Ok so Minecraft besides the part of creating and destroying anything you want is ridiculously easy. Unless you deliberately take extreme risks there is almost no possible way you can die so here is some ideas (one for now more coming in the following days) to balance the odds against you and make it fun.
Ok so I had an idea that mobs could have AI and I'm going to flesh that out a bit.
1. Mobs know where you when they can see you.
2. Mobs can here you if you are within 5 blocks from them UNLESS you are sneaking because that would be sneaky!
3. If they lose sight of you they still know where you are for 5 seconds.
4. When they don't know where you are they wander aimlessly but don't turn very fast. This is so you can SNEAK up on them and back stab them.
5. When they see you they call their buddies within ten blocks of them and they will know where you are. If know where you are for 6 seconds straight they alert all enemy mobs within 20 blocks of them and for 12 seconds straight 30 blocks of them and so on.
6. Zombies will tunnel through blocks to you if that is the quickest way.
7. Mobs now obviously have pathfinding as they are smarter than a watermelon. (Wolves have it and I have seen a mod that does it so what's the problem Notch? O_O)
8. They can not cross water.
9. If it would take more than 7 minutes to get to you they will spread out along your escape routes to starve you out.
10. Spiders will crawl on walls and ceilings to get you.
11. They will stay .2 blocks away from each other so they don't cluster into say a superzombie that looks like a normal zombie but does a thousand damage.
More ideas coming later: Stuff abides the laws of physics and actually falls, hunger meter reformed, damage reformed, looting corpses, sponges work, zombies can destroy blocks, spiders can climb ceilings, knife, obsidian tools, skeletons leading and arching arrows, more arrows per craft, no airborne crits, farm animals run away, and fire reformed.
Nothing will majorly effect the game(for example guns and grenades) but each small change would make it much more fun.
Feel free to criticize, make your own suggestions, or add new ideas.

[quote=Catelite]Just because you don't understand how something works, doesn't make it broken or pointless. >_<
The laws of magic are absolute. The laws of physics are optional.
I agree, sorry.
How is it too complex besides the strain on the processor?
I thought that was for the villagers and why aren't they hiring customer support!? My account hasn't been working for months! ;(
It's possible, of course, but it would be long and hard to script. A.K.A. never be added unless the whole Mojhang team agrees or something.
