Agreed. But the biggest problem they face right now is Inventory. They keep adding new blocks but have nothing to mitigate the clutter problem in the inventory. (I enjoy when blockvomit fags complain about it because they did it to themselves

)
If I was running the show and could do whatever here's what I would add to the game:
-Backpacks
-Increase the hotbar length
-A QoL ajustment for the inventory
-Better hopper style item filter
-Ruined/Delapitated structures
-More dungeon variation (Trial chamer is a step in the right direction)
-Item blueprints (Unlocks recepie upon obtaining permanantly)
-Early game movement item (like a grapeling hook, would help with cave exploration)
-Legendary weapons that only one of exist per world and maybe have some unique enchant (Kinda like the bane of pigs but less OP)
-Mobs that arn't almost useless
-More weapon variation (Daggers, spears, scythes, throwing weapons)
Im sure there is more but I cant think of them off the top of my head. Most of these things you can find in mods.
Personally I think that once Notch sold his company to microsoft, anything they made was doomed to be nothing more than a stale paste. Bland, sovlless, uninteresting, corprate board approved.
