(Image alt: 3D rendering of one of the new spring variants. It is much shallower and wider than the previous designs, featuring a water pool around 8 blocks in diameter, surrounded by a sulfur and granite ring. It also extends down into the ground with tuff and granite.)
Of course, the one pictured is only one of many variants, you can see a full list here:
I personally think it's a good step in the right direction. It's obviously a response to all the negative player feedback as of late regarding the original spring designs and I feel like it addresses it well.
They just keep adding biomes for the sake of adding biomes. Like the only innovation they have left is just making the world feel more and more random. Yay, one more thing to have to generate a new world to find, because you already explored too far around the one you made already.
Nothing they do these days feels like it has much of a point to it, you know? When was the last time they added any new systems or gameplay paradigms? What about, like, adding an economy, maybe? A magic system? Gear that actually does something? How about more weather variety beyond "global precipitation" and "early bed time"? Seasons? Environmental effects for survival mode like heat and cold? Will there ever be another dimension? I'll even just take stairs and slabs for terracotta and concrete at this point.
Will Java ever actually get that fancy "Vibrant Visuals" update they promised, or are they just going to shove that in a dark corner and hope everyone forgets about it like the ray tracing update they once promised?
