    Question is..once I DL it how do I access the world? I can't figure it out. Only way I know how to run Minecraft is to Run it from the site.

    Monsters
    - more monsters mode (Fenix)
    - Chains (easier way to catch neutral mobs) (ijffdrie) (EMR's Note: Ropes before chains. Ropes would be so fun. Suspending stuff and attaching stuff. A super-big crafting grid for tying certain knots in rope.)(IJffdrie's note: I was thinking more along the lines of right-clicking to catch something, make the rope/chain act like a leash. Than rightclick somewhere else to attack the other end of the rope/chain.)
    - horse neutral mobs and attachable carriages (Fenix)
    - Aggresive mode (zombies attack certain materials and fight towards light (Fenix)

    Plants
    - more flower colors (IJffdrie) (EMR's Note: More types of flowers, too)
    - fruit trees (ijffdrie) (each fruit tree has one or more fruit filled branch blocks instead of just leaves. rightclicking will cause the fruit to fall off. Fruit can be eaten or used to plant a new tree. Multiple trees: bananas, apples, mango, etc)
    - more weeds (ijffdrie)(barley and corn. Barley for brewing beer, corn has long growth time, but can also be eaten raw)
    - Underground plants, a la seaweed (which would slow people swimming through it) or coral (building material) (ijffdrie)

    Magic (if implemented) (EMR's Note: Anything "Magical" can be attributed to red iron and lightstone.) (IJffdrie's note: except y'know the portal. Magic fits in this game fine in my opinion)
    - capturing a monster (ijffdrie) (EMR's Note: Like, Mind Control? Maybe monsters could be pacified, but I don't want mind control...) (IJffdrie's note: I was thinking more along the lines of cages or force fields or something. Keep a nice collection of monsters. Monsters that are released would be aggressive towards any target, including other monsters)
    - reversing the flow of water (ijffdrie) (EMR's Note: I would much prefer the ability to simply create pressure.)
    - lightblade (ijffdrie)(takes lightstone dust, makes your blade emit light like a torch) (EMR's Note: How about entire sets of armor and weapons craftable with lightstone in the empty spaces of a 3x3 grid, which applies light-emission to whatever type of armor/weapon you are crafting)

    Terrain
    - A ruins biome (set list of standard buildings/farms/roads, remove 50% of the blocks at random from any spawned building, than remove anything not connected to the ground) (ijffdrie) (EMR's Note: Should also have above-ground dungeons and loot in them.) (ijffdrie's note: @EMR Maybe that'd fit better in another biome?)

    Items
    - placing a weapon on the wall (ijffdrie) (EMR's Note: Perhaps a craftable Wall Mount that can have any item mounted on it?)
    - two furnaces next to each other become a large furnace, which melts two things at once (ijffdrie) (EMR'S Note: Furnace + Furnace + Furnace -> Forge would be cool)
    - a ball of yarn (fenix)
    - Drawbridge (ijffdrie) (EMR's Note: This, along with plenty more doorway-like craftables, such as revolving doors, windows that open/close, sliding glass doors, garage doors, etc.)
    - A bigger ship with cargo capacability and less crashing damage (ijffdrie) (EMR's Note: Steerable using helm/wheel, customizable, implement wind that can be used with sails, etc. I feel like a pirate.) (Ijffdrie's note: I don't think the steering wheel would be handy with the small minecraft seas. I was thinking more along the lines of a small fishing ship (3x2x2)) (IJffdrie's note: I got a good idea. How about a 'hull' building material, that is placed on water and floats and anything placed on top of it floats as well. Add a way to pilot it, and you can build anything from ships to floating cities
    - Better sign control and bigger signs and iron sign engraving (EatMeReturns)
    - Light switches (Fenix)
    - Projectiles (EatMeReturns) (EMR's Note: Cannons would be pretty sweet. And I don't think they would be too hard. I'm not so sure about guns.) (Ijffdrie's note: While the setting does seem to be set in a more modern age, I am hoping for catapults and ballista's)
    - Tier 2+ Items (Takaim) (Items that require crafted items to be combined. Takaim's example was a bulldozer that would require certain pieces {wheel, etc.} to form the whole vehicle.)(EMR's Note: I combine a pick... with a shovel... TO MAKE A PICK MATTOCK!)(ijffdrie's note: I am not really sure about this idea, seems a bit high tech. Maybe something less advanced than a bulldozer, like a mule with a cart. Or a way to make tnt more accesible instead.)
    - Flags and banners (portraying a small image. Cool for inside castles)(ijffdrie)

    Takaim, you gotta unzip the file, then move it to your saves folder under the folder .minecraft under your application data (on vista). Make sure you don't replace a world save you already have! Simply change the number at the end of the top file name (i.e. World 3) to whichever save slot you want it to be in.

    Also, you can run into 'slow sand' at whatever speed and not bust up your ship.

    Yeah, that would be sweet for me.

    Except that I first entered the nether during a version were slow sand was accidently replaced with gravel. Have yet to find any.

    How do you find the nether/nexus?

    Still no lanterns... better make a **** ton of torches now! Does anyone know if torches in you inventory will turn into lanterns; or just those that have been already placed? Can you knock down and pick up lanterns or do they break?

    I'm guessing: "??? It's not out yet."


    I'm so glad to see the game that has kept me away from these forums and SC2 is being discussed here.

    I'd like to add to Tier 2+ Items.
    Small Aircraft- It can't hold cargo, but is a speedy way to get a nice birds eye view over the land. This craft should be built from multiple parts as suggested with the bulldozer.
    I would like to add that these tier 2 machines not be powered with coal. I'd prefer them to be powered by a new resource block, oil.

    Addition to block types:
    Oil

    It powers tier two machines and is most commonly found under sea. It may be found under solid ground, but less often. Oil is inserted into a tier 2 machine and burns like a furnace. As long as the tier 2 machine is "burning" it has power; aka the player has control over it. (Yes, I think a plane should crash to death if it runs out of oil midair.)


    /signed on all ideas presented

    P.S. Iffy, google apples and golden apples in minecraft. :p

    I can see oil for sure, gathered with a bucket.

    I don't really see a plane through, sorry :|

    To enter the Nether, you need 14 blocks of Obsidian and a lighter. Stack the obsidian in a rectangle 4 wide and five tall, then light that mothersucker. BAM baby you're in hell.

    Hmmm.

    Maybe a hang glider type thing would fit more, but I still don't really see it.

    I just want hang gliding sheep tbh.

    I can see hot air balloons. That would be so sick. Especially for multiplayer.

    You're just chillin', building your house, when a looming behemoth of a bubble emerges from the fog and gently touches down next to you. A man dressed in solid diamond steps out, studies you, and promptly leashes you with a chain. The strange man steps back in to his balloon and begins to start it up. You continue to stare in awe. Just as the balloon is filled, it suddenly dawns on you. He turns and looks at you as the balloon begins to lift, then attaches the other end of the chain to the side of his basket. He is out of reach before you can react. You stand there, frantically running around, pitifully unable to save yourself from this demise. The chain lifts you off your feet, and you dangle helplessly from the basket. A single-pixel tear rolls down your cheek as you watch your home, the familiar hills, and the trunk-less trees disappear in to the fog.

    Several minutes pass by. You decide to visit the restroom while you await your demise. You come back, wiping some of the hand-washing water missed from the hasty dry on your pants, and find yourself floating above what appears to be a massive, calm, black sea. The balloon drops lower and you can see more detail: It is literally an open plain of solid obsidian, stretching as far as your Normal view range vision can see. Wonderment is all you can feel until you notice a sudden drop off in the land. A massively-tall cliff enters your sight, and the balloon begins to descend. Long after the lip of the cliff disappears in the fog, you can see the ground. Several heads turn to watch your landing. The people begin to swarm beneath you, chasing the balloon. Dozens of players assimilate you as you touch the ground. You are dragged along through the players, bounced about with physics glitches. You manage to look up at the basket. The diamond-coated man watches you for a moment, then breaks the chain with a gleaming diamond blade. You come to a halt amid a mass of stick-limbs and square bodies. The balloon floats up in to the fog. You are stranded amid strangers.
