogged are both water based. They match enough without having to be exactly the same

I think that while the Bogged is a rather simple mob, it fits the game rather well. I don't think that a mob needs to be super complicated to be added to the game.

Definitely not lazy because whoever made that texture was cookin 🔥🔥

imo the bogged feels like the least lazy mob in the last 3 years Edit: YALL I GET IT THE WARDEN WAS COOL

Minecraft mob varients arent lazy, infact they are MORE creative being able to look at a mob and think of a new varient rather than just making a new lazy mob that only kind of fits in. gotta hate people being negative for the sake of it

I mean, a lot of games have multiple elemental variants of their monsters. As far as I know they usually don't receive hate.

They just made the poison arrow skeleton a separate enemy and made it spawn in swamps. I don't see it as a yo let's go big new mob inclusion, but as a neat bonus. It wasn't planned, it just happened to become what it is now.

I hate when people say that mob variations are "lazy." They're not lazy, they're _cool._ Taking a normal thing and putting a fun spin on it is really interesting! There are entire popular mods out there that literally exist to make a bunch of seemingly pointless mob variations, and people praise them (looking at you elemental creeper mod). It baffles me how hypocritical this community is sometimes. Like seriously... people _love_ Wither Skeletons, but hate the Bogged? Makes no sense. And yes, we _did_ ask for the Bogged. Literally the second they had Skeletons holding tipped arrows people (myself included) started asking for them to add the Mossy Skeleton from Dungeons.

Mojang NEEDS to lean more into fantasy features these next few updates. That’s often when we get the best and most unique features. Everyone loved the nether update, partially because it was fantastical and didn’t need to be grounded in realism. These last couple updates I think have been really lackluster because of this new direction. We couldn’t have fireflies because they could be poisonous, we didn’t have an End update because instead we needed a new swamp. Adding elements of realism is fine, but it shouldn’t take away from other fun features. I’m already liking this new update because of things like the wind charge and trial chambers, but they should definitely add more things like this in the future.

I gotta agree with that one guy, the Breeze doesn't really fit, why is there a WIND spirit mob in a temple that was 1: Sealed off long ago and 2: UNDERGROUND? just because it can interact with red-stone isn't a big enough justification for the BREEZE to be exclusive to a place where you can't feel a breeze

"This new mob sucks, is just a reskined skeleton." Husk and Strays.

I don’t care if it’s technically another lazy reskin, more mob variants have been something I wanted and I’m more than happy we got this

0:05 …since when did potions boost you into the air and interact with redstone components?

I see the Bogged as a contrast to the Drowned just like the Stray is a contrast to the Husk. I also imagine the Breeze as a replacement or a minor apology for adding the Phantom instead of Mob D (the Hovering Inferno). The point is, I like where Mojang is heading as long as it’s not a dead end in the never ending maze we call life, but I’ll never forgive them for the crab injustice…

Personally, I don't like the name, but other than that, i feel like its a pretty niffty little concept. I do hope at some point, we get an under water skeleton variant, a desert skeleton variant, a Wither Zombie variant, a Frozen Zombie Variant, and a Posion Zombie variant like the ones seen in Minecraft Dungeons. Overall, that would be 5 Zombie variations total & 5 Skeleton variants total including the ones we already have right now for both. Same way say that's way too many variations but I don't care. It will make the game more challenging yes, but if the drops are good, it could be pretty rewarding too. I honestly want to see it ❤ Edit: I meant 6 variants total for both. Not 5 😊 2nd n final edit: I think it'd be cool if there was a 7th variant for each. A firey variant. Skeletons that always spawn with enchanted Fire Aspect bows (or simply add fire arrows to the game i don't care which) where if they hit you, it'll set you ablaze. Same with Fire Zombies. If they hit you when your near, it'll ignite the player. I feel like these could be pretty cool additions to the Nether. Frozen Zombies can freeze you or give you a frostbite freezing affect when touched or throw icey snowballs that actually do damage. Strays can also drop Frozen arrows, that when hitting the player, it freezes them or gives them the same effect as when you're in snow for too long. Call it frostbite 🥶 Wither Zombies can give the same effect as Wither Skeletons. Wither Skeletons should drop Wither arrows that when used on another player, can give them the wither effect. Sand/Desert Skeletons shoot Sand arrows that when hit, it gives you suffocation effect, as you can't breathe when you have sand in your mouth. Idk it's stupid but at least it's different from a regular skeleton. Under water skeletons can use an enchanted bow that allows for arrows to pierce through the water. Just throwin ideas out here. I hope they all happen ❤

I think having "re-textured" mobs in games is a good thing, sometimes its tiring seeing the same mob over and over. its good to have similar enemies with slightly different changes to their behavior

Toycat, you keep forgetting that Mojang has a disincentive to offer cosmetic variations (like pig and cow variants) because of how much they earn from the Marketplace. They want to leave that alone for modders to play around with. We're lucky to get a poison skeleton.

Your segues all make me smile. It’s a true talent.

I really wish they added sand as a loot from husks, it would add more uses for this mod and we would finally get a renewable sand source!

I think the Iceoliger will come first because, I'm pretty sure the reason the Aluioner was moved was because it would be too annoying on mobile devices, which is a good reason to have it removed.

I must agree that the Trial Chambers are great, however to make them almost the SOLE focus of this entire update is a big mistake. I’ve said it many times before and I’ll say it again, but the big focus updates need to return. When an update has a real focus it always feels more complete. 1.13, 1.14, 1.16 and 1.17/18 all accomplished this and a return to those form of updates is exactly what I think everyone is after right now.

I like the Bogged's design, and that the Poison Skeleton has been replaced... but doesn't it feel a bit weird that this update has essentially been on rails (or whatever you want to call it) , as far as how development has gone? They had the verticality for the Breeze before the Breeze, the podzol blocks were around the poison Skeleton spawner before the Bogged came, the Wind Charge was added in a later snapshot than the Breeze, the Vaults had chests holding their place until a later snapshot. It feels like this update was planned to be a slow-burn reveal on many things to make the overall update feel bigger than if they had said most of it at once. And maybe they're right, but people will be disappointed that there's nothing else (apart from the Crafter and natural Bogged spawning) that exists outside of the Chambers. Mojang are still experimenting with how to announce/add features and what to add, and I'm not sure what they'll get out of this one. I wonder if this idea of almost giving hints is a good way to go, or if it feels too weird for people if they notice.

If anyone is curious about the "parity" changed mentioned at the end of the video, Trial Chambers are generated at roughly the same spot in both versions, but the rooms are generated differently. (Hopefully that's changed).

I actually think giving each biome more unique corresponding features is a great idea. It encourages exploration tremendously for players. My perfect ideal Minecraft is each biome or biome type has at least one unique mob. Flower forests could have butterflies, dark oak forests could have fairies and fairy homes, soul sand valley could have some kind of ghost mob, badlands could have vultures, etc

Well, the community, along with a lot of commentary channels said they wanted a new poison variant instead of a normal skeleton holding a tipped arrow, so not sure where the term lazy came from

Different versions of familiar mobs add some extra enjoyment for when you're traveling to different biomes. It makes the world feel more, idk, alive? You have to remember their different mechanics, which is fun, too. Variety is the spice of life.

Microsoft learnt from their mistakes with Rare where they kept shooting down game ideas and cancelling others that eventually ended up killing Rare (or at the very least mutilating it beyond recognition) they know now that the reason why they bought the studio is because they are talented and know how to make good games that they wouldn't think of it's just sad that Rare had to die before they learnt this lesson

“Is the Bogged Minecraft’s laziest mob?” Glow Squid, Allay, and the Sniffer: *”Allow me to introduce myself”*

bruh. there really is no pleasing people. People complained that the poison arrow skeletons were just skeletons that spawned difficulty, and mojang listened and added this. And now ppl are complaining still. wtf

The breeze also works perfectly for the trial chambers because of the verticality, which is something I feel like more new structures should focus on due to the increased number of movement options (Levitation, elytra, even just building upwards)

kingbdogz: “One of the biggest things left out about the whole "why not add all 3" is also all the things the community WOULDN'T get because we'd be focusing on adding 2 extra mobs. Time isn't some free resource - if we worked on all of them, we'd have less in the core update.” Mojang: **adds 3 worse mobs anyways** Well that was a freaking lie.

"12 things unique about a biome" is kinda the point. It would make going there 'feel' like something. More variants please! 🙌

I’ve been wanting more magic like fetures for mc for so long. Really hope they lean into the idea of elements

Community wants variation of mobs. Mojang adds it. Community hates it. Community complain that the poison skeletons in the chambers look lazy. Mojang fixes that and Community is furious.

11:30 that is a good question I think that It is 2 people because the clone does not have your life experiences, memories, or regrets

Honestly whether a feature is 'good' or not depends entirely on how fun you find it. And with a game with so many players, you'll never please everyone. I don't care about the armadillo, and I actively prevent wolves from being anywhere near my bases. But many of my friends love those features.

There can be only one more elemental mob that starts with b, more likely than not they're calling it the Blizzard

People: begging for the skeleton with poisoned arrows to be its own mob Mojang: does it People:

To me, it seems mojang learned nothing from the nether update. Development is “ramping up,” and that implies a larger update. With the nether update, the community was very exited for such a large update, but now any update smaller than that almost seems minuscule. Having another big update proves mojang hasn’t realized this.

WE NEED MORE WITCH VARIANTS THEY ARE FORGOTTEN

the only thing that i don't like about the Trial Chambers is the color. there should be varying oxide levels throughout, not just fully oxidized and not oxidized at all. i think it would look better with all the types of copper throughout. o well

I appreciate the highlight in the video toycat. I also really hope that they add something else for 1.21 that they haven't announced yet, because although I can even to a certain extent agree that is cool, it's just not the bold move I would take after two years of flop updates. But I am sure Mojang knows something we don't.

I honestly think that these varients of other mobs would be more well received by the community if we just got more varients of other mobs. Im not talking about color swaps. Proper varients. Hell zombies dont really have interesting varients like skeletons. When they updated caves i genuinely thought they were going to at least reskin the basic mobs you find in the cave biomes. Same goes for the deep dark, i feel like they could have made like corrupted versions of mobs that act similar to the warden. I still feel like endermen who spawn in the nether should have their own varient or reskin at least.

Every zombie should have a skeleton counterpart. Imaging skeleton versions of the husk and drowned and zombie versions of the stray, bogged, and wither.

I think the persons comment about the breeze was misunderstood, they seemed to be talking about the theming. When you think of underground's monsters, how many would honestly think "Cloud, wind, air" So I would agree that teeming wise, a cloud enemy would be better suited higher up, on mountains. If they had the exact same mob, stat and effect wise anyway, but was a rock element, it would fit perfectly underground.

I appreciate you TC! So honest and awesome if I hit the lottery you will have a lifetime member!!!

I’m glad the bogged shoots slower since poison is already annoying when your fighting witches

I've been really enjoying every major Minecraft update since I started playing the game on 1.13, even the Bees & Bugs update, small as it was, because of the new uses of the honey block. As long as each update has something with neat little functions like that, I'm interested in them. Sure, they'll never be as good as the Update Aquatic, as much as the Nether Update tried, but at least we haven't had any updates as buggy as Village & Pillage was on Java. Imagine releasing an update where item frames just crashed the game and mobs would regularly despawn regardless of whether they were named or should despawn or not. The enemy design in that was really creative too, illagers with bows and big boy beasties. Anyway, I've been really enjoying them, pity that some folks are struggling. Perhaps a break and coming back later will help them discover more enjoyment in it.

If Blaze rods clearly come from the Blaze's floating rod things that hover around its head (the Breeze has these too, they're just clustered together in the wind under its head), then where do the wind charges come from on the Breeze? Do you think they're in its head?

7:25 Huge relief to hear that Microsoft isn't limiting Mojang. As for the marketplace, I think it's great that artists are getting paid for their work, unlike Java mod developers who aren't allowed to get paid on account of the TOS. I of course am not talking about the the 'modern houses' on the Marketplace though.

The illusioner was included in a Minecraft short, so that is probably confirmation of it being added

Earth Charge = Mudball. Getting hit with a mudball has a small chance to cause temporary blindness.

I love the bogged. I think if they had an update dedicated to more of these variant esq mobs it would be really cool.

This is literally what I wanted from the trial chambers. A new mob skin for the poison arrow skeletons to help tell them apart.

The gameplay footage in the background really shows how useless the wind charge is 😂 i keep laughing when toycat failed to make those jumps he thought he could with the boost of wind charges

Bore its a blaze with four big rods and has a golem head.Can change himself becoming a golem and shoots dirt and stone charge its a friendly mob.Brine water blaze is similar to a squid but he is a protector of ocean monument and they are friendly towards guardians and they shoot acquacharge.These are my made elemental mobs

Surprisingly boo doesn't require money at the moment. It has ways to spend money but it seems to be better in that way. Tho it does have a couple bugs and not a huge amount of activity so finding people is still hard. As far as the bogg it's neat but my least favorite mob is the witch because it's poison ignores Armor leaving you at 1 hp which skeletons can exploit to take you out at a distance... and the bogg is those two features in one so it's probably going to quickly become one of the few mobs I'm afraid of xD

So now we got Husk for Stray and Drowned for Bogged

I came for Minecraft but left with advice I sorely needed. ❤

The bogged was pretty much already apart of minecraft dungeons.

Anyone calling this lazy please stop. Mob variation is awesome and we want mojang to keep doing this so please stop saying it’s bad

i feel like it would make more sense if the bogged used crossbows. |it would add variation and it would make more sense since they wanted to make the bow recharge slower for a bogged which is exactly what minecrafts crossbow does.

Genuinely really happy with the bogged. I want more hostile mobs that are more common than a Warden, and a bogged works great. I'd be so happy if we got more zombie, skeleton, creeper, or spider variants

5:56... okay. Mechanically, Yes. Aesthetically, no. HOWEVER!! Not enough people are calling attention to the Blaze similarity. This mob is ment for the End. I think we're getting an End update very soon, and this is there way of hinting. (Another reason I think this mob is ment for the end is that if you consider that End rods are made with Blaze Rods, it doesn't make much sense, considering every other block in the end city, except brewing stands and banners/chests, are able to be crafted from resources around the end. Breaze has rods, only a matter of time till they can drop them 😉)

The nice part is PSvr1 works with PS4 and PS5 using a free dongle. The crap part is that they are not cross compatable. it makes sense PSvr 1 was early for decent usuable at home VR. But it sucks

There is a bug on the series X that makes the bogged invisible. Very challenging to fight lol

My main problem with the bogged is that they’re so blatantly balanced around spawning in the trial chambers. It doesn’t seem like there’s a point in letting them spawn both there and on the surface

Exactly as how joke character never actualy steal a spot in games. A variant of a skeleton is not lazy compared to a full new mob. Either they did what they could with the time they had and that still more than nothing (or a regular skeleton with poison arrows). Or they just wanted to make a damn joke character because they can and thats fun. a variant of skeletons just make that family of mobs and the minecraft univers just a tiny bit more cooherent.

The creeper should never get a variant other than the charge version. The thing that makes it so special was the fact that there is only one type of it and that there’s no other mob like it.

glow squids: allow me to introduce myself

Fire charge(bedwars) gets throw and explode to fire Wind charge gets throw and pushes entities Water charge? Gets throw? And knockbacks entities? Earth charge? Gets throw? And stucks entity? Blaze is a fire flying type mob Breeze is a wind levitating type mob Shores?

- Stray: Spawns naturally in cold biomes - Husk: Spawns naturally in deserts - Drowned: Spawns naturally underwater - Bogged: Spawns naturally in Swamps - Cave Spiders: Only spawns from a spawner in 1 specific structure, doesnt spawn naturally in Caves. Explain Mojang. Why dont Cave Spiders spawn in Caves under Y=0 yet?

honestly I think we just need game changing updates yk line the wind dude is actually pretty cool and really I want tameable dragons and like really more biomes and and features

Wind charges aren't anything like splash potions lol.

I would love different biome texture variations for animals.

You say "lazy" but you forgot we got the Husk and the Drowned so it makes sense they add a 2nd skele variant for specific biome

bogged? thats exactly how modern minecraft feels. the ocean update was the last decent update. maybe the nether update, but looking back ot seems like the beginning of the end of an age for minecraft.

My thing is, I would be completely fine with them being one of the Trial Chamber mobs, if the Trial Chamber spawned exclusivley under swampland. The problem is, why take this obviously swamp-themed mob that spawns in swamps, and also have it be one of the couple Trial Chambers mobs, despite the chambers spawning in multiple places. If anything, having a mob/mob variant that *doesn't* feel so biome specific (i.e. the breeze) would be the right step for these new structures and better for the Bogged in general.

Im content with the bogged and super excited about it. Mojang is adding reasonable additions and not promising anything or leading me on. We dont need a whole new revolutionary mob, this is still a huge improvement from the previous years. I personally believe those who arent satisfied are never going to be satisfied no matter what.

6:21 if that’s the case. Then the mob should’ve been something not wind related and more red stone related. Or, copper related.

I showed the bogged trailer to my friend and he was like "no way they named it *that*" followed up by "that's it? It's just a copy of the skeleton but weaker" xD I however am glad we're getting some variety. I agree witht he classic feel comment in the video. I'm a bit surprised that we didn't get mob variants like this way earlier. The Zombie could get more variants too, if you compare it to the Skeleton (I will always hate baby Zombie)

I never had a problem with reskinning a mob and adding new features to it don’t know why everything needs to be so new and unique what next you guys want enemy spheres in Minecraft? The point is that if they say make a new slime for the end that teleports 4 blocks towards you and duplicates when hit I would not complain I see lots of opportunities for already existing mobs like what if they make a wither skeleton archer or a skulk bat maybe another cow type or new dog variant’s
