Minecraft has only one truly farmable plant... wheat (Shrooms (that you can only make soup out of... leaving bowls everywhere), Sugar Cane (you make bookcases with it? why not rum? It's made from sugar cane!), and Cacti (useless aside from mod and player traps-and cactus greens)). A great suggestion to any modders out there would be to create and develop more plants (and uses for farming them). How about Grape vines that drop grapes you can use to make wine? Or Corn? Apples that fall off trees (Jeb said he wanted to see this happen, but as of now it hasn't- plus oranges or other biome specific fruit bearing trees would be great!)? Pineapples that grow on the ground? The possibilities are pretty abundant, but a use would be needed for each added plant. Farming just to farm gets redundant when there is no craftable/health-beneficial payoff.
Notch confirmed that we were getting pumpkins and mellons that grow on a stem, and that's great, but it's a meager addition (not that I won't take it, just would like more!) considering all that could be added. He also confirmed, via images, giant mushroom biomes... I can only hope that they don't allow you to make larger quantities of soup...
Yeah minecraft does lack the farming aspect and would be nice if we could have apple trees etc. There is a farming update coming out soon so maybe they will include more fruits and veggies. With the rum you could use it 3 times (3 sips) and if you drank it all in rapid succession you would take 1 heart less damage for every attack until it wears off.
Yeah, hopefully in 1.8 the game's survival aspects will be more saturated with more survival qualities... (rather than merely adding a full-on rpg twist to minecraft...)
