Idea #1
Notch and Mojang could make it so you could have competitive multiplayer with classes. The map wouldn't be infinite and there would be a bedrock box around the arena which has half the height of a normal map. Because of this it would be harder to find ores so the ore frequency would be cut in half. The maps would be selected from a list but ores are randomly generated to be fair. Also there would be a time limit so the matches dont go on forever and ever. You could choose 2 day 3 day or 4 day matches. The matches would be 8v8 and there would be 5 classes:
engineer:starts with 32 TNT 32 torches and 64 cobblestone and full stone armor.
fighter: starts with iron sword and and full stone armor.
archer: starts with bow 64 arrows and full wood armor.
healer: starts with inventory filled with random food(not including raw meat).
scuba diver: starts with 16 sponges
Well those of you who don't like the idea dont have to use it.
1.It will still have the original minecraft multiplayer to so stop crying about all the friends you're going to lose.
2.You will not access classes in the singleplayer game and they will be unobtrusive in multiplayer because it doesnt affect skills or anything just your starting items.
Idea #2
Notch could add classic mode to the survival mode application but survival mode would have all the features of survival mode except no enemies no damage and no lava and more wool colors for better pixel art. To prevent clutter in the inventory there would only be 10 wool items but you could change the color of each one. You could also participate in level designer mode where you could design levels for the deathmatch mode. In level designer mode trees will not grow so when you play online all planted trees start at there original phase.
Idea#3
Notch could add the nether update(glowing mushrooms, poison arrows, infernium tools, ect.) and the minecraft advanced update(dark tools, fallen drakes, giant creepers, ect.) and the aether mod(floating islands, gravity slimes, holystone, ect.) and sdks gun mod(sniper rifles, nukes, flamethrowers, ect.) and rangecraft(boomerangs, sticky grenades, explosive arrows, ect.).

No, sorry, I really hate this idea. For starters, you cannot make wood armour. Similarly, there has never been stone armour.
Secondly, any game mode that is all about combat is missing the point of MineCraft- the game is not at all about combat, and is more about mining, crafting and building houses. If someone not only could, but was encouraged to kill you, it would remove many chances for creativity.
Thirdly, the idea just isn't marketable- if people wanted to play a class based deathmatch, they could just pick up COD, or any of the other shooters. Take TF2- being originally designed as a team FPS, the balance and gameplay is far smoother and more balanced than a minecraft deathmatch could ever be. All minecraft has over most other multiplayer deathmatch would be the fact that you can destroy terrain, which is something that seems good at first, until you realise that with your current lack of ores, the only reason for digging would be the fact that you could hide from enemies, and the only effect that would have would be to make gameplay far more stilted, meaning people wouldn't enjoy this game unless they enjoyed boxing themselves in a corner and praying that that people wouldn't come from the top.
Also, the classes would be unbalanced. Assuming that by 'wood' and 'stone' armour you meant leather (which replaces both the wood and stone tier of armour), the archer would be the best class. The engineers TNT would not be able to be used in cannons or traps, because they didn't have water or redstone, and mining for it would be nigh on impossible, as there were no minerals and everyone would try to find them once everyone resorted to hiding, which would definitely occur after an archer had gotten a few kills, using the loot to get more than enough arrows, plenty of healing, the best armour, and an underwater base from all of the sponges. Until people stopped playing divers, because they seem as UP as hell. Any mines the engineer made would be found, and then the player in 1st place would just have to wait until the engineer came back to find what they needed to make a TNT death machine.
So what you would end up with is a bunch of people who were lured by online multiplayer, found it to be a boring, unbalanced mess, and promptly complained on the forums the minecraft wasn't enough like every other online FPS, clogging up any good posts and ending with many annoyed people on both sides.
Agreed.
