I was playing Minecraft yesterday after reading about the wolves update and I was walking to a new area to find wolves. It was taking some time to get to where I was able to discover new chunks because the world I was in is pre-Beta and Is very Large (the world size is over 60 Mb)I haven't wanted to abandon it yet as I have a few large projects that I'm still working on. The world was created prior to the biomes update I had done plenty of exploring,
So I began thinking, why doesn't Minecraft have a run feature? The more I thought about it the more sense it made. I began thinking of a way to get a faster walk speed and I immediately thought of Hermes' Shoes, the Greek god, and the shoes that have the wings on them.
Here is what I have so far.
You make a pair of normal golden boots, put them into the crafting bench with 2 feathers on either side, and add 2 things of red dye from red flowers, to make the classic looking red high tops with wings.
Feel free to add, or counter this Idea, but it was an interesting thought about how to increase the walk speed.
Though already suggested, this one is a lot better than others. How about pushing R toggles runo no and off, but running for, say, 20 seconds forces you back into walk (At crouch speed) and locks running for 50 sec. This would make you need to keep a balance and not run too much
There's the randomness I made in 1 min. Is that good?

At a loss for words? Here's a few you can use: Welcome, to Night Vale...
How about one disadvantage to them is that they are "slippery", ie, if you are wearing them, then the 'crouch to not fall' doesn't work and when you stop moving you slide for a little bit before stopping. The way to have them have health may be that they have several uses and a limited 'sprint distance' of 20 blocks or 30 seconds and that the sprint function on them only has maybe 10 uses or maybe that they are very delicate, ie if you drop more than one block in height they take damage. that would allow them to be useful, while still making them expensive enough to not have 800 pairs of them in your home base. Again I'm just spit-balling ideas here.
I know minecarts are faster but they are useless to explore new areas, because you don't have any minetrack down, you cant explore faster with them.
I don't know:
Either someone will make it super-unbalanced and complicated,
Or too easy and impractical of an item.
How about we just wear feet armor, and they make us go 1.4x faster, and there's running shoes we can find in dungeons that make us go 2x faster than walking, along with endless durability, but doesn't give any armor.
I wouldn't mind this; but we already speed walk and are faster than all the mobs(exluding on occasion,) leaving no good reason for going faster.
I just realized something. Steve runs at the rate of 1 meter per second. That's dang fast. You are already running epically fast. THere you go, this is already part of the game =P

My average walking gait (IRL) is 2.5 feet per step. I can take 2 steps in a second. This is 1.66meters WALKING.
1 meter = 1 yard +/- an inch or 2.
I had an idea a while back. Sugar rush. Using sugar will allow the player an extra burst of speed for 1/2 a second.
Right clicking with sugar equipped will automatically start using sugar to run. Right-clicking again will disable sugar consumption.
A full stack of sugar, therefore, gives 32 seconds of run time.
Run speed and time should therefore be moderated by boots.
No Boots - can run for 5 seconds every minute. 50% increased run speed
Leather Boots - can run for 10 seconds every 1 minute. 75% increased run speed. 1 durability every second running.
Gold Boots - can run for 5 seconds every minute. 200% increased run speed (3x as fast). 1 durability every second running.
Iron Boots - can run for 15 seconds every 1 minute. 100% increased run speed. 1 durability every second running.
Diamond Boots - can run for 45 seconds every 1 minute. 125% increased run speed. 1 durability every second running.

Nice. And I thought I was the only one who took the time to write up charts for suggestions =P

Well they do have wings on the side lets make a use for them....Give you an extra leap and I guess the better the material like diamond the more higher you can jump.Other than that it sounds great.

The bigger the topic is, the more likely it becomes Notch notices it.
There's a lot of great ideas for new blocks/items there =)
