Minecraft is becoming very controversial weather or not to be a sandbox game or an adventure game. Expansion packs = mods = personalize your minecraft.
Jeb once said something about all these mods being like expansion packs. Fan mods are like expansion packs, they allow for people to chose what to add to their game to make it fun. Notch/Mojang/Jeb could make Minecraft so that the players themselves could decide how they want to play.
Of course, there could still be fan made mods, that's not the point. My point is that many people are getting angry with all the new updates (including, to an extent, me).
Mojang could make Minecraft exactly like it used to be. A survival sandbox-ish game. There could be expansion "updates". For instance: The Adventure Update! (An pack that adds on hunger, score, massve biomes, amazing lighting, abandoned mine-shafts, npc villages); A Creative Update (The purely sandbox Minecraft); The Potion Update (Adds health potions, poison potions, etc.); The Magic Update (Adds magic to the game, maybe a new mob (witches, dragons, trolls, etc.), amulets, etc.); The Industrial Update (Like, industrial craft, buildcraft, etc.); And many more!
All of the updates would be completely free! (free, maybe free to alpha or beta minecraft buyers, or relatively cheap)
Please post other suggestions, comments (, concerns?), and reply to the poll.
to me this is a sandbox/adventure game if i do not want to run around and kill things i just play on peaceful. if i want to go out and try to own the world i can move it to easy+ and then head out on my adventure. i quite enjoy the food myself. as for potions i have not made any yet. when minecraft was first given to me i never played on anything but peaceful. with all the new things i am interested in adventuring as well as building.
i myself do not see why people are so unhappy. when i played on peaceful i was called a noob because i did not want to fight monsters.. and now people are upset over easy + because of potions and hunger? when i myself want to play as that now.
i feel over all the game is turning into a very awesome thing.
Those are all choices that you could pick to personalize your minecraft. There could be a creative mode add on. You could have multiple add ons at once, so it could be exactly like minecraft is now, or it could be something else entirely. It would still be minecraft, just with the content that you like. You could have precisely what you guys are asking for, with the choices to have other things.
While I like the idea, there's a rather inherent problem: SMP compatibility. It would make a huge mess out of the entire multiplayer system; It would make connecting to servers a hugely complicated (and potentially expensive) process, cause lots of infighting over what pack is the "best", etc....
Good in concept, but I can't see any ways to execute it well at the moment.
