Minecraft is closing in on 15 years now, and so Mojang have given an update on where things stand and what their plans are for future development.
In the official blog post it was mentioned that they're going to completely change future update drops. Instead of doing one major update a year, they're moving to "a number of free game drops throughout the year" that will vary in size but give new content more frequently.
Not just that but they're also looking at some "long-term initiatives" to allow Minecraft to continue evolving long into the future. Which could be interesting once we know more about what they're cooking up.
The Minecraft Live event is also going to change, finally retiring the mob vote and instead "bring you something new". Additionally, there will now be two events a year instead of one so we can get more regular updates about what they're actually doing.
All seems pretty positive to me. Minecraft fans have long hated the mob vote because lots of good choices for new additions just get thrown away. And more regular updates will be great too, as Minecraft has traditionally had a really slow release cycle for even small changes.
Quoting: PikoloYou might want to get your nephew a really small mouse and keyboard instead - not being able to use both at 7y seems like a serious impediment at school.
Not all countries have that early introduction to computers. Some of them wait for when they are 12 or 13 years old, some countries don't even allow laptops (which I think it is beneficial from the standpoint of the student deviating into other tasks)...
Quoting: DogsRNiceIf only they had made a proper modding api like they said they would in like 2013
Agreed. Mods are awesome, but using mods was always a miserable task.
It is less miserable nowadays with stuff like PrismLauncher where you can even keep mods on par with your Minecraft version pretty easily.

Quoting: PenglingI'll be sticking with Minetest, myself, but now I'm wondering if Mojang will ever address the many failings of Minecraft Education Edition?
I have very high standards for the Youtube content I watch and just so I don't get recommendations for content I don't like, I often open stuff in private browsing. But I must say that I really enjoyed what you linked! Seemed like real good stuff. Will check out more videos from the channel. Thanks! ☺️
See more from me
