I can't say that I could speak for everyone, but I think of Minecraft being an evolving entity progressing through history with all the different ages (i.e. bronze, iron, industrial revolution...) leading up to the present. I know mods can be applied to achieve certain things, but I would really like to have the ability to use a larger repertoire of mechanisms such as the possibility of computer chips. I have spent many hours building HUGE structures that were only capable of storing a minuscule amount of bits of information. I would love to see advanced digital circuitry capable of performing algorithms without building gigantic circuits that perform the same operations as today's microcontrollers. I make these suggestions because I would very much like for something like my ideas to end up on the Xbox 360 edition, for example. I'll leave this open for more suggestions, and I hope others can come up with more ideas to keep the game up to date with today's technology in a way that still actually suits Minecraft's design and gameplay.
