Minecraft is a game that stands out above all others, as we all know.
But the exploring, well honestly is kind of dull.
Not boring, but lacking excitment. And somtimes hard to do.
Here are some ideas that may improve and make exploring easier for you explorees!
Map Markers
A pretty simple idea, i think we need some kind of tool that allows you to mark on the map.
For instance, im out exploring and i find a village, i want to come back to this village later so i mark it on the map.
Another example, i want to explore an area quickly and come back home. With the map marker just mark "home" were your map is and you will know where it is.
Oh, and there should also be erasers for the markings also.
How to craft map marker: (S=stick and D=dye. E always= empty space.)
E S E
E S E
E D E
(Note that lapis can also be used as a "dye.")
And the color dye you use is the color of the marker. Red dye= red marker. Green dye= green marker. Ect.
How to craft eraser: (L= leather and W= wool.)

The eraser is a white fabric material. To use the marker or eraser, have it equipped while your map is out. Then just use the curser to guide it. Click to draw/erase.
PROS
Can mark on your map. Makes it easier to go back to previous explored places without getting lost.
CONS
If a another player hands your there map, you will have to erase all there markings. Not such a huge problem.
Improved Boats (for improved ocean exploration.)
Ugh. The boats in this game are just..... unefficent. They crash and constantly brake and theres only room for one player.
My idea on this is making a new kind of boat thats way more efficent. More releastic i suppose.
First of all, more passangers. Not other players, but maybe mobs. Like your horse for instance. There should be another spot on the boat that, yes, an other player can sit and ride on, and you can also leash other animal mobs to it. (Leashes are comming you know, so are horses.)
Example, you put the boat down, and sit in it. You then leash (if it sent leashed already) the animal to the specific part of the boat. It gets in. The end.
This would make it way easier to bring pets with you on your exploration/journey for whatever reasons you would like.
Next idea of this catagory.
This improved boat doesent brake if it hits a surface. This will mean that the boats will need to be built tougher. I will show you what i mean when i talk about crafting.
How to craft "improved boat": (I= iron, WP= wooden plank.)
E E E
W E I
I I I
(The Wooden plank represents the secound seat and the place were you can put the leash.) Notice that its made out of iron so its tougher (but slower) than the average boat. It wont just brake! Oh and you can just mine it with your fist like the other boat.
PROS
Tougher than the other boats. (It cant brake by hitting a suface.)
Can store another player/mob inside passenger seat.
CONS
Slower than the other boat. About 20% slower.
Could be O.P. in online i suppose. Doubtly, but maybe.
If it , for some strange reason,brakes in the middle of the ocean, your mob could be lost (depending on if you can leash mobs in the water.)
Backpack
Simple idea, this idea is for people who would like to carry a chestload of items with them on there exploration. Its just somthing that you put on your chest armour slot (can go ontop of armour) that allows you to carry exactly 27 more items. Very usefull if you want to bring a bunch of items on your journey.
How to craft backpack: (L= leather and C= chest.)
L L L
L E L

A very simple crafting recipe. The backpack is light brown in color and looks.....like a backpack.
PROS
More space for your exploration.
CONS
If you die with all your stuff in your backpack, you could lose all your stuff.
THAT IS ALL FOR NOW BE SURE TO SUPPORT. I WILL ADD MORE (JUST GOTTA THINK OF NEW IDEAS.)
Map markers - Yes. I love it.
Improved boats - Eh...
Backpacks - nopenopenope.
The first two are alright, but the backpacks would be nothing more than overpowered carry-around chests. Though this all falls into the same suggestion, it's still a bit wishlisty and all 3 of those things have been suggested before many times.

What is wrong with my boat idea?
You dont want more passangers?
And whats wrong with the backpack idea?
Yes, you will be carrying alot of stuff, but since its easy to craft, so will your enemies. And if they sont have a backpack, who cares? There fault.
And yes, its redundant i suppose, but neither of these ideas that have already been mentioned have thought about the same way i have.

There is so much wrong in that sentence... Where do I start? You missed the point of what I was saying. It doesn't matter if your enemy can have it, it's overpowered. Period. You already have plenty of carrying space as is.

Hey, you there. Yes, you! Are you thinking about posting a suggestion on the forums anytime soon? If so, please read this before doing so.

Exactly. You can't equate all game balance strictly to multiplayer. Single player can be unbalanced too. The boat idea is okay as long as it is limited to one passenger or a chest. Map markers are good but as someone said all of this has been suggested a ton of times before.

Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding with boat idea.
And i dont see how backpacks are overpowered. All they are is usefull for people who want to bring MORE with them.
Some people (like myself) make a journey out of exploring. I literly pack as much as i can. Beds, cobblestone, ect.
It could be a very handy tool in case you ever decided you wanted to re-locate your current home or base or whatever.
