I had this idea last night, and I thought that it might make Minecraft a bit more challenging. But maybe a bit too hard for the un-experienced player. Literally.
So then. When you make a map, you have the option to have a max weight in your inventory. The starting would be 100. I'm not making anything like 1.7 OZ, because that could get a tad complicated. You could see your max weight and how much weight you have left in the bottom right corner of the inventory screen. When you level up, you would get skill points, and one of he upgrades would be "Max Weight +," and for every upgrade, your max weight would go up by 20, the ultimate upgrade being unlimited, also causing this to appear:

Below I'm going to make a small chart, with just the basic wooden stuff. I'll add more when I can. And equipped armor costs no weight. If you have over max weight, you will slow down by half a second every half of a whole is excess. Example: Your max weight is over flowing by 1.5, you will slow down by a second and a half.

I think the weight limit system is a great idea; although I completely hate it at the same time. It's just an annoyance in other games that have it implemented, and I end up having to dump my whole inventory. But I agree, it would add an extra challenge and require players to watch what they pick up and hold on to the valuables while making more frequent trips back to your base.
I think if he were to ever add a new difficulty like "Realism" or "Hardcore", this would be a Key Feature :biggrin.gif:
And i would love it as an addition to a non-standard difficulty. But for Vanilla minecraft, its a little much. Especially when your trying to build large structures. Constant trips up and down, and back and forth would just get tiresome.

TL;DR: Read it anyway.
