announces they'll be working only two days a week from now on 
https://old.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1fct0dn/the_future_of_minecrafts_development/
Reminder that over 300 people 
work on Minecraft to deliver less content in a year than a single unpaid modder can deliver in a week part-time 
Despite this lackluster pace 
Microsoft announced recently that they will be cutting back on Minecraft updates and updating it even slower

It's that too. And something you can lose hours in digging tunnels to get more gear to dig tunnels faster. Or exploration, especially if you've never played it before.
It's the ultimate sandbox for me

2011:
I'm adding a new mob called the (Sl)enderman - get it?
2024:
No stop, stop we can't do that. Allowing the player to punch fireflies would constitute animal cruelty. Therefore we will instead add the Shitfarter, a passive mob that occasionally farts shit (it's gonna be so epic and wholesome 
). Anyway, Björg i think we've done enough for the week (made a twitter post), now let's go gurgle eachother's piss.

The slow pace is definitely on purpose. Drip feeding new content over years and years keeps the game relevent to people who play it in bursts and then put it down for a year+. Which is important because the game is now basically just an advertisement for minecraft merch and spinoffs.

I think it's more likely that they have such a huge and poorly written code based that the best they can achieve each update is a bolted on, useless feature which further bloats the game.
Some bean counter probably also figured out that the massive updates aren't actually producing sales.

they took more time to make it look worse. Their entire new artistic style is just dithering everything (increasing noise) and using a way broader color pallete

Some of the modding community has even been hoping for mojang to stop updating java edition altogether, since that would fix the issue of most mods being made for slightly different updates.

It scratches a very similar itch as legos and model trains but in vidya form so it's way way cheaper.

honestly good. too many live service games try to push out "content" to appease the 2 second attention span I'm gonna make this game my life for a year and then drop it crowd. This is especially bad in mmos and I wish devs would finally fricking realize it. I mean it's so bad we're getting re-re releases of 20 year old games and even those are going down the same path but the idiots on reddit demand something shiny every month or the game is dead. idiots

It's been a while, but I remember coming back from my long oil-expedition and treasure-seeking adventures to see a massive fricking crater from the reactor that went off because I forgot to disable the persistent chunk-loader thingy and all the coolant ran out.
