I was playing Minecraft a while back, and I was getting annoyed by the hunger, and other things like that.

So I thought having more world options would be an awesome feature!

Here's what I mean:

In "More world options" you could choose from a set gameplay type, or customize your own.
Basically, the "Set Gameplay types" would be 1.8b, 1.7.3b, 1.4a, and other versions. Mojang wouldn't have to add every single version, they'd just have to add the versions which had a major difference in gameplay.

You could also choose your own options, like "Sheep eat grass", "Endermen move blocks", "Hunger", "Animals spawn naturally", and other choices.

You know what I mean.


If you don't want an edited world, you don't have to use the extra options.

Heck, they could even throw in a "Spawning Biome" option, that'd be pretty cool.

I think this would be cool because I get annoyed at hunger, and animal spawning not being possible other than breeding.

Anyways, post your reasons why this shouldn't be in the game, it's completely optional. You're also going to be in singleplayer, so it won't affect anyone else.

In multiplayer, the server owner would set the options, which would help for certain servers, and prevent people from having an advantage over others.


So, yeah, like I said, post your reasons why this shouldn't be in Minecraft. They should be good reasons and not just "This would make it too easy\This sucks.". You don't have to use them, so you can still enjoy the challenge if wanted! Making it too easy would be a good thing for new players\casual gamers too, so they can just relax.

They probably already have this, I even heard my friend talking about it today. Weird Huh?

Overall, pretty good idea. They would all be default normally, but would be nice to have in another world options page.

Also, that font is annoying and hard to read, especially when it's centered. That's not necessary at all.

Sorry, it's just my signature text style I like to use. I'll cut off on it for a bit.

It wouldn't be so bad in a slightly larger size, it's just that when it's compressed that much it looks bad, at least in quantity. I see you fixed it though.

So I guess you want Minecraft to be the most sandboxy game in history of time and space. GREAT IDEA! Do reckon it will happen though o_O

The only thing I could actually see as being a viable option is the hunger bar. To my knowledge, it's extremely difficult to add options unless you do it as the feature is stll unfinished. I personally think that Mojang should be spending their time fixing the current features.

Maybe Notch could just copy the code from the old versions, and fix the old bugs later?

Not sure if the previous code is compatible though, with him always changing the code (or whatever it is that makes mods need to update.) between the updates.

Or maybe when he's extremely stumped and doesn't have any ideas, he could just work on this for a bit. (Or take a break, go on a walk, or do something else to refresh himself.)

YES! becuase ADVENTURE MAPS.

If there were options that set, for example, what blocks the character could or couldn't break, you could make adventure maps work, and seem much more real.

We now have a small amount of world options in Minecraft. (Flat world, Normal world.etc)

I know this topic didn't influence Mojang to add this, but it's still pretty cool to see this happening.
