Well, I mean, Some people like these updates. I like them, they take the work of downloading a mod (Which I cannot do. At All.) out. Mods always seemed too, sort of like, not a part of the Real Minecraft, Vanilla Minecraft. It just seemed that mods that add new items and stuff is, well, not a part of the actuall, vanilla Minecraft. Jeb and the entire Minecraft Team seems take some of these mods into consideration, and implements them into the game, with a few tweaks. All of these new updates purely make Minecraft a more awesome, memorable, creative, and fun experience.
