I would love to see a reflective block. that can be placed on angles like signs so you can...
1. see yourself and others in the reflection
2. light up a cave by positioning mirrors to bounce sun\moon light
3. start fires by converging the reflected light of 3 mirrors on one block
it would probably be too CPU and GPU intensive to really work well. Why do you think most games don't have mirrors, and those that do use them very sparingly. Doom 3 had them only in Bathrooms, and you only really saw one at the very beginning of the game. Portal had the repeating effect when you had 2 parallel portals, but the effect had an adjustable limit (no effect, 1 repeat, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc), plus it was a very small, defined surface area.

Have you seen the reflective water mod? It can make massive reflective surfaces without much lag. I just don't see it as that lag-inducing, but they have been suggested before (many times).
Here is one such topic I have found. I'm not sure if it is the first, there are around 6 pages of mirror threads...
I like mirrors, but they should just show a reflection, not reflect light. Also, endermen should become hostile to them self when they look directly at one (and staring at a reflection of endermen makes them treat it like you are looking at them.

Why does everyone think I don't have an avatar? Is there anyone who can see the one black pixel.
Please click the dragons, they need to grow. Also, my fully grown dragons can be found in my bio.

Yep, have seen it, but it is only a single reflection. I am not sure if there is any place you could go where the reflection reflecting a reflection with this mod. Now imagine a mirrored hallway reflecting itself to the maximum render distance. Now make the outside geometry visible to the reflection...

You could make it have any mirrors in the reflection blank.

Or, like in portal, after a certain number of mirrors it could be blank. You'd still be able to build semi-complex viewing systems, but not have much lag.

Or, it could just not show the mirror after that many reflections. It also should get smaller each reflection.
