What is minecraft missing

Some way to armor a house or something. Three ingots of iron vertically makes 4 plate of armor plating that you apply similar to a ladder or painting
I'd like a challenge mode, where you're assigned tasks to complete and rewarded for doing so.
Like, the task is "create a house made of bricks and wooden planks with dimensions of 10x10x5", and as a reward, a chest is added containing some of the standard goodies you may find in a dungeon chest (special items, ores, materials etc).
I suppose the hard part of this is programming what a "house" is.
Other than that, I'd like to see a use for gold beyond making pimp armour and golden blocks.

I think it needs more block types, simply for cosmetic variation, the ability to turn dye into paint and change the color of wood, stone, and the like.
It also needs to change the terrain generation so that the terrain features are much larger. Imagine if you could have mountains 3x as big as they are now, it would make for more interesting build spots and more fun exploration. Though the height cap would have to be raised.
Larger biomes, so that you can have one biome as far as the eye can see, which would be cooler than trying to build a pyramid in a tiny patch of sand. And an ocean biome, since there is no way to build cool stuff in the water.
Better combat. Perhaps some sort of basic hack and slash type thing where you can mix up light and heavy attacks and do combos. Although you would need much better mob AI for that.

Go to Appdata/.minecraft/saves, and copy/paste your save file from the folder to your desktop or somewhere convenient. BAM! Instant backup.silver wolf009 said:
Also, this [http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=80644] mod looks very interesting...
An actual coder.
In the past, I typically just ignored everyone's complaining about Notch, writing it off as typical internet whining.
But, his somewhat awkward attitude toward the community aside, I've come to the unfortunate realisation that the man cannot code. He's a brilliant designer, but he really needs to leave the bulk of the coding to others. The moment you look at any of the deobfuscated code floating around, you will immediately understand - it's held together with the coding equivalent of chewing gum, paperclips, and duct tape.
And god forbid you actually try to DO SOMETHING with the code. The main APIs that have been developed are missing key features simply because the code of the actual game is so incredibly badly written. It's just cobbled together with no regard for future development, bug-fixing, or modification. It's no wonder that it takes him so long to fix things and add new features.
At this point, I honestly think the best use of the team's time would be take a month or two to rewrite the engine from scratch to create a cohesive and extensible base to work off of.

I bought it when it was $10 and I've always thought it was worth much more, but I guess that's my opinion. The cool thing about Minecraft is he'll keep adding stuff until nothing or very little is missing, and you'll never have to pay another cent.TestECull said:
Uh... i hate to be "that guy", but almost everything you people have just said is already in existence on the completed mods thread of the minecraft forums...
Aeroplanes... check
Horses (flying and pack horses as well)... check (Mo'creatures- now 1.3_01 compatible!)
the rest of Mo'creatures
minecart systems... check
EVERYTHING ELSE... check
it all works fine. quit whining about the install process and go install them.

a friend list so you can join a friend in single player and if its someone you hate you can just remove them, and if you could make a setting so if i build a house on MP someone wont run up and pull it all down, i know there's a door lock and a chest lock but there needs to be more than that.
