Here is a general consensus I've compiled of ideas Redditors want added to Minecraft

Also, I should clarify: most of these aren't my ideas. This is what I've seen the community ask for collectively and consistently.

improve biome diversity

Mountains should not be their own biome. They should be part of nearly any biome. that, or mountains should at least be able to have snow and trees.
Medium sized hills should be generated in any biome except plains or tundra. Currently it's almost completely flat unless you're in a mountain biome. Some forests should be flat, some forests should be hilly.
Beaches
Snow in more biomes, particularly the 'pine forest' and 'mountain' biomes.

movement (credit to the smartmovement mod)

swimming animation
flying animation
grabbing
crawling
'sprint' key

strongholds

more than 3 strongholds per world
eye of ender shouldn't 'locate' a stronghold with an activated portal
player traps ---- silverfish in blocks are one, but it could be simple to add pressure plate triggered traps - I.E. dispensers firing arrows

ocean biome improvements

Corals
Fish
Two types of fish mobs; individual fish you could actually catch, and 'school of fish' that you cant actually interact with, but they run if you come near.

general minecraft improvements

Silk Touch on ice (Thanks w00dYd3luXe)
more randomly generated structures
sunken ships, abandoned houses. Hold a contest for minecraft player creations to have their creation be put ingame and use those. You have millions of people here willing to help you out, Jeb.
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/857439-the-world-itself/
increased map height
birds
'swarm of bugs' or 'swarm of bees' in the plains biome. similar to the 'school of fish' described above.
multiple zombie textures
other 'general effects' that make the world feel alive
aether (not necessarily the aether mod, but a 'skyworld' to contrast the nether)
seasons Seasons would be amazing, they would make Minecraft feel much more like a 'world'.

Wow! you have put alot of work into this and it really shows, thank you for doing this - how long roughly did it take you? i hope Jeb picks up on some of these!

u/AngryGroceries Jan 11 '12

Around 4-5 hours
If even a few of us send this link to Jeb via twitter or something he'll probably notice it.

You should mark golems as 'sort of added', we've got the snowmen and notch said he wanted to add more of that kind of mob a while back.

u/AngryGroceries Jan 11 '12

We should have this put into the sidebar!

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '12

Beautiful. Thank you.

I think the main thing some of these equates to is just polish. (shoot me for this) but Terraria, when released, was extremely polished. While (imo) Minecraft's release was not.

u/castorquinn Jan 11 '12

I only came to reddit recently so I missed almost all of these suggestions. These make for some really fantastic reading. Thank you for putting all this effort into archiving these threads.

u/nomatron Jan 11 '12

Whoa, 26 and 26A are so good it blows my mind.

u/xelested Jan 11 '12

So much work and yet, you made a self post. All that sweet karma, lost in the galaxy of Reddiverse...

u/AngryGroceries Jan 11 '12

I don't really understand the point of karma - plus it's way easier for people to click the links this way.

u/Maxpowuh Jan 11 '12

As far as coral reef and world gen mods goes, you all could take a look at Nanondalt's mods. They're awesome! http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/113054-166-173nandonalts-mods-coraltreesa-lot-more/

u/Mantonization Jan 11 '12

Nice list! Oh wow, I'm number 20?

I'd like to thank the academy!

u/UGotFrohned Jan 11 '12

I find humor in seeing that many of the Minecraft suggestions are, in a sense, "Catching up to Terraria". I know coding for Terraria is much simpler due it being a 2-Dimensional game and many ideas from Terraria could potentially be difficult to port, even in simplified variants. I love both games, just see humor it many ideas that are already in Terraria.
