Hi Pix and Joel,

On the recent Minecraft Live, Lady Agnes mentioned that the team plans to prioritize exploration over the next few years; however, I am concerned that this approach may not be sustainable.

As updates are released every few months, players must travel increasingly farther to find new biomes. This issue is particularly evident now that two consecutive updates are adding new biomes. While items like saplings can be brought back to a player’s home base, resources such as cinnabar require players to travel tens of thousands of blocks each time they need more.

This seems to contradict Mojang’s goal of having worlds last for generations. If every update forces players thousands of blocks away from their base, sustaining a long-term world becomes increasingly difficult, especially for those who are unable or unwilling to reset old chunks.

Dovid walked, and walked, and walked, but he didn’t find a dappled forest, he did reach the far lands though!
