Hi Pix and Joel,

In Episode 390 you guys talked about wind, and weather, and a potential sandstorm in Minecraft. This got me wondering about how sand gathers everywhere in an actual sandstorm. Could this be a mechanic in Minecraft similar to powdered snow?

It would solve the need of devastating deserts or duping sands. What do you think?

Thanks and Regards,

MS got buried in sand while admiring the sandstorm.

Mojang has had a few years of refining their process for these smaller content drops, as such I believe we will be looking at multiple end updates instead of one big end update. I am guessing this would look like adding a new biome, a mob or two, and several cool new building blocks for three to five drops in a row. 

Since Mojang are doing two Minecraft Live events a year, they could announce the updates, and explain how, and why they believe that this will be a better process overall to bring us as players all along for the ride.

I’m interested to hear your thoughts, and I always enjoy the content, and all the love, and hard work you both pour into this show, and our favorite blocky game!
