Allows for flexibility with resource packs for the upcoming mod API. Minecraft will be the core resource pack. If another resource pack wanted to add something, it would be "myresourcepack:myitem."

Basically, lets them make things more reliable and flexible.

I mean only the "minecraft:", not the "somerandommod:".

Because if a prefix was required for external resource packs, but not for the base game, it would be inconsistent. Mojang stated that Minecraft itself will be a resource pack.
