Things I would add: 1- vultures They are birds that attack undead mobs (due to them being walking corpses) and players that are under 1/2 HP. Feeding them rotten flesh will tame them. As a tamed mob, they will help attack other mobs like a wolf, and can be equipped with any mob skull to do significantly more damage to said mob and scare them away. 2- wild west style bandit towns These would be pillager inhabited towns with a few new illagers: Bandit- throws small explosives at you Goldiger- can break blocks to get to you Bartenger- doesn't attack you directly, but throws lingering potions everywhere As for what they would drop, that will require more thought (also, I can only do so much on a comment) Maybe some other things but I'd have to think

The Minecraft overworld can EASILY become a way more interesting place, not necessarily by adding new mobs and structures but by adding ambience, after the nether update, the nether has offered a unique and fun experience while exploring it Imagine this happens to the overworld, each biome has different sounds playing in the background, different colored sky/fog, different particle effects, it would really bring the whole Minecraft world to life

My favorite fact about the badlands is that in Bedrock edition, eroded badlands can spawn passive mobs but it needs grass blocks for the mobs to spawn in so its possible to see passive mobs near the eroded badlands rivers with grass blocks on it.

Gold has quite a lot of uses tbh. Golden carrots and apples, netherite, beacon bases, powered rails, and most importantly piglin bartering

I think they could lean into the settler cowboy feel, maybe spawn plains with horses nearby, you can find old miner's camps where they panhandled rivers for gold, maybe find more pillager outposts built near the mines as they would have taken them over once the original people left. Also I would love to see terracotta variations for deep down, or have a totally new block that is the base of terracota mountains, like marble and granite

Also it is just nice to have gold ingots

Here's what I'd add to the badlands if I were a dev: 1. Vultures - as mentioned by another user, I'd go for the same stuff pretty much. 2. Reptiles, more spider types and scorpions - in the case of spider types, I'd add the spider that digs itself in the sand and waits for food. When making contact with the block the spider dug itself in, there's a 12.5% chance for it to bite you, resulting in you getting a dangerous level of poison effect, only to get a whithering effect as soon as the poison wears off at half a heart to kill you. Or make an entirely new poison effect called "Death Poison" which would work the same as a normal poison but can actually kill you, however the poison effect just shows up at first but grows stronger over time, and the stronger it grows the more likely you'll get damaged and the higher the damage until you hit 0 hearts. With the shards at point 6, you can also trade the shards for special brewed potion named "Antidote" to wear off the "Death Poison" effect. You may get the Nausea effect after consuming the antidote (it tastes terrible but at least it nullifies Death Poison and gives you a strong regeneration effect for 3 seconds to heal your lost hearts). 3. Some worms - perhaps a sandworm like you see in those fantasy movies/animes/games that have anything to do with a wasteland. 4. Bandit camps - these would be camps only being lived in by the bandits, whosoever just decides to trespass too close to it, will be tempted into giving your items away to live on, or if you flee from them, they'll raise hands and try to beat you up. 5. River villages - villages that would be in the vicinity of rivers or large water places, and add extra buildings that have something to do with water like the water mill for example, as well as a blacksmith that specialises specifically in gold tools to give you special gold tools that last longer than normal gold. 6. Shards - when digging through ore blocks inside of the badlands, there will be shards which have a 2.3% chance of dropping, these shards could be used to trade for new powerful golden tools that will be found in the villages in the biome, however when spotted by the bandits when you hold a shard, the bandits would trade with you blocks you usually don't get from trading. And a new item called "Fool's Gold" which can be traded from bandits and used to 'enhance' (not enchant mind you) the base stats of Iron equipment close to diamond level equipment; must be used with the smithing table to increase the base stats though. While we're at shards, why not add suspicious red sand where you get a greater chance at getting the shards instead of getting them through mining ores. 7. Abandoned vaults - abandoned vaults that are filled with loot, a low chance for powerful loot to be generated, filled mostly with golden stuff, more specifically golden carrots/apples/used equipment. The powerful loot to be enhanced iron tools with efficiency/unbreaking/fortune 3(1 for fortune), either 1 of 3, or a combo (whether it is 2/3 or all 3 of them combined). As well as some crops and grass/dirt blocks.

There's actually an effect exclusive to Bedrock Edition called "Deadly Poison" which is just that, poison that kills you.

Mesas were all the rage back in the day. Before concrete was added (and wool retextured), hardened clay was the only good-looking coloured block. If you look back at SMPs made around that time, people were levelling entire mesa biomes to get all the clay. Now, there's just so many more options that brighter colours tend to be selected over the red-tinged terracotta.

It's really not fair that the Winner Biome got added to Minecraft and a little later the 3rd place Loser got added aswell. We should've gotten Mesa/Badlands first, since it was 2nd, don't you guys think?

Badlands/Mesa has always been my favorite biome for years and i hope it gets more to it than what was stated in the badland biome vote. I have my suggestions on jow to improve it. 1: Red Cedar Tree for the badlands to replace the ugly oak trees and give it a unique wood type since one of the reaons why youd want to explore a biome is the trees itself and replaces the dark oak mineshafts. 2: More layers of red sand and red sandstone. Rn its hard ro farm red sand to the point that i have to use a sand dupe just to get enough materials. It also hides the ugly exposed terracotta. 3: Definitely a Badlands Temple. Theres already enough building blocks for this.

One detail you may have forgotten is 1.18. The improved terrain escaled the mesa's beauty tenfold in my opinion. The update gave way for gorgeous vallies, volcano type mountains, and large cave entrances in the biome.

Great video! 2016 doesn't seem like all that long ago, but at the same time it's crazy that it's been 8 years! I'm hoping that the next update enables Mojang to work on the mesa/badlands, because put into that context it's time for the biome to get updated. That's not to discredit the work that Mojang has done including extending world height both above and below the previous limits, but is just wishful thinking. The same goes for some of the mobs that lost the mob vote, bundles, and the birch forest concept art that didn't end up making it into the game. It's been interesting watching the game evolve over time since I started playing in 2012; while I don't love every change (like no longer getting enchanted books from fishing in a puddle), I'm excited to see what gets added in the future.

Idk. Why have they “forgotten” the desert, and savanna? They were part of the biome vote, they will come it’s just a matter of when. New cactus, vultures, and tumble weeds. It’s not forgotten it’s just not as popular so it lost its vote. As for why mojang hasn’t added them yet. Idk and I think it’s still the desert update didn’t come with 1.20. But if it’s in their back log it’s just not forgotten. It’s not the mob vote biomes aren’t gone forever, they just are on the back burner But those mushroom islands? Only change is the very rare spawn on a brown cow. Most people get one by striking it with lightning, That’s it. That’s the only change. Not even part of a biome vote. I’d argue it’s more forgotten. I mean if we wanna talk update to biomes. Plains biomes have gotten… the odd tree here and there? Deserts got… suspicious sand in wells. Jungles I’ve gotten parrots, and lost cats. But at least bamboo. The entirety of the ends been mostly untouched since 1.9 (yes Shulker boxes where added in 1.11) Point is. I don’t think mesa is the only “forgotten” place in the game. It’s actually been put to a vote to be updated. Hell I’d argue nether forts are more forgotten. I don’t even remember their last change. Horse armour being added to the loot tables? Poor birch forests

2:47 powered redstone rails, beacon podiums, golden carrots and apples, netherite, armor trims, decoration. But yes, it's much better to make huge zombie piglin gold farm above bedrock in nether than mining this gold in overworld even in badlands biome.

Cool ideas for the Badlands : 1 - make outposts spawn more there (to simulate "bad guys" like in an old west movie) 2 - make a type of village made of dark oak and with wagons like in the "organ trail" (the blacksmith could also be a bank) 3 - the vultures (with the ideas of @yeetuszilla1663 ) 4 - (adding on to 2) I know minecraft wont do this but maybe the pillagers from the outposts could have glocks or explosives like from an old west movie again. (reply with more ideas and ill add them up here)

I would like to see lava river/lake badlands with similar vibe to spyro 2 Skelos Badlands. Just some lava source blocks and lava pools and especially lava canyons would make it very unique. I would love to have a easier source of gunpowder so some explosive/shooting mob would be funky. Like bandit illager shooting firework rockets. Their hideouts would have large stashes of TNT/gunpowder. They would spawn like witch huts. Some of the bandits should ride horses too.

It would be interesting to see an update based on the wild west. With new villages based on the western, old timey villages and saloons. With pillager bandits and sheriffs and their deputies. We could even get new items to round out the whole aesthetic.

I only made use of badlands once when building a huge sandstone temple, but would definitely like it getting a revamp! It could use some unique structures like (abandoned?) mining towns or something like the Nazca lines with treasure underneath (and maybe if they add vultures they could finally get rid of phantoms lol)

It’s funny you mentioning that mesas seem to spawn near jungles because I have a shared world with my friends where spawn is in the middle of a large mesa with desert on one side and jungle on the other; and when I went out to try to find a camel I ended up traveling through a narrow jungle next to another mesa before getting new desert chunks.

My first thought on players living in the badlands was Smallishbeans in season one of Empires. I'll have to check out Mystic Mesa. Thanks for giving me a new series to watch! XD

I can’t believe Minecraft’s official twitter account actually tweeted “we *don’t* *care* about this biome anymore, *sorry* ” that really happened!

I like the badlands from a resource gathering standpoint- stuff you have a hard time getting elsewhere. I do wish red sandstone was used more, (is it even used at all as a natural block?) as a underlayer for red sand like sand stone is used under regular sand. Gathering 48 shulkerboxes of red sand just for 12 of red sandstone was a grind. I would like to see some sort of structure- ghost town done in a western style or something like it. Salt flats? Salt? Fossil beds? a mini cacti that pokes you. There are a lot of opportunities for small changes that could do a lot for making the badlands more intriguing.

solid video, wish they would do more to this beautiful biome

This is such a cool video!

3 things to add, (and others mentioned it to): 1- after 1.16 gold became really important and looked for, essentially for piglings trading. 2- Mojang in the latest snapshots anounced new wolf variants, one of them is specific to the badlands ; "stripped wolf", which is inspired by stripped hyenas that live in many dry hot regions in Africa and Asia. 3- From personal experience, finding a mesa biome is soo hype, it is next level conpared to any other biome, especially if it is survival. Also, I would not return to base if I don't collect my heart content of dyed terracota and red sand.

Luckily 1.21 brings some hope to me. Not only the Armadillo that Also spawns on the Badlands,but Also the New Badlands Wolf Variant (which i think is based off of a species of hyena or and Aardwolf)

This video was awesome! I’m sure your channel will take off at some point.

I love playing on servers and making bases in badlands biomes to make people so bewildered

Bro pretty good vid if it's your first man, keep going

Mesas were always nice to find to get a bunch of hardened clay if you needed a lot of colored blocks, but they lost a lot of relevance when they added concrete, which is basically stained clay but actually good.

Great video, keep up the effort ❤

Another unique thing about the Mesa/Badlands is the terracotta. Also I have a strange list of top three favorite biome which is 5:Stony peaks 4:Mesa/Badlands 3:Warped Forest 2:Lush Cave 1:Jungles (Especially by oceans or lakes)

loved this video dood, U BETTER MAKE MORE

A villiage and a Big abandoned villiage and small loot houses.

i remember making a mesa house into a mountain with my sister back in 2014. 10 years ago. we made tunnels and rooms like little ants into the clay. we would take the clay and dye it with colors to make the rooms. and the natural stripey look of the mountains made it even more beautifull. i still love terracotta to this day.

It would be a cool idea for the vulture to attack phantoms for you after taming it with the cactus plant

The other day I started a save and spawned in a badlands biome, I hadn’t seen one in years and it feels the exact same, it’s a biome I’ve probably only ever encountered less then ten times and it’s quite unique but it’s so empty that I would never settle there even if I may want to.

I actually have a clock on my hot keys so that I can always see what time it is. It's especially useful if you are digging underground and want to sleep at the right time to avoid a bunch of mobs spawning on the overworld.

I think the biome mods like oh the biomes you’ll go or biome bundle reworked these so well, especially when they add biomes like the “Yellowstone” looking biomes!

I still remember my first long term survival world all the way back into beta 1.8.1 i had a farm a massive two story house with absolutely zero decoration with a rail system connecting it to my old base i eventually went into a cave got a lot of diamonds got lost in there and then sometime later the laptop got fried. i still think of that original survival world, wish I could experience minecraft like that again

My first ever survival world started in a mesa biome. Since it was my first survival experience, I was incredibly confused. I always associate one's first ever night with punching a hole in the side of a mesa mountain with your fists and waiting there, because that's what I did

I recentl, startes a server with my friends and we have our base in the bad lands. And I just love how our terraforming and building standa out compared to the biome. Its truly awesome. We settles next to a big river/lagune and I love it. You can import trees but you cant import terracotta.

I think the mesa biome would be the perfect place to Introduce a new structure from cartographer for you to find. Some ideas there would be a Ghost town like in western movies or an abandoned mineshaft. Or Cities inside walls

I made a oasis + cave base in this biome which came out really good, but it needs the shown off features in biome vote

This gives me those FitMC vibes. Awesome

I have one of these (eroded variant) near the spawn in my current world. Good source of Gold (for apples, powered rails, and decoration, since I'm not going to the nether any time soon), especially with my fortune 3 pickaxe, and it makes a good landmark. Especially since it's near a pillager tower.

Mesa saves me in UHC early game. If you never played UHC as a world, I reccommend STRONGLY.

I think the reason the mesa biome didn't win the vote was because of how unique it is. Like mountains before their update were lackluster and swamps before theirs were just soggy plains but the mesas were eye-catching and a great place when you needed decoration. That being said I do really want to see it get an update

As someone that currently lives in the badlands in my world, I would love a big update

1:03.... Wha... was that a comment from B-Dubs? From back in 2013??? Holy cow that's cool! Also I still love the Mesa Biome! Mesa, Jungle and the Warm Ocean are my absolute favorites!

Idk about you guys, but I always used Badlands for emeralds. Cause you can trade gold ingots to a cleric for emeralds. I find them super useful.

What if they made Mesa biomes even more hostile, to the extent where it made them fun and not just annoying. Going in to fight special mobs that only spawn there and drop good loot but are frustratingly difficult. Also, a "heatstroke" effect that makes you slow and weak, but you can break special cacti to get "cactus water" and collect it in bottles, which then remove the heatstroke effect for a period of time.

To be honest though, Badlands are kinda already perfect. Just a barren, beautiful rock formation, with western inspired goldmines. Sometimes all you need is a nice, inspiring vista. Lots of biomes are like that and they're fine in spite of that. If it needs anything though, it's a unique village type so you can start off your cowboy town with sheriffs and canteens. Cacti, tumbleweed and vultures would be nice but I really want the cowboy movie town

Ghost Towns on badlands? Like it's perfect with all that unhabitable feel of the biome. Vultures are a great idea. And some kind of new enemy/friendly mob like uuuh ghost villager. On top of that add some kind of unknown abandoned structure that no one from mojang is gonna mention. Update done. New form of village with interesting and unusual trading items that has kinda eerie feel and unknown structure that would raise more questions. The items used to trade with villagers could not even be in the game, just pngs in the trading menu. Then after 1/2 - 1 year add these items to the new structure without mentioning anything about it. edt. Make the structure spawn just like the thing with end portal, but without any way to navigate to it. Make it look like something that shouldn't be in the game

It feels like the developers are just adding random updates that they put into certain places, rather than focusing on "What's missing?", the badlands has a lot of potential with the pillagers and ambiance

the biggest thing i'd love to see added to the badlands biome is revamped terrain generation maybe based similarly off of the terrain of the colorado plateau in southwest america. the amount of beautiful scenery and interesting survival features that could be added JUST with that kind of terrain generation could be revolutionary for the game. only problem i can immediately think of is coding terrain to generate with canyons and eroded outcroppings like you would see in the colorado plateau, as that stuff isn't as simple as how the new mountains look

One thing that wasn't mentioned in this video is that 1.18 did technically update the badlands. With the new terrain revamp badlands can have some new really impressive and beautiful mountains. Even if it's not really a huge new and groundbreaking feature, it made the badlands an even cooler looking biome.

Honnestly my favorite biome, so thank you

"what is so unique about it" really... Seriously... It is a biome that looks so different from everything else! It can definitely use an update tho and my suggestions would be: -Everything mojang showed -sandstorm (for usual desert too) -Palo Verde tree -western style villages - brownstone as surface boulders or hills so it is easier to obtain stone tools (normal desert too) -new variant of deserts as red desert, xeric shrubland and outback (red sand version of it)

They should honestly add more village variants. Like a western village to the badlands for instance.

There are so many things they could do -Vultures, like cats to creepers or dogs to skeletons, could be tamed to scare away zombies, since they feed on carcasses -A "ghost town" type village, which is like an abandoned village but Western-themed and with unique loot -Also more common trail ruins, and often less buried than in other biomes (since trail ruins are mainly built off of terracota) -Dried out rivers covered in the unique "Cracked Mud" block -Having cows and horses spawn more frequently to reflect the cowboy theming, with mesa horses being faster than in other biomes

Maybe also having any dungeons or strongholds spawning in that area having guaranteed multiple eyes of ender, regen crystals from the Ender Dragon boss, glowstone and obsidian in chests: a _very_ loose reference to Half Life as it’s the in the “Mesa”biome, 2 of those are for portal building and the other 2 are the closest to Xen Crystals in location & appearance (function too in the regen gemstones’ case).

I will say that I've never forgotten about this biome and I visit regularly whenever I can because I'm constantly building stuff that requires terracotta

my issue with the badlands is that although the banded rocks can be beautiful, from a top-down perspective it's just a sea of red. there is nothing on the surface but sand and shrubs. I would like to see the layered geology approach applied to other biomes rather than be reserved for the mesa. imagine finding your way through a forest, only to find a cliff face showing all those colors as it rises above the canopy. that would be cool. maybe have red sand in the lower plateaus, result of weathering. fill the canyons with water, fertile soil, debris and vegetation! give the highlands grass and wildlife, environments do not only change horizontally, but vertically! it could be a wonderful painted landscape, with the right parameters.

I honestly think the mushroom biome is more forgotten, at least in terms of updates. It's been in the game since 2011 and has never had any revamp or major content added to it since, all they added was a brown mooshroom and thats it. Nothing to the biome itself except for minor tweaks to its generation.

A nice cowpoke village would be a nice touch to the badlands,,,, maybe make them a bit harder to find; but yes, tumbleweeds and a new cacti would be cool including a vulture for a new mob.

I think the perfect Mesa biome would take inspirations from Utah and Arizona. Canyons splitting 250 block heigh mountains apart. Valleys with peaks. Naturally spawning arches and spires (Bryce). A biome shaped by erosion. Stone should be replaced up to deepslate with terracotta and ores should get variants for the biome. Perhaps even slate could get a new variant. There could be ruins hidden in mountain cliffs. Perhaps some canyons could have an oasis in it similar to Zion. If only there'd be a way to introduce flash floods.

After nearly 10 Years playing Minecraft on PC, I have never found a jungle-temple.

You know what, the desert never has rain even when the other biomes have rain. Perhaps the badlands could have an aurora borealis in the night sky and random space debris crash sites.

it would be really cool if you could find black mesa in a mesa biome and cause a resonance cascade

Well at least they gave the badlands some spotlight in the armored paws release video they put on the channel

I love the colors of the mesa, I just wish I could have proper green foliage there

Ngl, it’d be cool to see a structure similar to the ruins of other biomes specifically for the mesa

Another way they can make us go to the Badlands biome is by creating a Western village there, cuz I can't remember how many times I wanted to build a western-style town in a badlands biome! So if there was a high chance for 1 to spawn there that would pique my interest enough to go find one.
