Any minecraft ideas?

[gjendemsjo]

So I was scouring the Internet, looking for some good forums containing minecraft ideas, but sufficient to say, I wasn't all that lucky. So instead I've decided to let the great minds of the escapist discuss their favorite ideas for one of my favorite games of all time. I'll start with a couple:

Guns: Another ranged weapon. It would also let the item gunpowder live up to it's name. Lets say that we can craft gunpowder to 4 bullets, which we can use to fire with a handgun. Maybe in later updates we can get different kinds of guns too.

Train: We could make a train which runs on coal, so that we don't need momentum in order to progress the minecart tracks. We could also attach minecarts to the train, though it would take more coal to continue then.

Decoration: Just some more useless stuff to decorate your house with, like bookshelfs and paintings. This one is open for a lot of ideas.

Self made paintings: Instead of updating the game with a whole bunch of different in game paintings, let us make our own. Give us a color pallet and 300 small pixels that needs to be filled up with these colors. We could make the paint out of dying colors.

I'll edit if I can come up with more ideas.

I wouldn't mind seeing some more mechanical stuff, such as a machine built out of many smaller components you need to build beforehand (like the powered minecart, two crafted items make it). These machines could require large amounts of iron and redstone etc and could automate some tasks e.g. sifting through gravel for flint or turning many logs/planks into planks/sticks

I would like to see some improvements to the mob roster at the very least. I think zombies with wood/stone pick axes would be cool. Make them a rare spawn though. Sharks and Mountain Lions also.

QUEST MOBS:
Then maybe add in some NPCs (extremely rare spawns) that have either went crazy and are now lunatics who will attack you on site. COuld be holding all kinds of weapons. Base this on the new achievement system so the game knows what you have found and what you have crafted. (Say if you haven't found any diamond you don't have to worry about a lunatic in diamond armor and diamond weapons showing up.

Another variation of the extremely rare NPC could be a female that you could "woo" with cake, cookies, and flowers. Once wooed, she would lay naked on your bed and make anything you want using the furnace. Just Kidding. She could act as a traveling treasure chest. (Right click will open her inventory) In addition, if you smack her or feed her something (take your pick) she will stay put. (think Wolf sit command)If she idle's long enough she will seek out an oven or crafting table to make stuff with the items she has on her. (Up to so many tiles away from her "stay" spot)

One more iteration of the rare NPC is actually an item that has a small chance of dropping off surface mobs (not livestock or wolves) and better chances in the Nether. It is an oil lamp "magic lamp" that if you equipt it and use it (right click) a Djinn appears. He will have a screen show up requesting something for the other world. It could be 5 stacks of dirt or 10 fishing poles or whatever. Just randomize it. If you return to him within 30 mins (full day and night cycle) with the goods, he will reward you with stuff. Could be one of the different types of armor, a stack of a resource, etc.

Another quester you could add in is someone running up to you in panic and once they are within 2 tiles of you a box pops up requesting something. Same thing as the genie but this one could send you mob hunting. (Kill 3 creepers in X amount of time)

You get the idea. I want questing and stuff to come in. I am tired of "kill it if it moves" mixed with "milk the cows and sheer the sheep" at your leisure. I would like being sidetracked from time to time.

one word. Trapdoor. Well maby its too but that.

People get CRAZY when talking about Minecraft Ideas. For example I was checking out the 1.5 patch update video on Mojang's Youtube page. In it they showed off how weather will work, and the comment section was just FULL of people suggesting ideas on how to add to the weather system.

One bloke was saying how, when Lightning hits a Sand block, it should instantly turn that block into glass.

My question: What is the fucking utility of that? You can't pick up glass. It'd just be a waste of resources to build that in.

If Notch was to take every Minecraft idea he gets and implement them into the game, Minecraft will Never, Ever, Ever, Ever, be released.

That being said...... Horses, Shields, Balloons (like those giant tourism balloons but with a coal-powered burner and sitting space for 4), Bigger boats for SMP, and portable light source.

This. All of my mob/griefer traps are nothing without a trapdoor to use.

Another idea is to have a block that, no matter what height you fall from, you never take fall damage, like a mattress or soft moss.

Someone didn't read the OP. He said new things to add to the game, like say a new mob that can fly.

 

[Zer_]

More furniture. Chairs, Tables and such. Expanding on the carpentry would work wonders.

 

[Quaxar]

Vertical redstone wires, a valve for water/lava, another kind of glass with the durability of obsidian and some kind of submarine so I don't have to die that often when building my underwater cities.

Minecraft is decidedly missing this:

[Vern5]

Big ships. Like Buildable. multiple-room Galleons with real physics and everything.

Oh look, the aether! [http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=211244] hmmm... It probaly isn't interesting anyways, I mean its just entire new world with all sorts of exotic fauna and floating whales!

 

[DEAD34345]

Uhhh... you do realize the train thing is already in there? It's called a powered mine-cart, and you make it by adding a furnace to a normal mine-cart. It works almost exactly like how you said.

As for additions, I'd say more enemies. Oh, and since they added beds and night-time is no longer a threat, I want some kind of daytime enemies. Hmm, maybe also enemies that can attack you in your homes, like an imp that can dig into your fortress, allowing other creatures in in the process.

ive said it once and ill say it again

Zipline's

Another idea is to have a block that, no matter what height you fall from, you never take fall damage, like a mattress or soft moss.

Pressure plate on top of TNT with a big hole underneath it. TNT activates, gravity takes effect on it, and the pressure plate breaks, not being on anything anymore.

Furniture for one thing but I've had an idea in mind for awhile now. Why not give us a 12x12 grid crafting station? This would mean more resources would be required but it would also give Notch a grid to design vehicles, complicated machinery like a drilling machine or even to make an airplane. There could be a new recipe for pavement using gravel and cobblestone and you could make a city with cars, an airport... Maybe there could be a way to construct bigger vehicles or flying machines and use a command console block to take it into third person.

Just my thoughts.

The ability to make fire/light, even if only temporarily, without needing to find coal. Start a new world and have a bad spawn point, as I have had recently, and you might spend 3-4 nights waiting in the dark, being able to do nothing because you can't see anything. Coal can be quizzically hard to find if you're unlucky.

Use wood to cook wood in a furnace and you get charcoal.
It does everything that coal does.

More health items. Every time I've needed health? Pigs cease to exist. Plenty of Cows, Chicken and sheep though...i'm so sure we make food out of those things...Either that or have health regenerate (if only really, really slowly)

Tried making bread? Grow your own wheat and you can carry stacks of it around with you along with a crafting table. 64 wheat and a crafting table makes 21 bread healing 2.5 hearts each, compared to the 2 pieces of pork that would take up the same amount of space.

A TUTORIAL - Self explanatory

The achievement system looks a bit like this. Punch tree -> get wood -> make crafting table etc. If its done right, it'll make a great tutorial so here's hoping its done right.
