I had a few thoughts on the Sky Dimension and two features that are in the 1.9 prerelease: Mushroom biomes and Mooshrooms.
Essentially, I feel like mushroom biomes and Mooshrooms (mushroom cows) just don't really fit all that well in the semi-realistic normal Minecraft world. However, perhaps they could be added to the Sky Dimension.
If I remember correctly, the main reason that Notch didn't want to add the Sky Dimension to the game when he finished its generation code was that besides it being entirely composed of floating islands, there was nothing really unique about it.
That problem could easily be fixed by simply adding giant mushrooms and Mooshrooms to the Sky Dimension along with some other interesting new blocks and features.
Otherwise, Notch could probably just get away with adding some simple (read: Would take no effort on Mojang's part) things to make the Sky dimension interesting - Add some more exotic-looking plants, add some Pigmen with the same AI as Zombie Pigmen, and perhaps a hostile mob or two along with the mushroom biome stuff and the Sky Dimension could be a very interesting place.
Anyway, what do you think of my ideas? I really think that Notch could make the Sky Dimension a very interesting, unique place with a minimal amount of effort.
WOOT! MORE SHOOTY STUFF!
If Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter were all destroyed, 90% of teens would go insane. If you're one of the 10% that would be laughing at them, copy this into your signature and hope it happens. (Griefing is an art. And a lot of dead creepers.)
Notch thinks the sky dimension is boring? Has he been to the nether?
On topic: I agree, I don't think the big shrooms and mooshrooms belong in the real world. Maybe there could be some kind of special dungeons could be in the sky dimension like in the aether?
YES! I think that would make the sky dimension much more unique, but it still needs more stuff in it too, I also agree that mushroom biomes wouldn't really fit into the Minecraft world, imagine walking through the woods, enjoying the beautiful landscape, you climb a mountain to get a better look, when you find that the ground is grey and covered in giant mushrooms, with red cows with mushrooms growing off of them, you would be all WTF, although it would be funny it still shouldn't happen if Notch adds the sky dimension (he might not). Piggles says yes!

Be caring, please help my dragon hatch by giving him a little click.
While I continue to appreciate that people like my suggestion, I wonder if anyone has some thoughts on this besides that they like it.
Please note that I am not discouraging people from simply saying that they like this idea if they really have nothing else to say. I completely understand that, and they keep this thread bumped.

I think that even this would be better than keeping them in the main world.
Thanks for the support!
