Minecraft 2 is eagerly awaited by many fans. However, a release date, let alone content, has unfortunately not been confirmed at the moment. There are already several titles.
Minecraft 2: Announcement was a nasty April Fool’s joke
Minecraft is a game that has achieved incredible success. Many fans are wondering whether there will ever be a Minecraft 2. Confirmation of a sequel would certainly put the community in a celebratory mood. But there are no official (and serious) statements on the matter yet. (As of September 2024)
- With more than 100 million players, Minecraft is one of the most popular PC and console games ever. A lack of success will not stand in the way of Minecraft 2.
- The responsible Mojang Studios have nothing against new titles, as the already released Minecraft Dungeons, Minecraft Legends and the rather unfortunate Minecraft Earth show.
- In fact, Minecraft 2 was announced by the developers several years ago. Unfortunately, it was one of the infamous April Fools' jokes by those responsible.
- In 2013, the Minecraft developer announced that a new game titled Minecraft 2.0 was in development, which would take the gaming experience to a new level. This announcement was even accompanied by trailers and announcement videos from high-profile YouTubers such as Docm77 and Keralis.
- Minecraft 2.0 was “only” announced as a major update, but according to the developers it was supposed to contain funny new features like overfeeding sheep or a pink wither. But these new features will never be available because it was a nasty April Fool's joke.
Ways to optimize Minecraft 2
Even though Minecraft 2.0 was an April Fool's joke, it cannot be completely ruled out that there will be a sequel to the original Minecraft. If there is ever a Minecraft 2, the developers would have to think carefully about what new content they offer fans.
- Because Minecraft receives a lot of new content with the annual updates that excites the community. Nevertheless, there are some possibilities how Minecraft could appear in a second new version.
- Updated user interface: Minecraft scores with a simple user interface. This could be optimized by, for example, implementing more items and options in the menus. Other ideas have already appeared in popular Minecraft mods, such as the ability to see what is in a chest with a mouse movement.
- Smaller blocks: The standard Minecraft blocks are currently 16 by 16 pixels in size. The community could be provided with smaller blocks, for example 1 by 1 or 5 by 5 pixels in size. This would allow objects and buildings to be built in even greater detail.
- More inventory: Although new blocks are regularly added to the creativity inventory, there is always room for improvement. For example, you can build an armchair out of wooden boards and signs, but it would be much easier if furniture such as chairs or armchairs were simply part of the Minecraft inventory.
- Revised graphics: The developers could tweak the graphics – close to the original, but “tweaked” with even more impressive graphics.
