My suggestion to the Minecraft world, is the ability to add a title and specific color customization to a sword.
The idea is to create and add another fun and exciting challenge for those who want to customize their sword. It doesn't upset any balance and is not mandatory to players who do not wish to do so, but provides the way to get that "perfect sword".
Forging your very own sword!
Name and color custom swords would be made with all 5 sword materials: wood, stone, iron, gold, and diamond, adding customization to every sword possible in the game, for even more blade color!
Adding Color:
The color would be added through the use of dyes to the leather handle and cross-gaurd of the sword, as well as an inset gem to the pommel and cross-guard! An already crafted sword would be placed into the the Anvil, first put through with a dye, and then put through again with an inset gem.
Gems/metals to inset on the sword:
Nether Quartz = white
Iron = silver
Diamond = light cyan
Lapis Lazuli block = blue (block because Lapis is used for dye)
Ender Pearl = purple
Emerald = green
Glowstone dust = light yellow
Gold = gold
Blaze Rod = orange
Redstone dust = red
Obsidian = black
Dying the hilt:
Insetting the gem:

Enchantment/Durability:
A fully colored sword (dyed hilt, inset gem) would have higher enchantability. This means that the normal enchant levels for that sword would bear a greater and more valuable enchant.
A forged sword would have greater durability than the sword of it's material counterpart.
Name Your Sword:
Since 1.4 the Anvil Block has been added. One of its main features is naming tools. Whether or not the whole idea was inspired by this thread, it is a huge triumph that the aspect of naming tools has found its way into Minecraft. You saw it here first folks!
For the name, you would simply use the Anvil and a bit of XP. This idea stays here because this suggestion existed before the Anvil even came out! Here is an image showing what hovering over the titled sword in the inventory might look like:
Dungeons - Legendary Swords!
Around 5 to 7 already enchanted, colored, and titled swords would become loot in dungeon chests. Much like records, these swords would become well known, and could differ with better or worse enchantments. To keep the balance however, finding one would be EXTREMELY RARE. Submitted ideas for these:

[Obsidian] 30% chance of blocking any given attack
Achievement and Additional Kill Status [Optional]:
"To Forge A Sword" could be added to the achievements section, only completed after fully crafting (with colored hilt and inset gem), enchanting, and titling a sword.
Forged Swords come with a new kill status that simply states: [Name1] was slain by [Name2]'s sword [sword name].
Some other side notes:
- To those of you who say: "I wouldn't want to lose my great sword after creating it and smashing people to bits for such a long time!" Well, the solution is not creating new items or ideas that allow you to rebuild your sword (this becomes too overpowering in the long run), but using the Frame Block that was added in 1.4. Once your sword is on it's last straw, you simply stick it in a chest or frame to show it off as decoration. It has memories and stories with it; it is not wasted.
- This would be great for adventure maps! Quest for the Legendary Sword. Think of all the possibilities!
- Some of you (everyone) want more use for Lapis Lazuli. This helps out with that! Mostly Lapis Lazuli in real life is used for jewelry and such. Using Lapis for the hilt color and adding gems to a forged sword is a great use of it! It doesn't take much, but it is still put to good use!

Does anyone want to play it with me? Today?
If you want to i'll send you the hamachi server info.
So yeah. Thats pretty much it. You'll also have to
have MCPatcher, And a certain texture pack for the full
"experience" I suppose. So yeah, Waiting to hear from you all.

When broken, decayed wood would break without giving a block, unless silk touch is applied. Decayed wood would also be used to make the house look decayed and for decoration. The house would look like this-

----------Introduction------------
So, First of all, this is a thread for mob improvment, And so,
first of all, lets start with zombies, and we'll go on from there.
----------Zombie Suggestions-----------
Ok, Number One, I see why zombies would drop iron tools,
Because they used to be players.. But why just iron?
Small revision: Wood Tools - Iron, Iron being the most rare.
Wood being the less rare. Number Two, I think zombies should be
aggrovated against iron golems, Because then the Iron
Golems arent exactly invincible, because thats quite overpowered.
-----------Skeleton Suggestions-------------
Ok, Number One, Same Iron golem suggestion, unless they're
already agrro against iron golems, in which case... yeeaaah...
Anyway, I think there isn't much for skeletons to be revised, they're nice
I guess, So Lets move on.
-----------Spider Suggestions-------------
Ok, Number One, Spiders need to be aggro aginst iron golems and so
Number Two, Spiders need rare drops too? What about cobwebs? Eh?
[Cobweb rare drop Suggested by:astrotrap]
----------Enderman Suggestions-----------
Ah, The Enderman, my favourite mob, Enderpearls: Good. Eye of Ender: Good..
Teleporting: Fun for fighting. The Damage done by it: Good, I guess.
But anyway, I like the Enderman, I think its nice, so no revisions...
And making it aggro against iron golems would just be too much, unless
its attack, so.. yeah
--------Slime--------
Ok, slime, I leik it, not too hard to fight cause you dont find it much.
---------The Nether Mobs-----------
So, the nether, I like it, its a nice addition, I think a bit more
could be added but, other than that, its good, but lets look at the mobs,
and see if we can find anything wrong with them that may need a revision.
--------Blaze---------
Blaze, I leik it, But..
Number One: Its a bit overpowered by my encounters, For instance..
Its kind of hard to avoid the fire and everything, but harder for me to shoot arrows at it.
I guess I could try a bit more, But anyway, Maybe the fire could stop spreading a bit?
And so, Number Two! Rare Drops for Blaze? I suggest Fire! That way
Chain mail will have a way to be made, maybe it shouldn't be a rare drop.
--------Ghast--------
I like the Ghast, nothing should be chaaaanged..
-------Magma Cube--------
To me its overpowered, Maybe take its damage down a bit?
Unlike the slime, Its a bit easier to find, but Really hard to fight
due to its high-jumping-ness probably, now lets go to passive mobs.
-----Passive Mobs-----
Well, passive mobs, what needs to be changed? lets go and find if anything should be changed
-------Wolfs/Cats--------
Ok, Wolfs are nice, Maybe they're health needs to be heightened? Or something..
Wolfs die too quickly, basically.
And I like cats, nothing needs to be changed there, unless you have a suggestion.
--------Pigs/Cows/Sheep--------
Putting all of these together cause i'm too lazy- BUT ANYWAY!
Pigs, I leik them, they have saddles and arent controlled..
and that new 1-3 porkchops instead of 0-2, Thats nice.
Sheep? I leik em' nuthin needs to be changed, maybe a rare meat drop..
Cows, Awesome, put a saddle on em' and be able to control em'? Even better!
Ok, everyone, I want contructive critisicm, I dont want plain right insults, but contructive critisicm, please haha, seriously D:
Anyway, What do you think should be changed about the mobs? and tell me if you support! these are just some ideas I had so I thought I'd post em', if it doesn't seem to polished to you, it was probably cause I wanted to see what everyone's opinion was.
Anyway- Bye!

I know this has probably been suggested one million times before but, I have an idea for a new dimension.
I recently was looking at a crying obsidian post and a use for crying obsidian making a portal.
I think there should be a Dimension of worth with this crying obsidian- kinda like a barren wasteland but underneath the ground, it should be rich with dungeons that give random and not as rare loot.
But anyway back to my first idea, a new block to go to a new dimension For instance...
this dimension would be a water dimension full of sea creatures, I have a few ideas about this dimension so.... get ready to read...
Suggestion 1 - A new block to make the portal to this Dimension, it would be called "Wave Shard"
Suggestion 2 - No new enchantments? wrong, a new enchantment It will allow you to survive in the water dimension You must enchant a diamond helmet with the enchantment, its name should be "Water Diver" The Water Diver enchantment would allow you to survive in the special water in that dimension
Suggestion 3 - New water, special water it would have a more-see-through-than-regular-water tint to it, so it would be easy to see without having a buncha water particles in your face.
Suggestion 4: New Mobs - New mobs, justa few like....
1 - Sea Slitherer: This creature would be a large snake-like creature that would slither on the bottom of the sea, and wherever it would slither it would be harder to see because it would be kinda be kicking up muck from the sea floor. It would drop 1-3 Inc Sacs when killed and spawn on the bottom of the sea
2 - Water Waver: This would be the underwater version of the creeper, and the shark version of a creeper as well, it would be the shape of a shark and if you got to close to it for too long, it would start to flash white like a creeper does and it would charge forward with small explosions and it would die.
It would drop 1-6 gunpowder and it would be hard to get the powder because the water wavers would swim above underwater ravines mostly and they would spawn nearly everywhere
3 - Water Dogs: Same as dogs, they dislike Water Wavers however and are quite powerful.
They can be tamed using Lapis Luzili and they would spawn from sea caves and when killed they drop nothing, they look like fish dogs.
4 - Sea Doslither: Like the Sea Slitherer but with the head of a sea dog, and it looks more like a firey head of a sea dog, it drops fire, pure fire it spawns where the Sea Slitherer Spawns, but is as rare as a spider jockey... if sea dogs are nearby when you engage it they will attack you as well...
Suggestion 5: New crafting and details
To make the Wave Shard Blocks with being lapis and being a bucket of water.....
Would be a wave shard,
Suggestion 6: Misc
A weird thing would happen if you use a fishing rod in this dimension, what do you think it should be? post in comments...
There would also be new sea coral and stuff, well thats all I have right now I'm BEAT From typing so much, so I'm gonna take a rest, if you like this please click the green up arrow, this is my first time saying that so yeah....
Bye!

I'M Personally Going to start my 4th Minecraft World, I like to think Minecraft is some kinda block planet and each side of that block is nearly endless, somehow. So I have A Zone 1, my main world. Zone 2, My Well...not very much played World... and Zone 3 my played-ish World.
But once I start Zone 4 I can keep a JOURNAL! With the books and all, so I'm looking forward to that!
But....What are you going to do with them? Use this thing below to state what your going to do...
What do you plan on using Book & Quills for?:
What will their uses in multiplayer be?:
Will you develop a secret code with symbols :P?:
Whatever I didn't miss:
I feel like a news reporter!

I like them and all but, I find it difficult to survive in them, Especially sense there isn't much food.
I like to save cows, so I can breed them and yet jungles make this impossible, there is no flat surface to make a mini-pasture, And I dont want to kill all of the cows, so I dont usually have food.
The giant heights and hard manuverablility make it easy to be killed at night.
When starting out the vines on a tree may not have grown so you cant make a good tree house.
The Random stone areas are the only helpful thing, considering free coal.
All in all, jungle biomes suck to spawn in when first playing a new world.
sure, its nice to find one when your home is in a different biome but...
Spawning in one at first isn't what its all cracked up to be.
Now they should make Jungle Biomes very RARE And have some type of temple or treasure in them....

I just wanna start be saying: All of you on here I bet are GREAT Minecrafters, perhaps better than me
But ever thought, you map was a little too dull? Well, I propose for you to tell me your BEST Minecraft Worlds! On Mine I have a giant cave as a home, its well organized because I have a storage Room.
I have a little island where I grow trees on to get wood, and I currently Slay Enderman most of the time, just so I can get the Enderpearls. I hope to amass a lot of them, so when I go cave exploring I can access area easily by teleporting to them with an Enderpearl.
Anyway I want you guys/gals to tell me what YOUR Minecrafter world is like!
I find it interesting not of my own world, as much as what OTHER People can do on THEY'RE Worlds!
