So as far as I know, Mojang hasn't released any information about the next major Minecraft development. Yesterday I was talking in global about some stuff that I think should be implemented and then we argued about it for a little while. This made me wonder what everyone else thinks Mojang should add to Minecraft to make it more fun. Personally, I think they should add a few new mob types: bears, alligators/sharks, and giraffes/elephants. Each type would be a different hostility, for example, bears would be passive-aggressive like wolves, alligators/sharks would be aggressive, and giraffes/elephants would be passive. Bears would be similar to horses in that any number of types could spawn (brown, black, panda, grizzly, and polar), and like wolves would be tamable, although some would be harder to tame than others. Alligators would be found only in swamp biomes, making them less useless. Giraffes or elephants would complete the balance by being passive mobs and would be found in plains, savanna, and roofed forest biomes. Let me know what you guys think should be added, I'd love to hear from others. Also I didn't know whether to put this in General or Off-Topic so I just decided on General but feel free to move it if you want.
I really don't know what I want but mobs do sound cool... However what I personally want is for them to go into better detail with minecarts. I don't know why, but I think trains are pretty cool. Or better, I think tides would be cool too but only one could dream
Tides would probably be a lot of work for developers and would cause some nasty lag, but I like where you're going with the carts like being able to link carts and such? That seems feasible
Maybe even rails that could help simplify train stations, such as changeable rails that can go in different directions.
Honestly, Mojang needs to do more with that bat type interface. That interface has sooooo much potential and yet we still haven't see anything for two updates ;-; Birds (specifically parrots in jungles or such) can be really cool, along with something like insects or such. My only worry is that Minecraft would get way too many mobs however, then it would look like a mod...
It would be nice if they finish the mod api, but I don't imagine that will happen within the next major update.
That's for 1.7.3 which releases next week. Also, they need to make it so fly doesn't slide like you're ice, or at least make it toggleable.
