It would be handy if you could set 4 objects to a quick select like a sword, food and torches.

That's funny, I was planning on suggesting literally the exact same thing. The D-Pad has absolutely no use in Minecraft but in the console version of Terraria it does what you suggested. You highlight a slot in your inventory and hold a direction. Doing so allows you to use the directional buttons as hotkeys.

I actually use the dpad almost all the time in menu/inventory screens but yet I'd support that outside of said screens.

I agree, in Terraria I have my sword in the quick select bar, and my Magic mirror.

It comes in handy when fighting monsters, many times I push on the D-pad, and afterword realizing their is no quick select feature in Minecraft. I feel this idea is great. I support it.

Honestly... I'd prefer if the d-pad was used for block rotation/placement as suggested here:

Forum Index > Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition > MCX360: Suggestions > USE THE D-PAD TO ROTATE BLOCKS

I think the hotbar works well enough for quick select for my purposes.
