Summary
Minecrafthas always been very minimalist when it comes to furniture variety, so one fan put together a concept of how a vanilla-friendly furniture expansion would look like. ThoughMinecraftmay not have as thorough of a furniture catalog asTerrariadoes, it hasn’t stopped players from using platforms, stairs, and trapdoors to build elaborate kitchens, cellars, and other interior rooms in theirMinecrafthouse. However, official updates from Mojang in this regard have been slow, and many players have been less than satisfied with the company’s approach to adding content through thecontroversial Minecraft Mob Vote.
While people are encouraged to useMinecraftmods for the purposes of expanding the base game, Mojang’s stance is that vertical slabs and complex furniture inhibit creativity. Given how much theMinecraftcommunity has accomplished under the game’s limitations, it’s a fair argument to make, but many players believe that the developers are being too conservative, and that a few more building blocks would allow even more elaborateMinecraftbuilds to become a reality.
AMinecraftplayer named brulov put together a custom design of a living room using this proposed new furniture. Items such as rustic wallpapers, a sofa, a grandfather clock, or even an end table add plenty of mood and atmosphere to a room, as evidenced by brulov’s concept shared on the officialMinecraftsubreddit. Though newitems inMinecraftsuch as the Glazed Terracota have allowed players to create complex rug patterns, furniture inMinecraftis widely considered to be an untapped gold mine.
ThelatestMinecraftupdate was Trails and Tails, and it added the long-awaited Archeology mechanic, which was originally slated to debut in Caves and Cliffs. The latest string of updates forMinecrafthave expanded the game in significant ways from a gameplay standpoint, but players are hoping that Mojang will add more visual variety as well. The new decorative blocks introduced in Patch 1.20 have had a glowing reception from the community, which at least means thatMinecraftis headed in the right direction, albeit at a pace slower than some of its fans would like.
WithWolf Armor being added toMinecraftas a result of the Mob Vote, the floodgates have also opened for more equipment to make its way to the game, with the end result being a potential expansion to the combat system inMinecraft. WhileMinecraft’s longevity has been enviable compared to most other games, it’s also important for the game to continue to evolve its formula, and to that end, fans are hoping that Mojang will reevaluate its stance on furniture in the near future.
Minecraftis available on Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and legacy platforms.
