There are a lot of things I wish to see improved and added till the final game. Here are some suggestions:
- FIX THAT ANNOYING BLACK SCREEN CRASH. IT SUCKS!
- A tutorial and a Minecraft-pedia inside the game. I'am used to check up external pages when I really want to play a game in depth. However, a game should not expect that from the player. Help him, guide him and provide Information as needed. Civ 4 is a good example how to do it right.
- A Map and Minimap System. Although the Map system is going to be introduced with 1.6. I also want to have some kind of minimap to accurately gauge where I approximately am even if I do not have a map ready.
- A possibility to change the block-viewing distance in-game. Its much too low right now - even on far. I want to see my castle from the largest possible distance my computer supports and nothing less!
- A Jukebox that plays some set of custom mp3s from your harddrive or the server - would add a lot of atmosphere to some of your buildings. Note: It should be possible to set different jukeboxes to different sets of mp3s although that would probably be complicated as hell to program I really would like to have it.
- A possibility to move blocks in the game using redstone mechanisms. The possibilities here are endless.
- More furniture. If I build something awesome I want to properly furniture it. Different colored blocks and bookshelves just aren't enough. How about tables, chairs, shelves, an oven (yes an oven - not a furnace!) and other stuff that I can put up in my houses so that they look nice. Also some sort of redstone powered light source would be awesome - the torches tire me.
- Colored Glass
- An expensive resource detector. After a certain point, gathering ressources becomes a somewhat tedious chore. It would be nice to be able to speed up the process by introducing a ressource detector that could detect certain resources in a certain range.
- More weapons: How about adding guns? Must do huge damage and have a huge range but ammunition should be scarce. Why not use gunpowder for that - its already scarce enough and if you need it you would need to go and hunt creepers which would provide a bit of a challenge. Also on the list: Spears/Halberds. Huge range but degrade extremely fast.
- More Dungeons and an option to control their size and density when creating a map. Also Boss-Type monsters that spawn within dungeons and are harder to beat. Would add another layer of challenge and diversity to the game.
Also, I realize there's got be mods for all of this but I would really like to have that stuff already in vanilla - would save a lot of trouble.
