“Ridiculous” new Minecraft update is breaking the game like never before

Minecraft’s latest snapshot update has added additional physics to Minecarts, resulting in players creating cannons and other clever contraptions to launch creatures into space, causing the game to glitch.

The potential of Minecraft is boundless, as it is a game that is solely restricted by your own imagination. Its constantly evolving world offers infinite opportunities for creation, construction, and discovery.

Additionally, Mojang, the developers, are continuously enhancing the game by introducing fresh blocks, mobs, and biomes through updates known as snapshots.

The latest Minecraft snapshot has been released to players, and it has caused considerable disruption to the game, leading many to describe it as “unreasonable”.

Minecraft’s latest snapshot, 24w33a, introduced a plethora of new features to the game. Among these additions was a quality-of-life improvement for Minecarts, with the developers aiming to make them a more attractive option for players in the late-game compared to other methods of travel.

It was only natural that players eagerly jumped at the opportunity to try out the new cart features. Some were pleasantly surprised to find that they could utilize powered rails to greatly increase the speed of a Minecart, and even eventually catapult the unfortunate passenger inside.

Some players have already started exploring the potential of this new technology, creating TNT cannons and even launching unfortunate llamas into the sunset.

Nevertheless, the most amusing accomplishment using the new function is undoubtedly banishing the Ender Dragon, the toughest boss in the game, into the depths – never to be encountered again.

This is only a preview of the upcoming changes, so there is a possibility that Mojang will reverse it in order to prevent more llamas from being launched into the air.

The developers have always encouraged player creativity, which could lead to the emergence of a new meta involving flying Minecarts.
