Perhaps a small tutorial on custom hit boxes for blocks? (Like a sign or a trap door)
Also, one on custom models for blocks? (I know you have the tut for the models themselves, I mean like adding them as a block)
No hurry for them, just some ideas is all. I am still learning the basics, so not going to be working on those for a good while.
Edit:
Just realized the thread is allmost 3 months old, terribly sorry about that.

That doesn't mean it is dead, I will continue again when I get the time. Probably pretty soon.
after wading through a number of bad video tutorials (no insult intended; haven't watched any of yours since i know how to do the things on which you've made them), i'd like to add my voice to those who're asking for text tutorials. i can read a whole lot faster than it takes to watch a video, and i mean, a WHOLE lot faster. unless it is useful to show how a GUI works, for example, i think programming is much better taught in text. i already know how to program, i just want to learn quickly how to do things in forge.
you don't actually do people any favours by preventing them from copy-pasting your code. either they really want to learn programming, and then they'll learn it on their own anyway, even if they start out copy-pasting -- i mean, i've programmed for 20+ years and i copy-paste every time i start with a new API -- or they're basically doing cargo cult programming; filling in somebody else's templates. and if the latter is true, you might as well spare them from making typos, because they will come running and ask for help with those too, and will have learned nothing important.
i am not actually dissing cargo cult programming completely -- if you just want to add a few special items and blocks to your minecraft experience, it would be overkill to learn java, and i wouldn't force anyone into that. but i think it's a good idea for a tutorial maker to decide who they want as their target audience, and adjust their teaching accordingly.
