As most of you already know, there have been shipwrecks in the sea for a long time. As such, everything was revised there once. The next update is the cave update (+ mountains, archeology and maybe more, which we don't know yet).
Now the question is what comes next. If the design of the trees is revised, is the end changed like the Nether, … Or is it even possible to build ships?
The shipwrecks actually indicate that there could be something like that. You can trade ships with Villagern or craft (building it yourself would be bad in many ways). What would you think if a ship update came next? Then it would be a kind of piracy and allies are not bad. I mean, who says no to nice fights on the water ^^
The only thing known so far is that there's a kind of PVP update. New weapons, mobs, etc. Should be added. In general, I think the idea is pretty good.
So in 1.17 the cave system is changed, it goes even deeper than usual, there are new cave biomes, copper ore (crafting binoculars and lightning rods), a new strong opponent and a new system to generate mountains (looks better). But what happens after that, I didn't know anything about it.
Yes, I know about the 1.17 is almost everyone xD Thought the question was related to the 1.18 ^^
Yes also xD. I really want ships. Just the thought of how to fight extremely strong pirates or something with your friends on a ship makes me happy xD. There's almost a template for it with the ocean update. After all, only ships without an opponent are of little use. Keep a little Sea of Thieves moderate. Pillager as pirate ships that are the easiest to sink (Or just board. Or they board you xD), a kind of villager ship as a merchant ship or combat ship, islands full of pillagers and good loot, … Would be my dream. I've already thought about summarizing all my ideas and sending them to Minecraft xD
