Personally, I say never.
Minecraft is an amazing game, and the community is SO CRAZY! Which is how I like it.
It takes an INSANE human being to spend 50+ hours making a bat mob for a game that they will recieve no money for creating, yet if ANYONE makes a bat mob people here will WORSHIP them for their achievement.
Minecraft has many incentives, yet no goals as of yet. The game is entirely about creation, and the community is unmatched, at this moment even rivaling that of Valve, for a game that has not yet been officially released even!
But.... One day the mods may have to stop.
Eventually there may be too many to install into the game at once and even remotely get it to run.
Frankly, I think that day may happen, many, many decades into the future.
Technology moves on, and so do the mods. Minecraft takes up so little space on a computer, and the mods can be so streamlined...
I am in favor of NO limit, of the idea that when the final release is made, THIS FORUM could be used as the new developing department for the game. As of yet, Minecraft still feels limited, but the POTENTIAL for such an adaptable program feels LIMITLESS.
I have no skill at Modding, but a knack at times for game design. I stay awake at night browsing for new mods now. I get hyper at the thought of posting a new topic. Congratulating people on great mods.
One day, birds with individual characteristics in behavior and witches and pteranadons will fill the Minecraft skies....
And it won't be enough.
Sharks and dolphins and whales will swim the seas...
And the player will have a diving suit or maybe even a submarine with torpedo bays...
And it won't be enough.
A mod will enable mp3 files to be added and a music blasting Sports stadium map will be downloadable for multiplayer Minecraft games like Spleef...
And it won't be enough.
Every addition makes these people, probably many of the people reading this, GO WILD with imagination.
One day, JUNGLES and tigers and individual species of bears and characters from India's Legends will roam the world in a world that will resemble an online version of the original Jungle Book...
And it won't be enough to satisfy our wants and demands.
Almost none of this is done yet.
Go make it happen.
Petition modders.
Become one if you can.
Even a crappy, original mod is a good start.
GO FORTH AND CRAFT!
(This rant is hammy. This is intentional. We are all crazy here. Also, direct people to this, I want people to salivate enough to actually DO things in this AWESOME online community.)

I have a feeling that Minecraft will continue to grow due to its potential. as the OP said, it is really limitless. If any limits are found , then they will be worked around. There are many things that were thought impossible for the game, like mobile lights, but they now exist. People's potential to grow and expand is shown when their creativity is encouraged. Hopefully todays community members and modders will one day turn their creativity out upon the world in order to help make it better.

It is not the weapon that makes the warrior, but the warrior that makes the weapon.
I cannot put into words how great that was. For people who want to start modding, like myself, it's some real encouragement to get out there, and make something no one has ever seen. To amaze the community, shock them, that they never thought of that. It's great.
I've seen 5 good, balanced mods on this forum and several hundred that are basically just cheating.
Go out there and stop making crap mods.
Cheating? Or being innovative? This is exactly what he's saying, that people will continue to mod. Whether the mods are for everyone, or just for a select few, it doesn't matter.

You're basically implying that the iceman around the corner has to stop making vanilla flavors, as you do not like it.
Modders are free to make what they want to make. If you've only seens five well-balanced mods, then you need to start opening your eyes. Many, many modders make well-balanced mods, while others make mods that makest the game easier. It all depends on their playing style. If they like cheating, using invEdit and the like, they'll make easy mods. If they like playing it the hard way, they will make balanced mods. Now stop whining and start contributing yourself.
Iceman.... That's a cool idea :biggrin.gif:
OH, and I was going to add a magical ice cream man (Which is what I think you meant :biggrin.gif:) to my first mod, the Ice Cream Mod. :3
why would we stop modding just because minecraft got released?
that would be kind of stupid.

Your IDEAS are fantastic. Ive almost decided to mod minecraft (instead of coding my true(nonvoxel) 3d building game inspired by it) but i was focused on more mechanisms (we desperately need them to enable real machines, traps etc.
But flying bats? swimming dolphins? Your ideas are fantastic.
And i agree.. MC is going to be huge and ever growing. The big game corps are going to try to clone it and steal its thunder but honestly theres no way in h*ll they can mod and expand a clone as fast as this community has mc. They wouldnt even release new versions this fast.. even in beta. And if they did theyd be buggy as hell.
You are absolutely right in saying that the community will create the future of minecraft. Notch has said before the game will remain simple, only adding things that will add to the game - but not change it unless necessary.
Speaking of limitations, I understand there is a 127-block limitation (without modding) imposed on the game. Is this limit self-imposed by Notch, or is it a limitation imposed by Java? I assume it was Notch's doing, as there is a mod to increase it to 255.

So basically you have said: "many, many decades into the future..." minecraft will become Dwarf Fortress.
That is my dream, to at least have the world generation as detailed as Dwarf Fortress, and equally as many creatures. Not a clone, but not "random snow here, a bit of sand there...". Many of these concepts aren't realistic with the infinite world system though. Although the world generation could still be vastly improved by modders, and has with BiomeTerrainMod (Although even that is still far too limited).
Did you know that Dwarf Fortress has 51 biomes (excluding modifiers such as Savage/Joyous), 64 unique types of stone, 17 unique types of ore/mineral, 20 unique types of soil, 220 unique creatures (With defined organs and descriptions), 21 types of plants (All farmable except Valley Herb), 31 unique types of trees, 26 types of armor (each craftable by different minerals leather and cloth.), 24 types of weapons, 19 types of furniture, 11 definable rooms, 29 unique constructions (walls and such). To top it off, everything here is biome specific. Even evil creatures like skeletons, and good creatures like unicorns are bound to biomes due to an aligment option (You can for instance have a savage jungle, or joyous wilds, depending on how evil/good an area is).
And yet nobody here will disagree with me when I say that one day Minecraft will rival these numbers.
Dwarf Fortress would be a wonderful goal.
I would love to see a management system that detailed in Minecraft, and I will leave this thread so that I may begin bombarding the forum with requests. Be sure to comment, all of you.
May the Be with you.

I would like to add that this forum is an amazing incentive to continue dreaming up mods and addons.
