Ideas for Minecraft
Well, as of 1/3/11, Notch posted on his blog that he might be adding a water mob in the next week or so. He also wants to find a way to add paint. What else do you think there should be in Minecraft? Here are some of my things I want added:
The ability to make special kinds of arrows, including fire and exploding arrows (Yes, I know there's a mod for that)
The ability to make a gliding machine
The ability to turn certain mobs on and off and control their frequency
The ability to make a new spawn point
The ability to make obsidian tools (Yes, I know there's a mod for that too)
The ability to repair armor
What are yours? Discussify (Not my word)
Back. For now. Maybe.

Re: Ideas for Minecraft
I like all of them, but the new spawn point one seems a bit unfair; you could put it to your advantage in many unfair ways.

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

That would get you down to the bedrock if you placed a block at sea level. xP

Re: Ideas for Minecraft
There should be more mobs, like bears which would be neutral until you attack them.
Also, dragons would be nice. Like, you could tame them and ride them around :DDDD

Unless you mean making enemies more common for their items.

Re: Ideas for Minecraft
Oh, you meant mobs! I thought you just misspelled mod.

Peaceful is for people who can't play the game right

It wouldn't be there if it was cheating.
I just use it cause I don't want interruptions while making stuff not because I can't defeat them/survive,

good ideas, my set of ideas was this
I mainly think bicycles would be awesome for stunt courses and racing competitions
People that claim, "It doesn't fit with minecraft" have yet to imagine it in its square boxy form and how much it brings to the game.
Stuff like guns wouldn't ruin anything in my opinion, but I've seen many complaints about them.

Re: Ideas for Minecraft
I think guns wouldn't be so bad
Just so as they aren't really advanced

Make a gun.
Make some ammo.
Carry gun with ammo in selection area.
Left-click.
Boom.

That would be unfair too; if you're ever in danger (ie. surrounded by creepers), you could just 'teleport' away.

You can't teleport.

No! You couldn't be able to teleport at will, that's where you would go when you died, and you could only have one on the map at a time!

Re: Ideas for Minecraft
oh a few vague old ideas I had were to add lightning and electricity that could be stored in batteries, also add volcanoes, and pirate ships (ARRRRR!!) which would include a few spaces where you could add a block or multiple types of weaponry (ballista, cannon, so on...)
I'm sure you all aware, but there will be a big content update soon including a new underwater mob type, my guess is sharks because beforehand Notch was talking a lot about adding sharks

Re: Ideas for Minecraft
Dragons.
Saddles.
Block that is an entity like TNT but doesn't explode, still hurts on contact (rock firing cannons anyone?)
