with the current team of devs who’s ethos seems to be to never touch the already well established gameplay features there will never be a minecraft 2.0
the entire philosophy of development for that game would need to change for that to happen
If there ever is a “Minecraft 2.0,” they would absolutely continue developing Minecraft 1.xx in parallel.
Honestly, props to them. They could make a huge amount of money by just moving over to a 2.0 and forcing a billion people around the world to buy the new version (and you know those people would buy it), but they aren’t doing that.
Actually, Minecraft 26 comes out this year. They dropped the “1.” and bumped the sub-version from 21 to 26 to match the year. They’ve also changed the way the new second tier works to be related to the quarter-year.
26.1 is due next month.
So yeah, there’ll never be a Minecraft 2.0. The versioning no longer allows for it.
(This doesn’t rule out a game called “Minecraft II” with its own set of unrelated but identical version numbers. Minecraft II 36.1 drops in ten years. Maybe. But probably not.)
minecraft being on 1.21.11 (i think)

Minecraft recently changed its versioning scheme so the next release will be Minecraft 26.
Officially and under the hood it’s still 1.26, actually. At least on Bedrock.
well that’s a disappointment

You haven’t accounted for 3002.
Minecraft II is called Hytale
And here’s me thinking it was called Vintage Story.
I thought it was Veloren
You mean Valheim?
Veloren, it’s basically Hytale before Hytale
EDIT: It’s also open source
