With the new 1.9 update being released a few days ago, people are scrambling to get their ideas in early. I might as well add to the heap.
What I suggest adding to Minecraft is the Harvest Moon. It's an event that happens at night, and as the thread title said, it'll benefit Players who practice farming.
Chance: Every time a night cycle starts, there's a 5% chance of that nighttime being a Harvest Moon. You'll be able to tell that it's a Harvest Moon if the moon has a faint, yellow tinge.
Effects: When a Harvest Moon is happening, the event will last from dusk until dawn (when the moon is visible). During the Harvest Moon, crops open to the sky will grow as if it's daytime, unlike how their growth is delayed during a normal night cycle. During the event, harvesting crops has a 25% chance of the crop dropping an extra item. For example, harvesting a Melon during a Harvest Moon may have it drop 5 Melon Slices instead of the usual 4 Slices. This effect, however, does not affect Pumpkin Crops. You can also break leaves during a Harvest Moon to increase the chance of getting Apples/Saplings, breaking grass to get Seeds, etc.
It's one of the smaller ideas I had, but I'd appreciate your opinions on the suggestion.
It's creative, and I like it. Though the only problem I see is that you can easily miss it because you were underground mining, but even then, it still grows your crops even if you aren't there. So I support for the most part.
Does this work on Nether Warts planted in the Overworld?

Yeah, that guy in the avatar is me. I'm *that* strange. It happens. Sometimes people act like that. Just go with it. I can offer help with suggestions even before you post them - NOT make your suggestions - but help you with them.

Moon-Phase Meter? Like a clock, but shows what phase of moon it will be that night, and can be colored yellowish to depict Harvest Moons.

Only if there's also a moon where it rains and lightnings super hard and mobs spawn like crazy without restrictions

I really like it - Support from me!

I really liek this, maybe it should have an effect on animals too? Maybe they could have a chance to spawn more babies 1-3 and drop more items.
If you like threads about mobs, then my threads are mainly about that: http://www.minecraftforum.net/members/AGmantheAG/threads

I think crops should also grow 25% faster during this event considering its so rare. Support.
Sextant.
Underground?

Minecraft has no poles, yet compasses work fine
Eh, point taken. How would such a device convey the information (I think it should be in a visual style, similar to the Clock and Compass)

The lens turns orange on harvest nights.
