The video discusses 10 features that will likely never be added to Minecraft, based on the game's design principles and development history. Here's a concise summary of the top 5:
1. **Baby Pillagers**: Minecraft doesn't want players to harm child mobs, as it goes against the game's principles.
2. **Mermaids**: Mermaids were considered, but their hypnotizing abilities would make gameplay unbalanced.
3. **Poison Swords**: Adding poison swords would make throwing potions less meaningful.
4. **Invisible Zombies**: Minecraft has a policy of ensuring players have control over mobs; invisible zombies would make gameplay too difficult.
5. **Backpacks**: Minecraft has alternatives like chests and the player's inventory, making backpacks unnecessary.
The video also discusses other features that are unlikely to be added, including:
* Realistic animations (e.g., better crouching animations)
* Cars or vehicles (Minecraft prefers unique transportation methods like pigs with carrots)
* More types of golems (due to mineral functionality and balance issues)
* Realistic hit boxes (would be too complex and difficult to program)
* Colossal-sized mobs (collision and destruction issues)
These features are unlikely to be added due to gameplay balance, design principles, and technical limitations.
Here are the key facts from the text:
1. In Minecraft, baby villagers are present in villages, but baby looters are not.
2. Minecraft does not want players to be able to attack children or young mobs.
3. Baby zombies are an exception, as they are already considered dead.
4. Minecraft has a policy against implementing features that would make the game too difficult for players to control.
5. In Minecraft, spiders can have potion effects, such as speed, regeneration, and invisibility.
6. Invisible spiders are more difficult to deal with because they are hard to spot, but their glowing eyes make them slightly visible.
7. Zombies and other mobs will not be made invisible in the game.
8. Minecraft has a feedback system where players can suggest new features, but some features, like mermaids, will not be implemented due to game principles.
9. Mermaids are not included in Minecraft because they would require mind control mechanics that go against the game's principles.
10. Poison swords will not be implemented in Minecraft because they would make throwing potions less meaningful.
11. Minecraft will not have realistic animations because the developers want to maintain the game's simplicity.
12. In Minecraft, horses were originally supposed to have more realistic animations, but this idea was discarded.
13. Players will not be able to create golems using minerals like diamond or gold because these minerals already have too many functions in the game.
14. Copper is the only mineral that could potentially be used to create a golem in the future.
15. Minecraft will not have realistic hit boxes because it would be too difficult to program and would cause the game to collapse in calculations.
16. Cars will not be implemented in Minecraft because they would not fit with the game's medieval setting and would be too modern.
17. Boats are the only type of vehicle that can be used in Minecraft.
18. In Minecraft, mobs will not be made too large or colossal because it would cause collision issues and make the game difficult to play.
