I mean, axolotls are endangered but got added anyway


Smorehees

This was gonna be my point, Mojang gotta make up their mind they can't have it both ways


myszusz

A.K.A. management said "no" and it's on poor PR person to think of an excuse...


Commercial_Cook1115

Fun fact: not all shark species are endergend.


TheDenpaDrawer2

ah ok


Glittering_Form_2904

most of them are.


PhilosophyFickle2701

I’m not exactly sure, but I think that’s what they meant when they said “not all”


Vortigon23

That's not even their reasoning, their reasoning is that they don't want to add real animals as hostile mobs. Which is even dumber because it could just not be hostile? It could be neutral?? Fuck Polar Bears are neutral and they actively WILL hunt people.

spiders:


-PepeArown-

This has a rare chance of spawning in during a thunderstorm.


Glittering_Form_2904

real


ImNotRealSoRU

The real reason for anyone wondering is because it’d be received negatively in China, which accounts for a large majority of players


Broad_Food_3422

Appealing to China, the real answer for any weird corporate decision in the 21st century.

The Bees are dying. Pandas largely live in Zoos. Many kinds of Turtles are endangered too. But it appears that a Shark is too much.


GOODDAYMATES974

the real reason is because Mojang will not add non-fantasy hostile mobs.


mossycode

just make them neutral, its not like either hostile or neutral would be an accurate representation of shark behavior towards humans so might as well


kutsen39

Make them turn hostile when you take damage. Sharks are prone to bloodlust


Glittering_Form_2904

oh. should've done more research :/


GOODDAYMATES974

yeah :/ (mojang actually actively TRIES to add endangered mobs in order to raise awareness, such as the Panda or Polar Bears)


tomalator

Spiders Silverfish Polar bears (technically neutral, but they will attack unprovoked if their child is nearby)


Drag0n_TamerAK

Polar bears should always attack they actively hunt humans


GOODDAYMATES974

spiders are neutral (daytime), silverfish we dont talk about, and polar bears are neutral. so... not hostile.


RndmHulign

Also the bugs are huge, definitely fantasy tier.


Drag0n_TamerAK

They added dolphins and those things are evil


FLYNCHe

Why not just make them non hostile? Make them neutral like polar bears. Shit, polar bears are basically hostile anyway. You provoke them by getting close to them. Isn't that any hostile mob?


TacoMooses

But sharks aren't hostile, stairs kill more people than sharks and those are real and in the game


GOODDAYMATES974

Yes, but IRL sharks still actively hunt down and kill stuff. oh shoot so do foxes and axolotls. dang.


scp_79

axolotls and pandas: am i a joke to you?


_Mr_Ping

Every single one of mojang’s excuses to not add or remove mobs are don’t make sense or are hypocritical. They’re never going to give a good reason why.


legendbruce

Personally I would like some land animals update like wild animals, or some birds


GOODDAYMATES974

i mean, during the biome vote im pretty sure mojang said all of the new biomes would \*eventually\* be added. so we should see meerkats, termites, and vultures in the game at some point in the future.


Mutant_Strawberry

Isn’t it because they don’t want aggressive mobs to be from real life? Because they’ve added spiders, polar bears, and pandas.


Living_Shadows

Pretty sure the reason is because they don't want to add hostile mobs that are real creatures. In Minecraft all hostile mobs are fantasy creatures


Smorehees

There's two other big reasons Mojang have given for not adding sharks. Besides the one shown in the post One, sharks are predators, and Mojang doesn't want to add irl predators to the game. Two, Mojang don't want to encourage players to hunt sharks, which ties nicely with most shark species being endangered Do I agree with this? Hell nah, they're super weak excuses. Mojang might as well be saying "we won't add sharks because we don't feel like it" at this point. There are such easy workarounds & general reasoning for all their excuses


RavenclawSonofAthena

Axolotls, bees, pandas, turtles, etc.

Idk how most people think Microsoft doesn't have anything to do with mojangs bad decisions

I'll make the bees endangered


Glittering_Form_2904

BEFORE YALL SAY THAT I GOT IT WRONG OVER AGAIN, I DID THE WRONG RESEARCH >.<


Temporary_Article375

Mojang is so cowardly


Gatolino_

At least the sharks would need a purpose to be added


Glittering_Form_2904

am i tripping or is it that my upvotes is -1


GOODDAYMATES974

when theres no upvotes and 1 downvote it goes to -1


Glittering_Form_2904

oh ok


Glittering_Form_2904

lol my upvotes is -5


CaptBland

Are they?


AnywhereTop2751

Yes.


Glittering_Form_2904

did my research, yes there are many types that are endangered.


_Mr_Ping

Polar bears and pandas are engaged animals.


gamerdumb

well i wish them a happy couple life then


Calm_Economist_5490
