1.7, it nerfed caves, removed the rose and broke hunger even more. it added trees, which is awesome, but doesnt justify the changes listed above. the worst kind of mc update is the one that removes something. 1.19 had bad marketing, and was disappointing for a wild update - if it was the damp and dark update and it was marketed like that from the start, im sure everyone would be super happy. beta 1.8 removed the instant healing, players were mad. 1.7 removed the caves, players were mad. 1.9 removed spam clicks, players were mad. while im one of the few that loves the new combat, i wont lie, removing the old combat was a big mistake, should have just been a gamerule honestly. but now we have mc servers staying on a version of minecraft that is closer to the classic versions than the writing of this comment. the new chat features are a whole another can of worms and its less minecraft and more microsoft, really, if you really want, you can communicate with all the swear words and other banned chat things in discord or something (but the chat reporting itself is garbage i must admit). rhe best minecraft updates just add, and change things in a way that give them more value (like campfires being given more function with the introduction of bees, or fireworks with elytra flight, or nether fortress with the wither). in retrospect i probably dislike 1.6 the most because its just boring, it has 1 major feature and thats it, and that feature (horses and travel they provide) has gotten more and more useless over the years with ice highways, elytra flight and the nether roof becoming a well known place to travel safely, but in the moment, 1.7 left the worst taste in my mouth
