This is a e-mail i wrote to Notch with an idea to a new update. I found out that I maybe should post it here aswell here since on his info site it says that many of his emails automaticly go in his "spammail" and so on, and i think this is a really good idea that i want him to hear, so incase he didnt get my idea email, I hope he will read it here
Hello mister Perrson
Im a BIG (with capital letters all the way) fan of your game, Minecraft. I just love it. I cant go a day without thinking about it, how good i feel when i play, and how freakin paranoid i get when i`m digging myself down in the search for lava and i hear all the creepy noises around me.
So i wondered if you would be so kind to listen to an idea i got how to improve the little part of the game i think is annoying. No local server. Me and my friends play Minecraft and we love it, we actually just had a "minecraft gaming" through a whole night and it was great, but we thought it would be better if we could create our own servers locally on our network to show off our houses, create masterpieces together, fight creepers, create mining companys, to just interract with eachother (to burn down eachothers wood houses ;P). It would be so awsome. So please mister Perrson, can you make an update with this? It would be so great, and BTW, i am most certain other people around the world would love that update too;-)
You could just make a server and only give the IP to people who are nearby, and only let those people in the server. (I think whitelists are part of vanilla minecraft now.)
