Preamble:
First of all, I've been playing Minecraft heavily for about a week now, and I LOVE this game. That being said, here are some ideas to make it even more awesome:
Ideas/Content:
1) There should be a weather system. It would give players more incentive to be above ground, and it could have cool effects/survival potential (e.g. if it's snowing really hard, you slowly lose life from being cold, rain slows you down and turns dirt into mud which has its own physics and can slide (maybe in the same way lava does, maybe more like water, not sure).
2) A rope and pulley system to allow for non-water elevators and hauling equipment up from a deep mine without having to make rails everywhere. Plus, knowing the Minecraft community, we'd come up with some awesome ways to use it. You could even tether objects to each other (like pigs) to make leashes or traps, and you could lasso pigs!! You could probably make rope out of reeds.
3) It'd be nice if there were more decorative furniture and items to spiff up one's house. Plus you could sit in a chair and read a book from your book case, while occasionally glancing up at your painting. Now that's sophisticated.
4) Snowballs should stack to 64, thus helping with the following sport: Piggitch.
5)Piggitch is a 3v3 sport of mounted pig warriors, 2 on each team wielding snowballs and 1 mounted person on each team with a fishing rod. Your goal is to herd the neutral pig in the middle of the field into your (mostly) fenced in zone. Alternately, it can be played with a deFENCE person on each team, whose goal is to make the fence around the pig. This allows for more dynamic play, since your zone could be anywhere. The fences would have to be limited, however, to about 10-20 per deFENCE player.
Thanks for your consideration. This is such an AWESOME game!!!
Cool! Yeah, I think part of the fun is that you can't control the pigs, but I agree that there should at least be a setting or a better saddle that makes pigs controllable. Thanks for the reply!
