Leveling? Meh, I don't care.
Hunger? Alright, this sounds fun!
Permadeath? This sound--WHAT?!
Please make permadeath togglable, It'll ruin EVERYTHING for me! Especially in the anarchy server I play, in which I die 40% of the time.

Anything new for Criswelvania in 2018?

Well that explains it! Thanks, Criswell, and good luck with the map!

Hey! I've been replaying through the old MDK that was given out in 2014 recently, and I've noticed something: the chests (not all, but some) will refill after you quit the game and then load it back up again. Is this something with the game and will it do this in the next release? Thanks!

Feature creep is the mass addition of new features to a product without going back and expanding upon old features too.
Since Minecraft going gold, it seems that few updates have focused upon expanding upon and reworking old mechanics and features. Looking back at the 10 updates we've had since Minecraft was fully released, the updates that have had a major part of them devoted to working and expanding on an old feature are 1.5, 1.7 and 1.9. 1.5 is in my opinion the best example of a non-feature creep update so far, since everything was focused on redstone contraptions.
Other updates, like 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8 seemed solely focused on adding several unrelated smaller things and didn't expand a lot on any of the previous updates.
Personally, I really liked 1.10, partially because of its speediness in being completed and partially because of the new features, but I also felt like the new features were somewhat gimmicky and didn't actually add much to the overall Minecraft experience. I wouldn't mind seeing a return to an update every month or two months that works on refining and expanding a major part of the game and adding a few new toys to balance it out along the way.

Sure, sounds like a good addition.
Redstone - That's why it'd have to be carefully built and streamlined. It's the same for all redstone contraptions, isn't it?
Sugar - That's why I picture this as a low-tech alternative to potions that can be used early on, with a heavy drawback.
Definitely no.
I think you're right; while both a powered mob and an unpowered mob would be useful, it doesn't really make sense that only redstone could create a signal.

Yes, the dust will always be consumed. I think I forgot to put that in the OP, I'll edit it now.
It wouldn't be an explosion at all, but rather if the player/mob is near an explosion/flame then they will be dealt blast damage and knocked back a good few blocks.

Certain items, when right-clicked, would create a two-block long particle effect in front of the player as if it were being blown outwards, consuming the item in the process. This particle effect would last for five seconds. Mobs or players that walk into the cloud will be given a layer of dust on their model and a special effect. Placing these items in a dispenser will also blow it out, though a dispenser's cloud will be four blocks long rather than two.
The dust effect can be washed off with water.
Redstone
Blowing redstone dust onto an entity would give it the ability to conduct a redstone signal from circuitry adjacent to the block the entity is currently standing on. Uses for this include farming using villagers, integrating mob pathfinding into circuitry and carefully placed traps on other players. The redstone effect will last thirty seconds.
Sugar
Blowing sugar onto an entity would give it a speed effect for five seconds, followed by a slowness effect for ten seconds. Useful in PvP for slowing down players or for giving yourself a short speed boost.
Blaze Powder
Blaze powder would do fire damage when blown onto an entity. Any meats dropped by the entity will be cooked but the items will still be preserved. Useful for automatic mob farms. The blaze effect lasts five seconds.
Gunpowder
Blowing gunpowder onto an entity will do nothing by itself. However, if the entity comes near an open flame or is hit by an explosion, additional blast damage will be done and the entity will be knocked back two blocks. Useful in PvP or traps.

I'm not looking for a more complicated combat system, I'm looking for a combat system that expands upon things already established in the game.
Minecraft, to me, is summarized best in three parts (though I cannot recall who came up with this summarization):
Mine: it's your world, you do as you please.
Mine: the game revolves around mining for resources.
Craft: the game revolves around crafting new things with these new materials.
I want Minecraft to be a Sandbox game, a game about options. I want the game to have options to advance some of what has already been established in the realm of combat, whether combat against mob or another user. I also want the game to have options for tons of other things, but those things aren't what the thread is about. I definitely do not want Minecraft to become a combat-oriented game, I just want it to fully explore what it's set up for itself, ya dig?

I've edited the initial post a little bit based off of Cerroz's feedback and added a ranged weapon section. Thanks!

I should clarify: The gauntlets would not let you control another player's movement: the other player would still be able to move, but if taken by surprise then the attacker would be able to influence their moving.
If you've played Left 4 Dead 2 and are familiar with the Jockey, think of something similar to that except the person being pulled around would have way more control.

Introduction
The Combat Update laid the groundwork for what is, in my opinion, a really great beginning for a combat overhaul. I do feel, however, that there are areas that can be expanded upon and new gateways to explore in combat.
Stamina
The stamina bar would NOT be a new feature, but rather a visualization of your cool down between weapon swings in the corner of the GUI. This will be important for charged attacks that I will be detailing further down in this post.
Melee
Ranged
Charged attacks
Holding the right-click with a full stamina bar would allow the execution of a charged attack. Note that being hit while charging an attack will drain the stamina bar entirely and your weapon will take a hit to its durability.
Conclusion
So there we have my proposal of how combat could be improved. I will expand and tweak the suggestion as feedback comes in. Thanks!

I'm referring to this emboldened sentence when I ask "Couldn't the same be said about a resource pack?": a folder stored in your files couldn't connect into the mojang servers, and would not reflect to anyone but you.
The purpose of a skin vs. the purpose of a resource pack is irrelevant in this part of the conversation.

Couldn't the same be said about a resource pack?

Ah, I see. But if you log out of the server and then log back on, then the skin would properly render, right?

It works exactly like the resource pack folder when it comes to the folder. What's the problem with watching a player change skins?
