I don't know about you guys but I think it would be good to be able to craft a pocket or bag or something so your inventory could be larger. Maybe it would add another spot to the hotbar instead of more inventory space.
I noticed, while updating my texture pack, Baldur's Craft, that there is a new UI window called "allitems", which appears to feature some kind of scrollbar. Something like this may already be in store in 1.8, but it hasn't been found yet.
