Come watch their pitch, and how they made it

A lush river in the Minecraft River Update fan concept video by Disruptive Builds.

WhileMinecraftdevs Mojang aresplitting the Caves & Cliffs Update in two, one fan has been dreaming of a whole other update. A Minecraft builder known as “Disruptive Builds” has created a video demonstrating their concept for a hypothetical River Update, with new types of rivers, creeks, and waterfalls rolling across the land. As someone who knows rivers intimately (near-Biblically), I tell you: these are good rivers. Come watch their vid!

As the making-of after the initial trailer demonstrates, it is all fake. But it’s still nice.

I’d be well up for a Minecraft updating revitalising watercourses like this. The Lush Creek in particular looks very exciting to explore. Though as someone who does often swim in rivers, I would like to see more tight glens, linns, and other places rivers run through steep moss-lined cuts in the rock. I’m up for more drama and vertical contrast in Minecraft in general.

Disruptive Builds hasa YouTube playlist of other fictional update concepts, including a Coastal Update, Spooky Forest Update, Sky Update, and Structures Update. Some good daydreaming builds there. They’reon Instagramtoo.
