This is so far my plan. In fact, I've started working on this mod. Sorry for the color coding... You know.. sometimes your just too lazy. Anyway, this mod will be showing snipbits of it, and you may try it out for your self. Please post suggestions, but they better not add any items/blocks/mobs. If anything it may be death animations, but right now I'm going to focus on weather. Then I will focus on more realism. Don't flame. And I will update this mod regularly. Please feel free to follow this! This topic will be edited many time to improve looks and over all performance. If you wish to work with me, great. I'f your good with coding too, I'll like that!

Don't forget to like this so people can see!
I'd like this to be the "OFFICIAL" thread.
Here are some mods I've found that don't change the game drastically;

Matmos
Created by Hurricaaane
A very nice mod. It adds realistic sounds to the game depending at your current value. If your high up, we may here howling winds or if your near an ocean you may here waves and seagulls. This adds no new blocks or items. In fact it doesn't replace any items in the Minecraft.jar... Also works on any server you join!


Inventory Tweak
Created by jimeowan
This makes your inventory much, much more easier to use. With a click of a button, ('R') it sorts out your inventory and chests. When your tool runs out, it will change it with another one with a single click with a button. This may also work on any multiplayer server you join! It might even give you an advantage.

Optifine
Created by sp614x
This mods helps you out when you have lag. Or if you have a slow computer. Where as I don't, I just like all the stuff that comes with it. You can have a linear or rough blur to things far, clear water, connected textures, better grass, and a lot more. This also helps out with your slow or bad graphic card computers!

Zombie Dismemberment
Created by ichun
Really nice mod for fun but also realism, or not. This mod makes that, when you kill a zombie, they break apart or 'blow up'. This is ragdoll physics, so they don't die the same every time. Always different. For you blood lovers... It now has blood features. Only on flesh based mobs such as Zombies. Skeletons and creepers "break" and some new features! Worth to take a look at.

GROOVE Mod
Created by KodaichiZero
Well, not really a mod that makes minecraft "realistic" but it doesn't add anything into and wont destroy your saves. It makes mobs, and people dance. Yes, dance. There are different types of dances, and I guess it can be good for Movies and stuff if you want people dancing. Doesn't replace stuff, but adds animations.

Smart Moving
Created by Divisor
This doesn't add anything but some great moves and animations. Not only does it add new (E.G.) Swimming animations and flying/falling, but it lets you crawl through tight spaces, or climb blocks that are more than one block tall. It can work on some multiplayer servers and you can sprint faster/jump higher if server is not a bukkit server. However some animations and controls can be very buggy for special maps or obsticals. By this I mean that if your trying to swim up a waterfall you might have to try a few times to get up since of the controls.


Thebombzen's Mods
Created by Thebombzen
A very interesting mod. It really helps newer players or people who really get confused when playing. This mod will automatically switch to the specific tool in hand. By this, I mean, If your mining some stone, and some dirt gets in your way, if you have a shovel it will automaticaly switch to it. This works as well when fighting mobs. This can also be a very good "hack" or give you somewhat of an advantage on SMP, since you can always be ready so you don't use your diamond pickaxe on a player trying to kill you. It also comes with MobAura that automaticly switches to your weapon if a mob is near by. This nice things about this mod, is that it can be turned off and turned on in-game without having to mess with anything in the "Jar" files. I personally don't use this. Don't ask me why...

ScrollableControls
Created by North101
A very "Nifty Fifty" Mod. If you have a lot of mods that add new controls to the game, but you can't read or configure them since they roll off the page or you just can't simply see them, this simply lets you scroll and see them more easily. I can't really say anything but it's a mod that you install when your installing more than one mod. Nothing to get to excited about.

2-D Craft Mod
Created by LetsReadThisBook
This cool mod makes your minecraft like the game "Terraria". It's a world option you get when starting a new game. It goes well with the Minecraft Terraria Texture pack. It's just a world option, it wont screw your saves and it just is something cool to have in your game.

Timber Mod
Created by TehKrush
Don't you just hate it when you're cutting down a HUGE tree and you have to pillar up to get the hidden wood in the leaves, well this is most likely the mod for you. When you cut the base of the tree all the logs fall down. Less uses with your axe! Nothing new, but, It's good for people who hate having to cut trees down.

In-Game Info
Created by DaftPVF
It's simply a good mod to keep track of everything. Works on multiplayer too! Simply it tells you your current light level, time of day, XP, and more. This is really helpful when your trying to figure out what day it is, or where mobs can spawn.

Rei's Minimap
Created by ReiFNSK
Probably the best Mini-map mod out there. Completely customizable without having to go and use the config menu. Just with the click of a button. Set waypoints, find caves and heat levels. Find mobs or see chunks. Works on multiplayer too! I generally have it off when I'm on a SSP, since it's Vannila, but, on SMP... Gives you an advantage too...

Superfalt ++
Created by Glought
When building in superflat you might have come across this problem:
There's only three blocks deep. This sucks if your trying to hide redstone or building some sort of bunker/basement. Or maybe you wish the ground was made of sandstone for you redstone lovers! Well this is simply a user friendly way to change what superflat is made of and hight. Kinda of what they have added into 1.4, but more user friendly.

Sound Pack
Created By Xamio
Tired of the minecraft sounds. Or are you a person who really likes the old minecraft sounds. Maybe you like Zelda or Skyrim Music. This mod is great! It is a simple to install mod that adds a button (Just like the texture pack button) but for sounds. Want some Oblivion Sounds/Music, just click and you got it! Want to hear the good 'ol retro minecraft sounds, you got it! I use this because sometimes I get bored of the minecraft sounds, or when I film a movie. Another thing great about it, it's very user friendly! You don't have to go into the .minecraft folder and replace/delete files, and when you want the original sounds, you have to reinstall all the minecraft again!




That's all I use. Feel free to add your own mods like these. They must, however, be updated to the most recent version of Minecraft, or at least is a mod that is updated regularly, (nothing from 1.4 or like that) (8/10/2012 = 1.3.1)

-Alaskafish
Makes textures for mods, makes machinimas, makes mods, and more.

Alright. This is the Official topic for Mods that don't add new blocks or items, or anything to be in fact. A lot of people really like vinnilla but then like realism, like me. I like minecraft to be as if it was a real survival game, and also minecraft its self. Most mods are popular and add a lot of content to the game such as new ores, weapons, or even planes which is fun for some time, but then get's boring. I have a world just for my vinnilla world. I wish it was realistic, in fact, I made my own texture pack than made the game (still 16x16 bit) more realistic!
So Add your mods that don't add anything into the game. If you are confused read the example: Some mods add Biome water, and sand, and stone (but not updated to minecraft most resent version). Or lets you sit in chairs by right clicking them (no new block).
After we get lots and lots of comments of the mods that don't really change your game, I'll create a mod pack, and put all your names (and the owners) for the makers. Sorry, I mainly will give credit to the mod makers, but then you and me will go.

Please stay on topic, it's fine about discussion, but try not flame about why some mods are better than others.

Add your list. If I think it is worthy on being on this list, I'll add it! Thank you for your contribution.

Great! Only one problem. Have they over done everything? I feel like they removed something from minecraft. Could it be that trip wire's and hooks are 64 bit instead of 16 bit? Or maybe the incredibly easy way of enchanting. Or could it be that you get XP from smelting or mining. I honestly think, they're changing the game a bit too much. For example, the enchanting thing: If you going to lower the XP limit, don't add XP drops when mining or smelting. Or if you keep XP at 50, you can add that.

Don't say that I'm raging. I just feel that they are changing too much that don't fit minecraft, or ruin game play. Trading, you can get the chain mail and potions of enchanting, but I think they added too much things that ruin minecraft game play.

Is there anymore? I'd really like that.

wrong section... and no... I'm not going to waste my time for your mod. Sorry. Why not you learn coding.

I like the music. I'm glad they didn't add rock-n-roll or even jazz. The Music they have now is relaxing. It makes me feel very lonely. It reminds me of the calm ocean and the crystal lake shining with the sunset. Only thing I do not like about it is that it is very random. Now many can agree with this. It plays when ever. So I'll be in a cave with no torches, with 3 creepers about to explode and I'm drowning in lava and it will start to play. That scenario is not (and never will be) relaxing. I do REALLY hate it when it plays in the nether. I have no idea why I hate it, but it just doesn't seem so nice. The Nether is the Minecraft Hell... Why would there be Harps, and Violins playing beautiful solos and songs. I think Minecraft should keep the songs and probably add a few new ones. I would also like if they add those incredible loops. If you do not know what a loop is: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Loops
That should be Notches and Jebs main thing they should be doing. I would love to walk near an ocean and hear the waves crashing on my feet, or the birds chirping in the near by forest. They should also create a Nether song. So a scary song that would only be played in the nether. Other wise, I just love the Minecraft Music

lol...
A seed manager for money?
On a phone.

no thanks :/

Agreed

Quote from chessandgo

cool , but really , really ,i mean , i dont needan app for that , if i am correct you can download iphone app onto mac and run in an emulater, or such , and i find this obsolete considering terrain post 1.7.3 , (rip Gargamel)

Whats,up,with,your,commas?

I'm sorry to say this, cause at first I really liked it... But right now it's become an unregulated mess, where everyone posts the most mundane and boring run-of-the-mill seeds you've ever seen.

Also, it seems the people that are submitting the seeds either know NOTHING of Minecraft or are EXTREMELY new to the game.

People are taking pictures of their monitor screens with an external camera (you can imagine how crappy that looks) instead of taking in-game pics... People are digging out old Beta 1.7.3 seeds out of Google from what it seems to look cool or whatever (seeds that obviously will never work on the currrent MC version) and then posting their Youtube channels to get hits....

For this to work:

1) Seeds need to be regulated so that they conform to at least a certain level of quality and tested before they go in the app to tell if they are legit.
2) The spam needs to be controlled, as it is right now you can see miles of people just spamming AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA in the comments like retards.
3) Seeds need to be able to be classified by game version, as it is, you can't tell what version they are for.
4) Some standards need to be enforced, like freaking coordinates! People just say "kul seeeed I's foundzz!" And a bunch of pics of the monitor with random areas you can't tell how to see or get to...

All in all, I'm happy I tried it out with Installous before I wasted my money on it...

If it gets better, I'll definitely buy, but as of now, the forums are a MUCH better source for seeds.

This reads like a very bad infomercial. Shameless.

worthless app. waste of money. just someone trying to mooch off of all the younger kids that play this game.

Seed: Alaskafish

The seed Alaskafish may interest you a little better. From the spawn head straight south, through the mountains until you come to the ocean. The mountains there are kinda short. The Plains NPC village is nearby to the east right along the coast.

I'm getting tired of seeing the same statement over and over again. Yes, we realize that modern things don't fit in the game. Yes, we realize that you are a very witty person for thinking up how a ridiculous scenario that wouldn't even be programmed in the first place would make it impossible for you to play.

The idea of this thread was to make a suggestion as to what Minecraft really doesn't need. Kudos to people who suggested handing Minecraft over to a large company and rewriting the game code in C++ because those suggestions are probable causes of potential problems with the game.

You can't really ruin the game, aside from making it less accessible to customers.

Quote from WoodPlanking

Yeah. I don't play games like that. My friend got in an argument with me about it a couple of days ago.

Me: All the "MW3" And "COD" games are the same.
Him: No. ____ Has Zombies!
Me: Wow. THAT Is SOOOOO cooool. I Never KNEW. That makes it soooo different.


Him: Minecraft SUCKS!
Me: Why?
Him: 'Cause it is.

Woulda been funnier if that second convo was:
Him: Minecraft SUCKS!
You: Why?
Him: 'Cause it has zombies.
You: -.-
