what was your favorite minecraft update?

Ooo now that's a fun question and I'm not sure how to answer it.
How much it made me play more?
Probably 1.13 Aquatic as my second 1.13 build was the first I "finished" the game with summoning and killing the Wither, killing the new Elder Guardian, killing the Ender Dragon, exploring the End and getting my first Elytra! I don't deal with heights well and when playing games I'm LOCKED IN, so that was a very sweaty fingers experience. My build was simple but fun and I did at least one of all the new game mechanics.
Honorable mention to 1.18 Caves and Cliffs Part II as the completely changed world generation was something I was exploring using mods at the time so getting back into vanilla with the new generation was fun, though the current ore generation is still not my fave even with more recent rebalances making things better
How much of the new stuff did I do?
Probably 1.12 World Of Color but that's almost cheating as it was my first update as I started playing with 1.11.2. I made a vertical house at the far end of flat rolling plains and the side of the house was a mural of the sky made out of light blue, white, and various gray Concrete. From afar it blended into the sky with the whites and grays making up blocky MC clouds.
Hon mention to 1.13 Aquatic as I played the Java betas for the first time and made a Live Coral house with water in the walls to keep them alive. Fun design challenge. Followup play was the one mentioned above.
How much it changed how I play?
1.14 Village and Pillage as Villager Breeding is core to how I play the game and that changed everything. I was a very annoyed blockhead and refused to play until I worked out a strategy and saw how it could be abused even more than the older strats.
Hon mention to 1.18 Caves and Cliffs Part II for ore generation changes which are better and worse. I feel I'm worse at finding Diamonds now but instead I just trade for Diamond Armor, Tools, and sometimes Weapons (see above!). And these are an infinite source so in many ways is better.
Overall.
Hm. What "new" things do I use and enjoy the most? 1.13 Aquatic wins. I simply love living by the ocean, plundering ships, digging up treasure, seeing all the fish variations, Coral, Turtles, Sea Pickles, building Conduits and small underwater temples, the added OSTs (sooo good).
and. but.
yeah.
1.13 also introduced the worst thing into the game until it's worstosity was beaten in worstedness by the hideously awful Warden: The Drowned with the Trident.

for me 1.13 introduced the worst thing into the game that's still the worst, the PHANTOM
but yeah, those are all pretty good updates, I also liked 1.21 and 1.9

Ya know, I'm such a fraidy cat about night time that getting and using a bed is core to my gameplay so I almost never see phantoms. Only time I see 'em is if I spend too much time underground on the rare time I find a really good open cave system and I've had bad luck with those recently. I'm never in the Nether long enough for phantoms to spawn afterwards. However I've also gotten the knack of fending them off (watch where they come down and run towards them as they twirl around and SWING that Axe/Sword!) and I particularly like the sound of them taking a bite so I them taking a munch every now and then is OK.

what is the rarest thing you've ever gotten in any video game?
Also, if you had to make a tier list for each update, what would it look like?

If you had a superpower, what would it be and why?
also, would you be a hero or a villain?

OK okokok time for answers in no particular order though the tier list will probably wait a bit tho I wanna make it.
But every time I dance like a little flower in the everlasting shower of XP after killing the Ender Dragon, maybe those greenish yellow drops of enchantment gold are wiping the tiniest tear from my fac— nooo... no that's just sweat, never mind.
Four are not concerned by you and will continue doing what they want. If they're interested, they'll follow you. If they follow you, they need not to be comfortable with this so you gotta scare them away which is still possible with a bright hoodie and making noise.
I have not seen five yet, not sure how that count goes.
However what would I like to play on stage? Villain for absolutely sure and I already have my villain chosen. Von Rothbart from Swan Lake is just a nasty piece of work and his entire aim is to psychologically tease, tempt, and torture the lead and *Spoilers* (not spoilering), in the REAL ending, not the smarmy modern gag-inducing pseudo-happy ending, the main characters die with no recourse or happy-in-the-afterlife sugarcoating. And there is Von Rothbart laughing his feathers off, retreating back into the woods. Sheer perfection.
To be on stage fading into the woods in evil victory with a howling mad audience throwing stuff at the stage in frustration, that is the stuff of dreams. You made them FEEL something VISCERAL. Utter perfection.
Farmer Bobbi is a better version of me with more confidence, but all her issues and personality weirdnesses are mine. You write what you know.
I have a weird barrier when it comes to games so I don't get all that emotional because the story is so dictated. I found the inevitability of Horizon Zero Dawn to be crushing. I found the beginning parts of the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot to be extremely visceral as that was my introduction to modern gaming after many years away. Games like Control are... distant, even though I liked it a lot and that game just nails the mood. Even Stardew is somewhat superficial but it has the best framework to hang your own headcanon on, hence why I write about it on occasion.

Being stalked by coyotes. Coyotes are really good at counting. One will run away. Two will trot away. Three will eyeball you and not move if you don't threaten them. They'll scatter if you approach. Four.

I would have the ability to make people understand rational thought, not completely unlike Wonder Woman's lasso or whatever MacGuffin it is. Sorry I gotta go all practical. But like a real superpower? Probably super strength though of course I'd charge by the minute for my services, ain't nobody getting that for free from me! Does that make me a villain?!?
