Hot take - Mojang should stop adding new content and revisit pre-existing content

Minecraft is a 16 year old game, nearly 17, and it feels like it's still in a state where it's incomplete. The game itself is fine, but certain features, especially with more modern standards for feature quality and style seem to have been forgotten or are outdated. A few examples of this are Minecraft's progression, which (in my personal opinion) is way to short if you can beat the game in under 10 minutes,

the boss fights, with one being you shoot a hovering skeleton with no attack delay until it dies and the other you fight a dragon (which doesn't fit the modern art direction of Minecraft anymore sadly) which can be done with your bare fists or a dozen beds,

Structures like the Jungle Pyramid, Desert Temple, Stronghold and Nether Fortress, which are quite bare compared to the designs of villages and trial chambers,

Villagers being far to easy to exploit and get books, tools and armour from, defeating the point of mining for diamonds or iron,

The stupid "too expensive" error on anvils,

Being able to completely avoid night with beds, plus you get punished for not sleeping with phantoms

and.... drumroll please...

The End (surprise surprise). Listen, I swear I have a point

The End shouldn't have a whole set of blocks, a wood type, an armour set and enderlings from Minecraft Dungeons, but it should have *something* to make it less bland than it already is. Plants, different y axis' for the islands, I don't care, just make it slightly more visually appealing. Also, having a whole credits sequence play after playing for completing a 10 minutes job feels really undeserved imo. The progression of the game is treated like doing the dishes instead of something enjoyable and meaningful. Make the dragon fight harder perhaps.

But do you see what I'm getting at? These features shouldn't just be forgotten about for other, useless clutter like the sniffer, happy ghast, phantom, nautilus and armadillo, especially when some of them are crucial parts of the game that can hinder people's enjoyment of the game if not implemented to their full potential. Mojang should take some time to go back and rework some of the old features instead of adding a new item or marketable mob every 6 months.

It's been 16 years Mojang, I think your game deserves to be in much more of a finished state by now.
