I have been playing Minecraft ever since Minecraft Has been in Classic Creative mode and I have never really done anything but play the game and I think I finally need to help with the Minecraft Community.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been talking to a lot of people in the Minecraft community and we all have agreed that Jeb and the developement crew need to work on two things mainly.
The End and Underwater.
I have had a few ideas that will distinguish little Minecraft lakes and ponds from huge oceans.
It would also help with Underwater mobs and structure spawning.
There is one thing that I have to point out that needs to be fixed or inplemented.
You can ride Minecarts into portals but you can't teleport while in the Minecarts. This shouldn't happen as some maps might need it for "Roller Coasters" or reaching ceratin places easily.
Here are my ideas.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Distinguishing the difference between an ocean and a lake or pond, there should be two types of water.
Fresh ( Usually used in most Natural Rivers, Ponds, Lakes and Streams)
Fresh water would be the same color as Minecraft water in general.
Salt Water ( Which would only be in oceans.This would help with squids by making it so that Squids only spawn in salt water and cant survive in fresh water. This would help Seeing as squids will sometimes spawn in little lakes and ponds)
Salt water would only spawn in oceans, Would be a bit darker, and when fresh water is connected to it the Fresh water would be converted into Salt water.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To make the Underwater areas more unique the Minecraft developement team should work on a easier way to be able to breath Underwater. I'm thinking that the Respiration enchantment for the Helmet should be increased to 1 minute.
That would be essential if the things that I'm suggesting were added into Minecraft ( Which Would be quite an honor) because the player would need much more time to interact with certain things Underwater.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I was saying in the section above, to make Underwater more unique, Naturally generated structures should be added to the game. These would consist of Ruins kind of like Atlantis but way smaller. If we look in retrospect, Notch originally planned on a campaign for Minecraft but he was never able to complete it after the Enderdragon because he quite the developement team. With Atlantis like ruins, the campaign could be a bit more mysterious and it would be bigger.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the moment, this is all I have to offer on the topic and I don't really have any ideas for the End but I will add on it if I have any more Ideas.
Please comment with any ideas or if you just like my ideas, I would appreciate it.
I think certain resources should be solely attainable from water. Maybe adding an underwater food source like clams or crabs. You could also add hostile water based mobs like fishmen. They could even have villages. I like the fresh vs. salt water idea. I think potions should only be benign if they are made from freshwater. Seaweed would also be a nice block.
Unfortunately, in reality, there are very little things humans do underwater. This requires lots of creativity in coming up with something useful in the water.
Sorry if this post is rather jumpy in the thoughts.
