There are many unique and attractive qualities of Minecraft which appeal to a wide playerbase, from newbies to veteran fans, due to its initial simplicity and calmness to its hidden complexity and inferred lore. Although many Minecraft fallout continues to emerge Minecraft: Dungeons see you next Minecraft: Legendsit’s the original Minecraft which continues to be the best-selling game of all time. One of the main reasons this game remains a mainstay in most gamers’ repertoire of favorite games is the ever-expanding range of biomes, creatures, resources, and more.
An addition to from Minecraft The long overdue expansive list is that of hackers. They take on their full meaning when we consider certain elements of Minecraft this point towards their existence, like buried treasure, and implementing pirates into the game would actually be quite straightforward due to much of the content already available. Beyond that, pirates would add versatility and variety to certain biomes and inspire players to explore the outside world more openly.
How Hackers Might Work
To some extent, pirates should always have been part of Minecraft. The mere fact that there are frequent shipwrecks to loot and buried treasure maps indicates that someone was sailing the seas, so the introduction of pirates may help explain the abundance of shipwrecks, opposing pirates sinking each other. Mojang could treat hackers as looters, making them permanently hostile. Alternatively, they could take inspiration from Piglins, being neutral mobs that attack players who open chests or fulfill other special conditions.
Structures generated for pirates would likely include fully formed pirate ships, loosely modeled after established shipwrecks, and would reproduce in Minecraft ocean and beach biomes, perhaps with increased frequency as the player moves further away from land. While these boats would likely not move, Mojang could use chains and an anvil to make the anchored motionless boats appear. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time that certain blocks or elements have been used in inventive ways to achieve a certain look.
Additionally, a significant number of items and monsters could be associated with pirates. Since parrots already exist and are frequently associated with pirates, seagulls could be the next addition to ocean and beach biome mobs and could help orient players to land or ships. Furthermore, Minecraft items such as spyglasses and chests fit the pirate aesthetic, but other items could be added to expand on the concept. Cannons and cannonballs, for example, would be useful to both hostile pirates and players.
Will Minecraft add pirates?
If players are desperately looking for pirates Minecraft, then there are actually mods available to achieve this, but currently pirates are not known as planned additions to the base game. However, that doesn’t mean Mojang won’t consider adding them. New content is always being added to Minecraft, and sometimes fans can influence Mojang’s plans, as in Minecraft popular vote.
Concepts that were originally mods are now officially part of Minecraft, which means that if there was enough interest in hackers, it might motivate Mojang to seriously consider adding them. An example of this comes from Parrots themselves, which first appeared as a mod before being implemented in the main game. If parrots can be added, so can pirates. The only real barriers to adding hackers would be how much effort Mojang is willing to put into incorporating hackers into the game and whether hackers are a more interesting addition to the game than other future features.
Minecraft is now available for Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
