Minecraft is a GREAT game don't get me wrong but it still lacks some features that can ultimately make it a SUPER GREAT GAME.
Some of the features are as follows:
An In-Game Server Hoster
Like how TF2 does it. All you have to do is click "Make a new server" perhaps under the "Multiplayer" menu. How easy would that be? No longer will you have to go and download separate files just to host a two player server. With the new modding API i can only imagine how easier it would be to install mods for multiplayer.
A Friends List
Minecraft gets larger, and larger everyday. How are you supposed to know which server your friends are in when there are literally thousands of servers running each day? A friends list that's how! It's simple. Just like how Steam does it. You can add friends and you can see what they're doing. You can see what server they're on and chat. Wouldn't that be convenient? No more having to change windows to your preferred instant messenger when it's all here. In your favorite game.
An In-Game Voice Chat
Although most of us use Skype for easy communication some of us don't. The voice-chat might seem like a bad idea since there are many under aged players in our community. But a voice chat would be handy. Who has the time to type when being chased by a group of creepers? Maybe only limit voice chat to friends or let the server admin handle it but this has to happen.
A Proper Mod Support
I know that there's a modding API coming soon but I think that adding and installing mods should be as easy as using a texture pack. A click-to-use system where you can choose which mods are used in which save games. Hopefully this gets added.
What other things do you want? Leave your interesting/creative responses below.
I really like the friends list idea! I've always wanted to keep in touch with my Minecraft friends other than just seeing them on my server.
Jeb is also planning on merging Singleplayer with Multiplayer, so you can just invite friends to your world instead of having to set up the files and all of that crap. So your first suggestion could become a reality pretty soon, which is pretty awesome.
