The amount of feature additions in the last 10 years has been enormous.

Is it possible you were playing an old "world" which doesn't have the latest features? Or were playing an older version (which is supported in the latest launcher)?

No, I played a fresh game. Latest version at the time (1.16.3 & 1.16.4). Checked a wiki whilst playing so to make sure I wasn't missing major new stuff.

I can't agree that the additions have been "enormous". Not for 10 years. And if you've seen one mineshaft or stronghold or underwater temple, you've seen them all. No variation.

There's of course something to be said about staying true to the purity of the gameplay experience (like, say, DOTA2, but the depth and replayability there is in strategy, not content), but that feels like the wrong approach to a game that's in a large part about exploring like Minecraft.
