Apparently it's an upcoming update that was talked about during Minecraft Live. I can't stand Mojang's presentation enough to watch the actual video so I was just reading the text recap, and that linked me to the article I originally posted.
The section in the Live recap also does not mention any ability to turn off or tweak this.
That's why I was asking the thread lol, I thought I might've just been missing something that Mojang tweeted out or snuck into the actual video that clarified some ability to turn off/tweak this stuff. Instead, the more I search for info on the vibrant visuals thing, the more I'm met with the kind of really greasy phrasing a company uses before they're about to push some awful UI update they know nobody will like. Every single news article is either not mentioning options at all or quoting from the official Mojang article.
It's such a shame seeing Mojang kill this game's original aesthetic. I hate the push by them to make the game look like generic pastelslop. I don't care if the programmer art was worse on a technical level to some twitter artist. It certainly wasn't bad, and now it feels like im being railroaded into building a certain way by mojang and the wider community itself. No more simple shapes and a couple of different blocks in a build. now all builds are like 70 different blocks and extremely busy shapes/building outlines just to make a rustic looking house that I totally havent seen before btw.
I don't know why would you even care about modern Minecraft. I experienced a cognitive dissonance experiencing a few minutes of the newest version. All the good versions with all the good mods are still there.
This is what I want to see more. Nu-Minecraft has Create as it's grandeur argument to play it? Backport it to a good version like 1.12.2. Backport everything to 1.12.2. There is zero reason to go beyond 1.12.2, all the good features post-1.12.2 got backported as well, like the new movement system and waterlogging.
Very nice. I think the only mod i haven't seen backported that's any good is Farmer's Delight. Which isn't ideal, but Vanilla Food Pantry fills the niche good-enough despite some mod-support-caused bloat.
I mean, done, i guess? Needs MysticalLib and CTM but that's probably expected given what Create does.
It's not a backport of any one version if that's what you want, it's taking from over the mod's entire lifespan for ideas, but personally that's a good thing. I missed the furnace engine.

Frankly I have no real interest in playing the newest minecraft updates other than for Map making and modding, it just sucks watching a game you played for years slowly morph into something completely unrecognizable, I know I can just play the older versions, but its more about watching how mojang treats the game today than the game itself for me, you'd think they'd atleast try to maintain the game's original feel beyond the surface level as the game gets more and more updates.
It's like watching a family member slowly fade away from dementia, but you can still talk to past versions of them well before they developed symptoms. Pardon the melodrama, if you may, but it's the only comparison that I can think of, frankly.
Curseforge, largest and most popular site used for hosting Minecraft mods (as well as mods for many other games) has, since at least 2023, proudly hosted a Minecraft mod called Create: Estrogen. This mod is an add-on for another influential mod called Create, a complex and versatile mod that adds advanced machinery and automation to Minecraft.
Create: Estrogen adds the a new crafting station into the game, the Centrifuge. This block enables you to craft estrogen pills, consumable items that give your Minecraft playermodel breasts (with jiggle physics) and a status effect called "Girl Power", which allows you to do high-speed dashes (ripped directly from indie game Celeste, which is extremely popular with troons and allies.) You can also craft estrogen patches which you can equip to have the effect for longer durations of time, and estrogen cookies. There are other "easter eggs" hidden in the mod but these are the main features as advertised on their Curseforge mod page. For a complete list of elements added by the mod, check out their official wiki on GitHub with entries such as "Horse Urine", "Thigh Highs", "Gender Change Potion", "Balls" and "Bottle of Dreams".
There's a lot to discuss here; the fact that multiple of these blatantly sexualized transgenderism fetish mods exist openly on the largest and most well-known Minecraft mod hosting site, the YouTube mod reviewer (linked/archived at the bottom of the post) with nearly a million views between both videos covering the mod... This is not a low-effort troll mod, it clearly took time to develop and has a massive userbase with 4.9 million downloads and over 300 comments on the mod page at the time of writing this post. It's all deeply troubling and I don't know how it seems to have kept such a relatively low profile.

I recognize that dude. I've seen his older videos before and I think the only reason why he got popular was because he was one of the only people who was posting general tips and guides for the create mod. Particularly in his newer videos he comes off as a theater kid. Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if he trooned out.
Well I said that because thats what i heard it described as.
I've been playing it and I think it could be described more as an extraction game.
Create world (a "mine"), gather experience in mine (through killing stuff or getting blocks, which are turned into experience when you leave), find extraction point/world exit, use experience on upgrades. (more inventory slots, better starting gear, etc.)
What's the deal with NeoForge? I've seen some people mention it, seems that the consensus here is that it's bad.
I've only seen their official blog post saying that the OG dev was ass to work w/, and to replace some antique code.
These things are often quite one sided, didn't list much specifics, and Reddit trannies seem to be praising it, so any kiwis willing to fill me in?

Lead dev of Forge was always a stuck up cunt, so after years of suffering with him everyone decided to finally ditch him and start their new fork, except all the Forge mods worth a shit are for 1.12.2 and 1.7.10 where it hasn't been updated for years and NeoForge is for nu versions only where all the mods worth a shit for that use Fabric anyways.
When will Mojunk finally turn MC's UI into material design slop?
When will they make block corners smooth just like on my Windows 11?
When will they add AI support?
Less bad, just useless. People only really use Fabric or regular Forge, if this was the only modloader fork it would be more popular but I'd say people have "fork fatigue" where if some dev breaths improperly another fork spawns. Since most of these forks are made or ran by trannies, that's why you'll see them praise these forks. Modloader, launcher, it's just tiresome. People want to stick with what's familiar, why else is shit like Quilt largely forgotten immediately despite its capabilities?
The year is 2094, Microjang just released their next decennial Minecraft update, only one line is added to the change long.
"Fixed mobs spinning on fences, half blocks, and the corner edge of full blocks."
Mandatory 20 gorillian purchases of Bedrock ensue over this revolutionary update. Critics are IP banned from the entire internet and are publicly executed, not necessary in that order. Java, now hardcoded to send a swat team to your location if you even think about installing third party assets, gets a pity update of 20 lines of garbage code that does nothing but eat up another GB or ram, but at least you now have a new horse color.
