I think that the current weapons and their material they are made out of should be slightly nerfed and mojang should create a another set of weapons made of a material that can't be made by any material found. These weapons would be special grabs or treasure only found in the toughest most rare spots.
Really it would be nice to find a dungeon and to fight your way through it to find a chest with more than just wheat and cups inside.
I think it would be nice to give more material options for people that don't like to mine. An incentive for a hunter lifestyle, if you will.
For example, have a bear as a new mob, which drops bear bones, and bear hide. You can use the bones to reinforce stone tools, and the hides to reinforce leather armor. The drops could be rare, and the reinforced tools/armor could be equivalent to iron. I feel like this would be balanced, as iron isn't even that rare to begin with.
I figure have some materials in between the current ones, like Copper between Wood and Stone (Can't mine anything bar what Wood tools can, just faster and much more common than Wood with the durability of stone.) or Tin between Stone and Iron (Replace wood with Stone and Stone with Iron above.)

Do not get attached to your saves, seriously, stuff like this has happened before, if there's something you love and really want to build...Wait for release.
That, or add rare and hard to find ores and chests in the Nether/END/ or Aether (if it ever comes).
That way, it is more attractive to build up and spend some time exploring in these alternate dimensions.
Minecraft's weapon/armor layout is boring as is.
There is wood/gold/stone/iron/diamond in order of usefulness.
When you get iron or diamond there is no need to ever use the other 3 materials again.. ever unless you die and all your storage gets stolen or some crazy accident happens and a fire burns everything up.
Yet another place that Terraria shines over MC, is the item tree and armor assortment.
I mean hell, we don't even have chandeliers, or furniture of anykind in Minecraft without some elaborate mod.. cmon.

Errr.... It's called Mine-Craft *FACEPALM* :biggrin.gif:
EDIT: But I agree with you completly, and I beleive that there should also be even more harder mobs and more quantity. Imagine you are in your small castle, armed with nothing more then a bow and a sword, surrounded by agressive zombies and skeletons, and endermen who take apart ur castle 1 block by another.. That would be awesome
