I think this would add a lot more depth to the game imo. However, It would only be worth adding if there were more than 1 or 2 possibilities. Just being able to make a lantern doesn't seem to be worth the effort.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I remember reading somewhere that notch was wanting to add a means of flight. If that is true, then there is another possibility.
Eh, other than those... I don't see what other uses it could have in the game other than spreading it around to cause a large fire or use as a fuse xD
I agree with the lamp 100%, and Notch has been thinking about doing the same.
However, the idea of a motorboat seems unnecessary, as our little dinghy's seem to get us around pretty fast as it is. I'm also not sure if a fossil-fueled modern motor vehicle would really go with Notch's image of Minecraft as a fantasy game.

He who lives in a water house should not throw sponges.
Waitaminute. Liquids in minecraft are designed to flow via replicating itself. Imagine that with oil. eek.
This needs some rules:
1.Do not replace an oil block if it is removed via a bucket until the next day.
2.inflect damage slowly if you or anyone else enters it.
And now some good properties
1.When waters is above oil, oil replaces the water above it and around it with the same spread rate as if it was oil.
2.When sand/gravel and oil mix,oiled sand/gravel appear and the oil disappears. This creates one block(not a source block) of oil if shoveled and serves as an indicator of oil.
Add this: If you walk onto an Oil tile, you or the mobs will become extremely flammable, igniting from just touching a flame, and taking additional .5 damage every "tick** The effect lasts for 20 seconds.
Use: Traps and danger while oil "drilling"
Also perhaps you should add that you swim slightly slower than in the water, and drowning in oil deals an additional .5 damage every tick.
Tick: A period when you take damage every "X" amount of time.
oil huh, does this mean factions will wage war over it and eventually kill the planet from its use!
Im... not really sure what you mean....
If you don't understand this you should really go back to school and leave minecraft..
On another note, oil would be an interesting resource to incorporate. Though as charcoal was just added as a fuel Notch might keep oil in planning for a while..
But I love everything else about the idea!
so there will be oil slicks in water and oil is much more in deserts
However i think the lamps and powered minecart are as modern it should get. i do have a suggestion for the lamp though.
how about this for the lamp recipe?
- Stick
-Glass
- bucket
EDIT: fixing grammar.
It would add more gameplay and fun !
Totally support !
Thanks for the support + thanks for using the banner.

yes, but the point is that its possible when notch said it wasnt
