Minecraft is missing the ability to get around the world faster, yes, there are mine carts but I would really like to see are riding animals (the pig doesn't count) and maybe a flying machine of some description.

More Mobs
Silver and Copper
Easier to access multiplayer
Changing Biomes

I could probably come up with more but these are the biggys for me. I love the game though.

It needs a 1:1 of Imperial City.

But for reals, more types of blocks. Like different type of stone, more arrow types and better SMP support.

I concur, there needs to be some sort of a controllable mount for the player.

Uh, I would be wary with the "more mobs" comment. Might I suggest you take a look at Rob Moran's Series "Super Minecraft"?

A map, more uses for gold, a movable spawn point and more practical uses for Red stone dust that aren't just gimmicks.

hmm... Minecraft needs more Dungeon Keeper elements... If you don't know what Dungeon Keeper is, slap yourself.

What I mean is instead of tirelessly building one block at a time, you could instead delete an entire wall of rock depending on your currently equipped device (Pick Axe, Shovel, etc), then replace it with say, Cobblestone. Only an idea, and it would save me time. There are many other elements that could be used from Dungeon Keeper, such as Minions as well, and you could minipulate the skins of the minions *not that different from what you do already with your avatar*, and every bed you build or something else could be considered a "Lair".

If you still don't know what im talking about, go find an extremely old copy of Dungeon Keeper 1 or 2. They were one of the best series in the 90's. You could also find software online probebly using a torrent or 2.

More liquids. Honestly, messing around with Lava and Water are some of the most interesting things in the game. Throw in other stuff with new, interesting behavior, and you would be golden. Also, a destroyed creeper should drop, like, 9 gunpowder, and it should take 1 gunpowder to make TNT. Mineing materials can get very grindy, and blasting makes mining interesting.

Make a portal to the Nether, then make a lighted cobblestone tunnel to another portal(to prevent spawns being able to attack) inside the nether. Each block you pass in the Nether is 16 in the normal world.

On topic, a bazillion more crafting recipies. And probably some more types of rock other than cobblestone.

More crafting. Much more crafting, including full tier two crafting (crafting using all crafted items). And a reason to be there, i.e. a way of stopping mobs spawning in an area, finding snippets of a story, ruined villages etc.

I've not played it for ages and basically won't now until some more stuff gets added.

If the combat were more varied and improved, I might get a bit more out of it.

I know it's been said to death, but Minecraft needs a tutorial.

I think it would also be cool if you found ruins of buildings left behind by another adventurer.

right now the game is just
start a new map -> build a shitty house -> mine far into the ground -> build a better house -> put it on hard mode -> kill shit tons of monsters -> quit for a week or 2 -> repeat


so i would suggest some RPG elements

an economy
what if gold could be smelted down into coins, and somewhere underground you found an old man running a shop that you could buy things at like diamonds, pictures, etc. many old men selling different things each

more dimensional gates like hell, not all of them are hostile

i would love it if magic were added, fireballs that would hurt enemies and light stuff on fire from a distance, ice bolts that would slow enemies and put out fires/lava, lightning that could activate switches and stuff from a distance, teleport back to spawn point.
This.

...

Not much to add then

I think it would be cool to be able to build a 4x4 work surface that upgrades the workbench and allows you to make more complex items.

Some sort of a tutorial or something to make it clearer what to do & more of an objective, I don't want a whole story mode or anything (well I do but...) just like acheivments or goals to get you started or something.

What it definetly doesn't need are captchas, they're terrible

I would like a powered minecart. Not the piece of crap that's on there. I want a minecart that's powered and ride-able. I want to be able to easily stop it and change direction too.
