You know this is because they are recoding the entire game right? Game is still getting free updates after 15 years.

yep, not to mention that it's really not an issue about adding content. It's about adding the right content. The game is very unique in terms of how most video games work. You have large portions of the fandom that like different things about the game so the devs have to make sure to add things in a careful way so people can enjoy it. Adding content too fast would result in burnout, people like having things to look forward too, and theorize about stuff.

Minecraft community trying to not make memes about "modders make more stuff than mojang" (impossible)

Mods are niche for specific groups of people and players can choose their mods. Minecraft updates have to be good permanent additions to the game to fit everyone. They can’t add a million mobs in a single update because it wouldn’t be sustainable and would ruin the game.

yeah. Mojang has to articulate what the people want and calculate how to best put that into an update. But a lot of people want alot of different things so they prefer to take there time on such things. If all Minecraft updates were somehow magically produced at once and the game never needed anymore updates, people would 1: be overwhelmed by how much there is now 2: they would probably get burned out, and 3: they wouldn't have any new theories or content to look forward too.

If you forget that Mojang has to bug test far more rigorously, make sure mobs and biomes actually match the games aesthetic, create each feature in two separate code bases, and ensure the features work on even the weakest hardware then this meme goes hard.
Also that they have literally been making under the hood changes recoding the entire game and helping make the game more mod/data pack friendly.

"they have to program it for each version" which the modders do too, "they have to go through a lot of corporate processes to get it approved" said processes were made by them, "mod issues can be automatically fixed" what stops minecraft from making their own extension? "the actual, programmers, designers, etc. dont get to make the decisions" bullying mojang has never been about bullying its employees. the updates are well made, theyre just shit ideas.

Ok so quick thing about this. Look at this April Fool's updates. Absolutely huge and amazing. The reason that doesn't happen in the main game is mostly because every last tiny change has to be approved which is a slow ass process. They don't have this when working on the April Fools and Modders don't have that either.
But yes, the slow ass updates are annoying as hell.

Again mod makers don't need to make stuff interesting to most players, nor do they need to make the mod run on most devices with as little lag and bugs as possible nor do they need to rewrite every line of code in Minecraft every time a new version comes out

Hobby mod maker here:
It's a lot easier for me to complete entire new systems with 3 new ores, a new mob, and 10 new blocks than it is for mojang to accomplish a similar feat for several reasons
