So I just have 2 suggestions. The first is very simple:
Telescopes! Nothing fancy and there only needs to be one type. I had an Engineering Paly on WoW and the telescope was the most useful item I could make. I just want an item I can make and then simply equip and get a closer look at far-away objects. Perhaps the Devs can elaborate like making a basic telescope and another that gives zoom levels.
My friend that I play with and I will try custom seeds in creative mode and find maps we like before making it in survival on our server. I would like to see an option where I can just use a random seed (not custom) and then have an option of land type like lots of islands (archipelago), arid, dense forest, rocky, etc. This came to me when I was starting a game of Civilization.
I think these would be excellent additions because the first item would only encourage people to explore more. The second item would allow players old and new to tailor their experience more to their liking; it wouldn't detract because it would be an option that's not required to use.
I'm sure a zoom would be a mod idea. I mean, vanilla, it doesn't really fit...
There are mods that specify generation, I'm sure, but the reason it's random in vanilla is that it's random! You don't know what you're going to get. People have seeds, you can use those to get what you want.
Other VG cats fan off the port bow! That makes...what? Three I've seen including me?
A telescope could be cool, if it had the ability of only one zoom level. I wouldn't wanna have telescopes made of different materials that zoomed further than the weaker material. A wooden telescope and that's all. Could be used for some pretty cool custom map designs.

That's really all I wanted was a single zoom telescope. Some people will say something like it has to have multiple zooms. I wasn't thinking wood though, I was thinking of Iron and either glass or diamonds for the lens. Perhaps a recipe just for the lens and then use those for the final telescope recipe.
Great ideas, the simple telescope would actually fit in as vanilla since it is roughly medieval. You'd have to make it primitive, though.
And I agree with the map generation being like Age of Empires II. There should be a seed generator that lets you make a seed based on stuff like spawn biome, land type, etc. I'd love to have an archipelago map!

True. Iron would make more sense!
Maybe something as simple as this:
I wouldn't want a whole recipe for only a lens, unless the lens would be used for other things as well.
