The BEST Part of Every Minecraft Update (1.0-1.20)

TIMESTAMPS IN THE DESCRIPTION FAQ: Q: Weren't the new caves added in 1.18, not 1.17? A: Yeah, ima be honest, I kinda fumbled on that one, instead of "Best of 1.17 and 1.18", it was more like "Best of Caves" and "Best of Cliffs". The snapshots in between the two updates made it hard to determine which addition belonged to which update. Q: What factors are being considered to choose the best "thing"? A: Depends honestly, some of them are chosen because they have a lot of relevance in speedrunning/beating the game, others are just iconic features that make Minecraft what it is, and some of them are just because "I like it". There's really no ranking here, it's just that out of the features added in each of these updates, I think that these are the ones that stand out to me in a good way

He forgot that in 1.13 we have a swimming animation. We couldn't swim fast before 1.13 and it was a pain. But the update was very helpful. Also you get to go through a 1 block gap!

The other great thing about enchantments requiring lapis is that now doing a max-level enchant doesn't eat all of your 30 levels, it just takes 3 but requires you to be level 30.

My god how the time flew. I remember 1.8 coming out like it was yesterday and am still in the mindset of 1.9 being brand new.

You also forgot the fact that nametags stop mobs despawning, which massively helps farms and moving mobs

1.15 is underrated. The bug fixes were the best part of it.

The new cave generation wasn't added in 1.17, it was added in 1.18. 1.17 just introduced the items and the mobs.

I have a theory. The Nether wasn’t always a fiery hellscape. It was like lush caves. But then the piglins found Pigstep. When they played it, it was so fire, it turned the dimension into hell.

Imo, the best part of 1.13 were tridents, the fact its a long range and short range weapon and the enchantments it has, especially loyalty, riptide, and channeling, makes it my personal favorite part of 1.13

I feel like armor stands shoulda definitely won 1.8 because of how much they did for people who worked with command blocks and custom maps. Also honey was definitely underrated because since they act like slime blocks that don’t stick to other slime blocks it was huge for anyone who likes redstone.

honestly, 1.11 was a very tricky choice to make because it implemented two very useful features: shulker boxes (mentioned in the video) and rocket boosting, a much easier was of using the elytra to travel long distances instead of punch bow.

8:02 They do also have a useful functional purpose, stopping mobs from despawning.

One change that always get buried under the bigger changes, but was absolutely huge in my opinion is the changes made to boats. They used to be absolutely horrible, but now they actually function as boats. They don't break on impact with literally anything anymore and if you do decide to break it, you actually get the boat back instead of some planks and sticks. 10/10

4:03 I love the barely noticeable detail of the no longer alive snow golem. You just carry on talking and it’s hilarious.

Personally, my favorite feature of 1.12 is items in the crafting grid going directly to your inventory when you close the crafting interface.

17:35, even the jukebox is displaying that pigstep is straight fire🔥🔥

The best thing about 1.3 will always be the "Open to LAN" button to me. Playing in the same virtual space as my siblings from different computers was once a rare commodity!

wasn't the new cave generation delayed until 1.18? the 1.17 actually added only new blocks, no worldgen included

My favorite part of 1.18 was The Increase of the height of the world from height limit being from Y 256 to Y 319 and minimal height being from Y0 to Y -64
