Almost every year, Mojang releases at least one Minecraft update, adding several new features to the base vanilla game. Though multiple updates have been released in a year previously, the developer has now gone to one per year cycle. However, this has created a debate amongst its vast community.
Recently, a Redditor by the name of 'valoripeter,' posted a picture of the last four major updates Minecraft has received and asked whether the community is satisfied with the current pace of the update cycle or wants it to be less frequent.
Fewer updates will automatically mean Mojang will be able to introduce much more to the game in one go and add ample details to each feature. However, frequent updates will ensure players keep getting something new every year.

Users debate about Minecraft update's frequency
The Reddit post received more than four thousand upvotes within a day and nearly seven hundred comments. People flooded the post and talked at length about the update situation for the game.
Many people discussed how Mojang should focus more on improving and adding new features to existing biomes, mobs, blocks, items, and structures rather than adding brand-new ones.
Furthermore, they also discussed how old features of the game felt extremely interconnected compared to new content that gets released.
While some players were satisfied with one update a year while missing when Mojang used to release multiple updates a year, others were inclined towards fewer updates with more quality content.
Even though Mojang has reduced the frequency of updates since it was first released in 2011, most people want Mojang to slow it down even more but make sure each update comes with detailed and useful features that are interconnected to existing ones in Minecraft.
A few of them also suggested that Mojang should not chase a deadline date to release updates and take their time to develop features. They pointed towards the caves and cliffs update and how it was essentially separated into three different parts, with some features being pushed all the way to the 1.19 Wild update.
Overall, there were many discussions in the Minecraft Reddit space as to how Mojang should approach update cycles for the popular sandbox title. The post continues to get views and upvotes.
As of now, Mojang has announced the 1.21 update and will continue to reveal more features as they finish developing them. Though they have not given any release window, there is a high chance it could be released in June, like several previous updates.
