This game is called Minecraft. You mine for materials, survival, and wealth(or at least the feeling of it). What creatures/race does all of this too? Why, dwarfs of course!
They would spawn deep underground, looking for gold, diamond, iron, and coal, just like you.
They could serve the same purpose as randomly generated towns/goblin villages(not sure if these will ever come, but..). Whatever functions the towns have, they would have. But deep, deep underground.
Kill them, and get their hoard of materials. Or make peace with them, and have a trading outpost underground and such.
I'd love to see dwarf fortresses: places with high walls, made of smooth stone, which take up very little horizontal space but their interiors should extend deep into the earth. I suggest Dwarves be made only 1 block high and their passages only 1 block high so their caves/dwellings are hard to assault. I think they should slowly mine out new passages so that they eventually mine out complicated systems. If they can mine they should only be able to remove a block every other minute so as not to draw much processing power and so that they don't take away too many opportunities to mine from the player.

once upon a time, scientist smartass was messing with atoms until one day HE MADE THE WHOLE WORLD INTO BLOCKS!. Now individually u must survive giant exploding green dicks at night in ur dirt house

Well the world is infinte (more or less). As long as Dwarven fortresses aren't everywhere, they can mine as fast as us. Then the choice is yours. Assault them and try and take what's there's OR move on.

So . . . this would be very similar to monster villages that Notch plans to incorporate already? Actually, as an add-on to monster villages, this would be pretty great. It'd take a bit of coding (Notch has had problems with coding monster villages, after all), but if he can get monster villages working, I don't see why he wouldn't be able to do this.
Well since a dwarf village would basically be a fort, it could be an entire chunk randomly taken up to prevent the overlapping chunks problem(Since it would probably be in the shape of a square anyway). From there it would randomly generate the buildings. The generator would also hopefully start generating the fort at the average height of the blocks in the chunk.

This is a fantastic idea!!!!! The don' have to be coded to mine, they can just start with a base/tunnel system.
And to make things simple can we just have dwarfs be hostile mobs with weapons?

You are totally thinking about this signature right now. Read a book.

Eventually it would be nice to see them do some of their own mining. Assuming they are put in the game that is.

I would love to see a dwarf miner randomly pop out of a wall in a cave or something. That would be hilarious!

And the plural is Dwarves, btw.

Spell check keeps saying otherwise, lol.
Actually, Dwarfs = stands for Dungeon and Dragon plural.
While, Dwarves is J.R Tolkiens version.
Both are correct in a way.
Better mining abilities and being to squeeze though small areas? Tempting. But I would like to crouch/crawl better.
And MY AXE!
(Yes, awesome)
But we don't have battle axes yet D:
Skinning dwarves is hard as the mostly turn out to be hairy humans.
Playing Minecraft since [Friday, March 19, 2010, 9:20:21 PM] (First indev world save)
New game mode based solely underground? Lol. I would enjoy swimming in magma.

Or just the same idea as all other NPC villages, "indifference," "love," and "hate."
Eventually it would be nice to see them do some of their own mining. Assuming they are put in the game that is.
Course I'd like to see Minecraft get a bit more fantasy to it. So yes Dwarfs and magic and all that would be great In my opinion.
