I am the creator of The Official 1.4 Discussion Thread, and that got a pretty good amount of replies, so herenis the next one. This is not a "Post your ideas for 1.5 herez!" This is an official list of things going to be added into the 1.5 update. You can post what you think will be added to 1.5
Here is the list of things being added to 1.5-
Redstone additions and improvements: Weighted pressure plates, daylight detector, and more redstone additions!
New ores: Possibly new ores in the Nether to craft redstone items.
Fireworks: Nice colorful explosions that do no damage. Ive been trying to do this with regular tnt. No luck.
Minecart improvements: Updates to minecarts.
Lighting System overhaul: Ths lighting system will get real fixed, better lighting, lighting bug fixes, and more!
Performance update: Less laggier!
Bug fixes: Less bugs.
Pinecones: Jeb tweeted this:
"How many pinecones are on a tree? Work cannot continue without knowing."
Does this means pinecones will be added to a pine tree, or our already existing spruce tree?
No mobs: Sadly no new mobs are going to be added.
This is it, for now, because MineCon really added a lot to the list of 1.5 things!
Check back commonly, for new updates about 1.5!
Please reply about your OPINIONS not your IDEAS! If Dinnerbone or Jeb tweet something tell me if I dont know. Thank you for reading.
- Pinecones with possible new tree (Jeb tweet)
- Fixed redstone (Dinnerbone wanted to fix it)
- Squirrels (People's request)
- Snow spirit - something like Snow Lady from Japanese folklore (My request)
- Growing snow when snowing; Snow layers build-up.
(I don't give a *beep* if it hurts people's builds, just make it stack because that is how I know snow in Ottawa, Canada during snowstorms. You can always shovel it and disable it via plugins. If people rage then all the better, sharing my pain to them heh.)
- Bookshelves storing books - Bookshelves need to store books instead of using chests. Common.....Poke Jeb more about this please!
- Abandoned snow cabins in snow biomes with basic loot. Think wooden huts and such.
Now don't be lazy and poke Jeb & Dinnerbone for these features. I have, but I need your help.
If pine cones are added, that means we'll probably get pine trees. Pine trees could lead to a pine forest biome, which I think would be highly likely. Minecraft needs a new biome anyway. And snow will probably be improved, because it really needs it. Hopefully in these ways:
- Snow on stairs/half-slabs (This has really pissed me off for the longest time)
- Stacking snow (We REALLY need this)
- Snow still appears under flowers, fences, grass, etc. (Not having this makes the snow biomes look ugly as hell)
- Snow should "leak" through leaves (This would make snow biomes look less ugly, and snow would collect under trees slowly)
- Varying snowstorm intensities (Also combines with stacking snow so higher intensity storms would produce deeper snow)
Minecraft's snow system needs to be greatly improved. As a Canadian, I value snow xD
I think they need to slow down a tad and fix some of the bugs in the game engine itself not really add new content. I really hope to see a new lighting engine that can support lanterns better then the current one.

I'm completely content with 1.5 being pure-polish update; fixed lighting, rewritten rendering, the API, and numerous bugs fixed. And yeah, maybe some redstone stuff too. It's in some serious need for loving.
The API will not be included or worked on much until all these other systems are stable and proven to work. You can't write an API unless you have the program finished first.
I'm mostly excited for the new lighting and possibly new rendering. The redstone update may be awesome but it probably wont affect me much.

Don't play vanilla? You don't know **** about minecraft.
I think it was put away so Dinnerbone could work on other features, it may get an comeback in 1.5
don't think they will ever add pigmen, we have testificates already and they're atleast 10x more awesome.
They were never added so you can't tell how awesome they are until they are added plus it will be a cool feature they will have the testificates AI and they will be very rare.
They should add more commands to the command block which would include having mobs not burn in daylight, having it stay at one time for the whole playthrough. There should also be more decoration blocks, like colored glass blocks, more types of stone bricks, more glass blocks like ones that are two by two in texture. Anyways, I hope some of these ideas - especially the command block one get one minecraft.
Did everyone forget about beavers? I faintly remember a video made by gamechap and bertie talking about beavers being in 1.0. They included pictures of trees with these fence posts in the middle of them, to resemble beavers cutting trees down.

To all of you people who think Notch is still working on the game, he stopped working on Minecraft in late 2011. Get your facts straight and stop spamming his twitter about Minecraft updates.

For your growing snow idea, I think that it would be a fair compromise to let it grow up to a certain height. Maybe like, up to one snow block and one layer on top of that.
So optifine is going to become obselete soon? Wat?
Well so will Risugami's Mod Loader when Mod API comes.
