The compass could be useful. A lot of times I want to get somewhere because there is an awesome maze that needs to be tested, and I just can't find the place, because I have no idea which way to look.. Usually what happens is that we build huge piles of whatevers to find each other. Doesn't work when the whole map is a huge pile of whatever.
About the Mini-Map, well, you know what I'm talking about. Doesn't have to show anything except where North is and other players in a variable vicinity (dunno, 10-20-50-100-250-500 blocks? or something..) Also, variable "fixed or rotating" map would be good.
And when I say POI, I mean Point of Interest. You make something, like a huge underground sex-cave and want to show it to others or want to enslave them for yourself or whatever, you just put a POI block down.. so your friends can find it! And not to say, YOU remember where you put that awesome hole you just dug but covered because you wanted all the lava for yourself the next day as well.
I don't know how hard these would be to implement. And maybe they don't even need to be in Alpha. But would be awesomely nice.
Comments and ideas?
as a side note, I know that this would bring up an issue of griefers finding your stuff more easily and making a pie out of it in a matter of seconds, but thats in the game too. Unfortunately.
