Now that Notch has added in new capes including the christmas special cape (automatic upon entering minecraft) i got instant inspiration for this topic.
Cape Award System :
Doing things in Minecraft will award you with new capes to select from depending on what you do and the game will alert you when a cape is awarded, like "Cape Awarded!". To see your new cape you have to exit to the main menu and go into options, then select the "Capes" button. A Pop up screen will come up and show images of all your capes so you know what they look like. All you have to do is click the cape and it will be worn into minecraf. A cape that is faded out is one not yet awarded, hover over it with your mouse to see how to earn it. Some capes might be secret and not say how you can earn them, making them either rare or have a special design on them. Capes are permanantly stored in your account so when you get a cape you can use it any time you want. Some capes may only be earned once in a lifetime or once in a year.
Specific Cape Ideas :
Capes earned for buying the alpha or beta version of minecraft. Playing minecraft online or a certain amount of times or for an amount of time like hours or so. Playing minecraft on a holiday like halloween or easter. Mining a certain material on minecraft or finding one like mushrooms or pumpkins. Capes earned for creating a profile on minecraft forums or for going to notch's dev. blog. Killing a certain type of monster a certain amount of times. Crafting special types of items.
Some other capes may be earned by doing something multiple times :
Kill 50 monsters in minecraft Hunt 5 pigs. Craft 3 loafs of bread. Play minecraft for one hour for 3 days.
This could be like an achievment system like on Xbox or Playstation.
I really love this idea and i think many minecrafters would go nuts for something like this.
Reply with your own say on if this should be so and add your own cape award ideas or designs.
Please keep this post going!
MINECRAFT FOREVER!
Um how about no?
Capes should be like your skin, you should be able to reskin to what ever you like, when ever you like. capes should be there initially or with some sort of other one time achievement
I do not like the idea of needing oxygen tanks for the differant levels of the mountains, and the fatigue factor is really quite silly, instead it should work like this, because Notch said he is adding sprinting in the adventure update, all fatigue can be put on to the new running feature, instead of normal walking. In real life one would not need oxygen at 8000 meters and even then its usually unnecessary up over 10,000 meters (mount everest) , if you are not doing some sort of race at that altitude, and the heat factor would take place 2-4 kilometers below the earths crust, not higher, and even then most of the time it would just induce sana like conditions. .
I personally have done a marathon at 3000 meters, and while I was impaired in speed, it was still possible, and not as hard as you would think, and dont think this is the only thing wrong with your suggestions, you need to look a lot of things up, and think about what would be FUN.
1: Plazmatic.
2: Describe in a couple of words what a "moon hole" is (in terms of minecraft). used to refer to holes that creepers make that are generally unpleasant to look at.
3: What role do beds fulfill on this server? they set your spawn
4: What should you do when you chop down a tree? get rid of the leaves and chop down entire tree
After a very successful start we're ready to recruit a few more people.
We are a very new, very small and very close community who enjoys Minecraft. We've been playing together for the last couple of days, trying to shape our world. As of right now we have a few people white listed and all of them are active.
We've decided to recruit a few more people and we're going to do it the same way as we did it last time: Only the best applications will go through!
[-] Map created: 26th June 2011
[-] 24/7 Uptime - Not down unless for an update!
[-] Pure survival - Stay alive and be careful
[-] Item spawning? You wish. Gather everything yourself!
[-] Griefing is a thing of the past. The tough application process will limit the possiblity.
[-] Slots: 15 - Applications are not always successful so this will not necessarily max out.
[-] Whitelist: Check.
Who needs iConomy, NPC's and shops? What happened to the good old style of gathering and building, plain and simple. Any plugins used will be for protection and upkeep of the server as well as any that could assist in the future.
[-] Griefing is disallowed for obvious reasons.
[-] No need to cheat or glitch
[-] Everybody is an equal player, no need to disrespect others.
[-] Ranks are not important, you don't need to beg for one!
[-] Mature language is allowed but use common sense before you type.
[-] Nobody likes floating leaves!
Of course you should know all of these already. If you plan on causing trouble then you can find another server.
If you have any questions feel free to ask questions on Skype. Paranut's username is Zjapper.
You can also post here or PM either of us (profile links below.) Paranut or Opeth
I indeed looked at yours, but then I saw you are only recruiting europeans.
I would consider my self a good builder I am 16, and have been playing minecraft for 1.5 + years. I've been looking for a build server that does not have spawned items and is mainly vanilla for a long time, with a dedicated community with people usually on. I am also willing to work on building for servers, like cities and towns, as long as I am required to NOT use world edit.
I need a good build server, I prefer a decent size one (one that has at the least around 32 people on 90% of the time) is not laggy, do not care if it has a whitelist or not, can get items easily, (ie spawn or some kind of easy economy thing) but can handle it if there are not such servers, and has mining as the main source of resource extraction.
In game Name(Case Sensitive): Plazmatic
Where are you located?: US
What is your age?: 16
Minecraft Experience: appx. Approx 1.5 year
Reason(s) you should be Accepted: I need a build server badly, I went to Averad, but that place is really laggy.
Will you be using our Ventrilo Voice Server?: Ventrilo sucks, get a Teamspeak server.
Did You and Can you Vote for us Regularly?: Yes
All of us have seen those awesome mods, but you need to know java. With my suggestion modding is easier!
It is Minecraft modding toolkit. Includes many tools that can help you in many aspects.

Damage capacity: How much damage can the item get untill it breaks.
Base power: The amount of damage tool gives to block
Stackable: Can the block get stackable?

This is more interesting I think. But it is simple again.
Model editor: Yes Everyone will love it. It is model editor. You edit models like in Omen or Worldcraft (VHE, or Valve Hammer Editor). After the model parts are finished you can animate them. Each animation called different. Nothing interesting about the values.
NPC/Mob editor: The mob editor.

Gamemode Editor: Editor of gamemodes. You can script gamemode, so I don't have any ideas to make it more simple.
Map Editor (for dungeon and levers mode): You can make a map, like you do in VHM. Adding entities also works the same way as in VHM.
Edit1(I forgot it to include) Generator and Realms editor: You give a way to enter the realm, and edit terrain generator. You may add the objects like dungeons to generator code!
Java isn't that hard, and this is oversimplification. the parameters required to edit those are fairly easy to find and edit. This would be a waste of time for notch, but if a modder is willing to do this, then be my guest.
