Confirmed Material
I'd like to open this off by asking that you please not suggest material that has already been confirmed. When a member suggests something that has already been suggested, the other members get annoyed because they're seeing the same topic over and over, which can be stopped by simply using the search bar or Google. However, when a member suggests something that has already been confirmed by Notch, then you're just wasting your time and ours. So, before posting an idea that you truly feel will be GREAT, and it's perfectly flawless, you might want to check to see whether or not it's been confirmed. To do so, you can check the Minecraft Wiki, or you can check Notch's blog. If you can't find your idea there and you still want to post, then please proceed with reading this list.
Modern Guns
I know you're probably thinking that your idea is going to be unique. Different from all of the other gun ideas. Please realize that while that may in fact be true, guns are majorly unwanted by the Minecraft community. Most people will disagree with you. Some will say that Minecraft is set to be in the past, but that's not the main reason people don't want them. Many of the guns ideas are highly overpowered; there is no way to properly balance a machine gun in this game. It doesn't fit with the atmosphere of the game. This is a game where a sole person goes around crafting things from raw material, but it's meant to be pretty basic (for the most part).
The main issue with guns is that they are too "technologically advanced." What is the line in Minecraft for technological advancement? We're not exactly sure, but we do know when that line has been crossed. That may be a matter of opinion, and I agree; however, realize that you really have to have your thoughts organized before proposing a gun get added. I assure you that anything too modern will most likely be shunned. But, never fear! If you really want guns in Minecraft, you can always just look for a mod. If there are none, try your hands at making on or suggesting one be made.
Weaker Creepers
This will not happen. In the future, there will likely be the possibility to turn off creepers spawning, but for now, creepers will remain and they will be as strong as they've always been. The creeper is the most unique mob in the game. It is a pure creation from Minecraft. Yes, they can be total nuisances, but trust the community, you can handle them with the proper preparations, and that's part of the fun of Minecraft. Their blast radius will not be cut off as that would make the game entirely too easy, as all other mobs are relatively easy to avoid; their blast will not be deactivated, as you can easily do it yourself by placing them in water; they will not make more sound, as they are called creepers for a reason; and they will not burn in the sun, as all other creatures already either burn in the sun or become neutral.
To deal with creepers, simply be prepared. Don't waltz outside as soon as the sun rises. Look around, carry a sword, and walk cautiously. Soon they'll despawn anyway.
Obsidian Tools
The simple answer to why this shouldn't be suggested is that it's overpowered. The complex answer is as follows: Obsidian is easily the strongest block in the game. It takes a diamond pickaxe to collect it, and even with the diamond pickaxe, it takes 15 seconds to mine. This block was obviously built to be like this. If you were thinking of making obsidian tools to make mining obsidian faster, then you've just ruined one of the things that make the block unique. If you were considering making tools that are unbreakable/near unbreakable, then you've just defeated the purpose of mining and I assure you that things will get old, fast.
They are way too overpowered and a balance will not be found. Trust me, this block is not made to be crafted into anything other than portals.
Mobs Dropping Diamonds
Having a mob that drops diamonds would be dreadful for the game. Diamonds are the rarest ore in the game and you actually have to rely on both work and luck to find them. Having mobs just randomly drop them would be disastrous to this balance that the game currently has with them. Having mobs drop them, even if it's just a 1% chance, would allow players to have a higher amount of diamonds. Realize that too much or a good thing is a bad thing. If you had an excess of diamonds, you'd have an excess of diamond tools, which would ultimately lead to the game getting boring as you've collected the most powerful object in the game by killing mobs. Not to mention that it makes no sense for mobs to just randomly be carrying around diamonds. How many times to you go walking around with diamonds in your pocket, sans the times that you're coming back to your base after mining them. Exactly. This is a bad idea.
Mod Alternative: -Please suggest one if you know of any-
Nukes
Several people have suggested that nukes be implemented. Some have even claimed that the explosion should be a 100x100x100 block area. Do me a favor: Go into Minecraft and give yourself 64 TNT. Make a 5x5x5 stack of it and encase it in obsidian so that it doesn't fly everywhere. Do you experience any lag whatsoever? Most people definitely will experience some lag. That is an explosion that's MUCH smaller than a 100x100x100 explosion. An explosion that large would crash the game. Also, if you're thinking of making a smaller explosion, it'll either still be too big and laggy, or too small and unimportant. There is no middle ground on this one. If you want a bigger explosion, you can always just use more TNT. Besides, there are pretty much no uses for nukes and you likely wouldn't have time to avoid the explosion. Also, just imagine if a griefer got his/her hands on one of those...
Sorry, but nukes would be a no-go. Much too overpowered and very little (if any) use.
Cars
Many complain that there should be some form of faster transportation. Adding cars, however, is not a good idea. Cars are much too modern for Minecraft. They wouldn't fit in with the rest of the game. The building of these machines would probably be much too involved and the outcome would still look odd. This is one of those things that you have to trust the community on. It just doesn't fit into Minecraft. It'd probably be much too fast, it can throw the game off balance, and it has nothing to do with the rest of what you get in Minecraft.
Sorry, but cars are a no-go.
Mod Alternative:-Please suggest one if you know of any- Thanks to Captin Idgit for the suggestion!
Levels, Stats, Etc.
Minecraft is not an RPG. It does not require stats of any kind. The only "stats" that may be implemented are hunger and tiredness. However, things such as strength, ability, etc., should all be determined by the things that you have mined, not by how long you've mined for. Implementing these stats would largely change the way that Minecraft operates. It would cease to be a sandbox game and would become another RPG. Enough of those exist, so if you're looking to level up, you can always play the games that allow for that. However, Minecraft should stay far away from that kind of system.
It's just not worth it to have levels and stats. It's unnecessary.
New Dimensions
The newest dimension that people are hoping for is The Aether, which will work as a counter-balance for The Nether. However, any other dimensions would be taking it too far. Having three dimensions is already enough. Please, if you have very creative ideas to express, try to see if they can fit into The Aether or into The Nether's development. Don't try to make an entire dimension from scratch just for the sake of having thought up a new dimension. Too many and things would become overcomplicated.
Mod Alternative:: -Please suggest one if you know of any-
Herobrine
We get many suggestions asking for the addition of Herobrine or something Herobrine-related. This is likely to not happen. The idea is simply much too out there. Minecraft is a game about survival in the wild. Bringing in things that deal with being spooky and mysterious is not the style of Minecraft. However, you may disagree, but there's other reasons to not add Herobrine. Many suggestions have dealt with Herobrine stalking you, griefing you, and stealing your things. To add that to the code is highly impractical. Also, many people would dislike the idea of having someone around that steals from them, especially when they can't steal back. Some suggest that it should be optional, and while that may be more fair, the impracticality of adding code that alters the world around you because of Herobrine remains. This idea is just much too far-fetched.
Wishlists
There are certain times where you may have several ideas that you wish to express, and to save up on space, you'll wish to post them all in one topic as a list. Please refrain from doing this. You're only allowed to have one suggestion per topic on these forums. Also, if you have an entire list thought out, odds are that you haven't given all of the ideas on that list a nice, thorough thought-process. Also, too many things in one topic tend to overwhelm those that are reading your ideas. So, if you have these lists, please look over them, make sure that they aren't already confirmed or previously suggested ideas, think them out thoroughly, and then post them. You're bound to get a much more positive reaction if you do so. Thanks to Mindcraft2.0 for the suggestion!
Also you say obsidian is not meant to be crafted into anything other than portals. I think they will have other crafts but it will not be tools. I know it is late lol
Also: Stronger TNT varients, Nukes, cars, space (though a few threads for this are fairly popular) also aliens, planes especilly if they allow for insainly fast travel, magic (runecraft is a mod alternate), and any other technology that doesn't fit the fantasy theme.
It's not that guns would be overpowered, it's just that Notch doesn't want them because we've already got bows. A simple blundarbus would fit with the timeline (we've got gunpowder.)
I think Notch said that there will be magic (some kind of enchantment on wood/gold items.)

@peu: Thank you too. I've added the mods.
Please keep helping me improve this list. It's still a very small list but I'm sure that over time we can tackle a lot. Also, this will help with the whole "use the search bar" thing. People can easily come into this topic and Ctrl+F their suggestion. Or they can look at the table of contents. :tongue.gif:
Add 'levels' and 'stats' to that list. This is not an RPG, and I want to mine coal right away without having to mine a bunch of cobble just to get a high enough level to mine coal or get a item that gives me a 5 minute strength buff which lets me to mine coal.
There should be a tool that if the topic of a title is 100% similar, or it contains ideas that have been suggested 100 times and are absolutely stupid, the topic should not get posted and they should be sent to a page with all the topics that are exactly like the one they wanted to post.

Derp.
The first guns were invented near the end of the medieval period, long before minecarts, tnt, the steam engine (powered minecart), and jukeboxes were first created. They fit well into the time period of minecraft.
Also, guns are disgustingly easy to balance out. If the weapon required, say, 1 cobblestone and 1 gunpowder per shot, had a 2-3 second delay between shots, and did, say, 5 damage, it'd be at most on par with the bow with firepower, and far more expensive to use at that. More, it'd actually open up a unique combat style for ranged users.
The real reason people don't want guns in minecraft, is that they generally either blindly assume that the weapon would be overpowered/futuristic, or that they see Notch's "no guns" statement, and decide that that's final.
Don't act like the authority on the matter without an understanding of game balance, or of what people actually suggest when talking about guns.

~ I've thought about the phrase 'Money is the root of all evil' and I have to disagree. Evil isn't dependant on an object. I say that want is the root of all evil.
I think cars just arn't Minecrafty enough, and if technology is implemented somehow, it would probably be like the crazy stuff Davinci came up with, semi magical, or unique like redstone. Though guns do not seem that natural to minecraft, there are enough mods that I don't think they need to be added anytime soon, and I'm rather neutral on having them or not.
If you may I would like to add to your list or things the following.
Map Height Size
Changing the vertical size of the map is nearly impossible, and will take days of rewriting and trouble shooting to implement. It will insanely increase lag because the game loads and edits the map in vertical bottom to ceiling of the map chunks, double this and it guess what happens. There is a ton of hard coding limitations to keep the map its current height, and there is also a lot of soft coded limitations too (they cause bugs). Notch will not change it and has said so before. If a modder wanted to change this, he or she would have to rewrite a TON of code, and any maps made with the new dimensions will not work properly with existing maps, and a lot of other things.
Just accept it as impossible.

I also agree with cars but we do need a mode of transportation. planes may work, who knows as long, as you say captain, they are not OP.
Space can be an option still, I am sure the nether is way too hot for us to survive in. It is possible to make space special in a minecrafty way.
Magic I shiver too but I think it is still an option. It just depends.
Also fantasies can range from undersea themes to technologically advanced futures!
This is just a game where we need to survive by using raw materials.
