different types of dog, like the different types of cat

- Vertical Slabs, totally possible to do and would really change how houses and stuff look.

- More natural mobs like other bears, squirrels, stingrays, sharks, other ambient creatures.

- Seasons that change the color of the leaves and bring snow into areas that normally don't get snow, have the snow melt after the season ends.

- More tree types and variety of tree shapes.

- Dynamically connected textures so things blend on the edges.

- Actual font support that doesn't use a texture map but instead a font file like .ttf.

- Remove phantoms in favor of a sleep debuff that affects your mining speed, movement speed, etc... A better reason to actually go sleep.

- Giant AI added back.

- More metal types like bronze.

- More enchantments and a higher level cap for items.

- More bosses, not sure what kind or how they'd work but some extra bosses would be fun. Even a mini-boss that is just a tougher meaner version of a current mob.

- Better End Cities. The current is more like End outpost, I want to see like an ender village but big enough to be called a city.

- Mycelium villages, and village types for each biome.

- More food options like new crops, new craftables like sandwiches. Why can't I take bread and meat and put them together?

- Ability to dye all armor types! I get tired of the same old diamond armor look, give us some flavor.

- Dyeable water. Maybe I am working on a build and I want my water to be a toxic looking green. Not sure how you would limit this so players aren't just dying entire oceans but this would be pretty neat.

- Glowstone Slabs

- Honestly just about everything could use a slab and stair version of it. Imagine the options for roofing colors with concretes.

I'll leave the list at this but yea, this is what I want in Minecraft.

P.S.

- Higher resolution player skins, at least give us 16x16, current is basically 8x8.

Honestly, more weird things. Less adding endangered or cute animals just for the sake of them being in the game without much thought put into what they do. Don't get me wrong, I am not against the addition of dolphins, pandas, foxes, polar bears, turtles, and the rest, but they don't add much. Bees, however, are a fantastic addition. I love the honey block and it's characteristics, and I also love how the bees behave, although this is a fantastic time for Mojang to add wax, wax blocks, and candles. Obviously wax would be obtained from honeycombs.



But the biome votes are not helping, 3 features per choice is not enough for a good update, especially not if the mobs added don't do much at all; The vulture seems cool, but if all it does is hover above dropped items, then it shouldn't be in the game. But what on earth would the frog do?! Provides noises to make the swamp seem more swampy? Ambience is not something that the swamp needs. This is somewhat off-topic, but a Minecraft sheep has more features than the individual mobs from the biome votes!



But it all lacks what the game was receiving when Markus Persson was still developing Minecraft; weirdness. Remember the Far Lands? That would be a brilliant re-addition to Minecraft, now that we can actually get there in less time than it would have taken when is was still in the game. Imagine how cool that would be to go on an expedition to the edge of the world by Elytra or Nether portals, when you see a vast cliff, the Far Lands, filled with zombie, skeletons, creepers, and the rest.



Weird terrain generation in general would be really neat to see. How about that extremely rare randomly generated pillar in alpha 1.1.2 that AntVenom showed back in 2016? That would be fun to see in more recent versions. Or how about finding a randomly generated pit down to bedrock? Weird things are fun to come across when it's part of the world and not a sudden glitch like a chunk error.



I can recall binge watching Herobrine "encounters", and I remember being in awe of believing something like that being in the game, but not many people have seen it. Of course I was saddened by the discovery that it is all fake. However, it would be incredible to get that same awe when actually playing and experiencing it for yourself.



Secret Friday updates with quirky things would be neat to see make a return, except with no changelog provided until the next Friday or next secret update. Wouldn't it be incredible to start up Minecraft one day and run around exploring only to find a peculiar new mob that watches you from a distance with no mention of it being added? Or to discover a new wood type that only generates at extremely high altitudes in mountain biomes? How about a secret Halloween/Friday the 13th update that suddenly adds a reverse thunderstorm, in which the lightning plunges the world into absolute darkness for a brief moment, and the thunder producing a piercing high pitched sound, or no sound at all, and rain that flies from the surface to the clouds, but it only occurs during Halloween or a Friday the 13th?



The nether update looks fantastic and very bizarre, which is good, but I feel like Mojang is being far too open about the update.



Also sorry for the wall of text, I just wanted to get my opinion out there.


TL;DR #1: Minecraft lacks the quirkiness it needs, at least in my opinion.







Edit #1: Another TL;DR at the bottom of this wall of text, as well.



Minecraft is also currently lacking implementation of mods and actual good (although rather far-fetched) ideas. Pistons used to be a mod, a very unique one, at that, and now it's in the game. It changed the game for the better! Wall blocks used to be an idea, and it was added! I'm pretty sure rivers also were just a player's idea at one point, and now we have them (they still could use work, though...)!



The point I'm trying to make is that player feedback actually did something. Now Minecraft is trying to go in 3-4 different directions at once.



Imagine how much different Minecraft would be if Mojang actually listens to the community, and adds what Markus Persson actually wanted to add before he decided it was his time to quit. Remember the Zipline mod? Imagine how cool that would be in vanilla Minecraft! Or Clouds that don't actually go through mountain peaks! Localized weather! Seasons! All things that feel Minecrafty!



TL;DR #2: Adding in community ideas.

sideways slabs. i mean come on mojang. XD

Owls would be a nice addition, even if they were purely aesthetic like bats.

more dimensions

vertical slabs

Personally I think that there should be Piglin Villages in Nether Forests.

I have a lot of ideas. I'll break them up into sections.


Biome Updates/Mobs:

Swamps:

-Alligators or Crocodiles
-Frogs (already confirmed to be worked on)
-More mushrooms
-Moss
-Mud
-More flowers

Forests:

-Bears (grizzly and black)
-Owls
-Coyotes (would be tamable, for more kinds of dogs)
-Boars
-Bushes
-Rocks
-More flowers
-More mushrooms
-Flamingos (near water)
-Snakes (they're sometimes in forests, right? is that a thing?)

Jungles:

-Gorillas
-Better trees
-Hippos
-Tigers
-Lions
-Monkeys


Under Water Updates/Mobs:

-Sharks
-Whales
-Crabs
-Lobsters
-Hermit Crabs + Placable shells
-Octopuses
-Ridable ships
-Cannons
-Shrimp
-Seahorses
-Eels


Items/Edibles:

-Spears
-Gloves
-Torches that glow when held
-An item resizing device
-Shrimp
-Apple pie
-Golden apple pie
-Pears
-Oranges
-Pineapples
-Medicine

Mythical Mobs:

-Mermaids
-Sirens
-Werewolves (Villagers and Pillagers would sometimes become them at night)
-Mummies (Found in desert temples, rare)
-Seabeast (Basically my name for the Ocean Man)
-Yetis

two words, gamers.

vertical. slabs.

Apple Pie comes to mind. Love more food items in general. I remember when Jeb mentioned Corn in the 1.9 snapshot days.

Loot chests scattered about Ocean Monuments is a concept I always liked, but it may be a tad redundant with the Ocean Ruins today.

Outside of that, the strive to get most game elements running through datapacks is something I'm absolutely for. I've already dried myself of advancements, loot tables, recipes- I've only major structure reworking (I've only so rebuilt the Pillager Outpost for a cleaner approach) and block drops.

For the moment, I would adore villager trade support. I also heard world generation support is something that's being poked at and that just gets me going ^^

player temperature in cold biomes u need fire , lava , clothes and keep moving to not freeze and in hot biomes u need to swim to cool down also weather and time of day affects temperature too it would make survival more challenging

other ideas:
Netherrack Bricks
Bone Tool And Armors
Bone Door and Bone Ladders
