Hey, I've been playing on and off for a few months now and really love the game, here's a few quick suggestions that I think would benefit minecraft indev.
- A bed.
Waiting for day can be really boring in the first few starting nights, where you probably do not have torches yet. So something I thought might be a good idea is a bed that makes like 6-12 ingame hours pass.
(wool) (wool) (wool)
- A Shield.
Held just like a sword, except instead of attacking it blocks a few hits from the front (like actually blocks, not like armor) maybe wood can take 3 hits and work up from there, maybe made with the "anvil" (next). This could help block arrow barrages if you're on low health or something.
- anvil
If you are gonna be adding options to create lots of cool metal things but are running out of crafting bench combinations, a totally different bench for metals might be handy, thus an anvil.
- Throwing torch (or flaming arrow/ Molotov)
When I make some kind of 100000 foot tower, it bothers me that if I want to light up a certain area so I can see it from up there at night (after all what else is a tower good for than admiring the land) I have to walk all the way back down run out and get my butt kicked just to place a torch. I think maybe combining 4-6 torches into 1 throw able torch (or alternatively a flaming arrow?) that places a single torch where it lands (or alternatively sets its surroundings on fire) is a cool idea. Should move at arrow velocity/parabola.
Basically, Being able to see in the dark from way up high looks good, but you don't always have time to place torches, so a throwing torch sounds good to me. But alternatively flame arrows would be great for combat/fun because fire is quite simply: awesome.
-CROUCHING
This would be really really handy, as well crouch jumping to get into crawl spaces on ground level and 1 block high.
-Water stuff
I hear talk of boats, instead of posting the same idea that everyone has posted 15 times, I think with boats should come water creatures, as well as larger water creatures that threaten the boat, as well as harpoons to fight them with. When/if multiplayer survival comes out you might be able to have 1 player drive the boat and another beating the crap out of the creatures trying to kill you.
Most of these ideas have been suggested and re-hashed many times.
I have not seen a suggestion for throwable torches though. What might make more sense is a flare that you toss out to light up an area temporarily. I like the idea.
