Things I Would Change in Minecraft 

Those of you suggesting water for building under: it is a method that I did not include in the video, it's not ideal because you can't remain stationary, you drown but most importantly it breaks all grass, torches and redstone beneath you, which there usually is one. Very good point there are other methods - however none of them are a perfect fix, even bonemealing warped roots, they are under the block.

I think like Scar said, horses should be able to carry two players on them. Being able to ride horses with your friends would be very fun!

I think large swarms of bats could actually add to the atmosphere. maybe have them in dripstone caves, and they can fly around in large numbers together.

I think the reason the glass is harder to break is to prevent people from accidentally breaking it all the time and losing their glass forever

i think giving villagers the ability to give you quests to complete (ex: fix broken houses, create barrier against mobs) would be a great way to refresh the game, they could be biome specific (ex: snow biomes would require heating, deserts demand water sources, ect) and each quest would serve to elevate the village's level (incorporating a ranking system for the quality of life in villages would be great) but make it so it can be partially automated so it dosen't feel too manual

as a modder I can confirm making glass break quicker would literally be changing a single number in the code

You know you've been playing Minecraft for a while when horses still feel like a brand new addition.

I think with the Jukebox, you should be able to extract the disc with a hopper, insert it with a dispenser, and read how far through the song it is with a comparator. That way, players can make their own automated jukebox system

With the trading halls point, I actually circumvent this by doing exactly that. I defend my villagers against mobs at night, I rebuilt their houses so they don't have to leave their house to access their jobs. And when I need more villagers I just build another house, place a bed down and let them do the rest, my farmers provide enough food for everyone. I find it's more engaging than just making a bunker and stuffing the villagers in en-masse, it feels like they actually depend on me for their survival.

Something I would like to see would be color variants of leaves. They are all shades of green. Give us cherry blossom trees, or autumn colored leaves with reds and yellow. And stay that shade when you move them to different biomes.

I think they deliberately made glass so slow to break because it helps to prevent accidental breakages, especially early game that can be painful when you permanently lose a glass block

I like the idea of phantoms in the end city, it makes sense since membranes are used to make elytra and slow fall potions

i feel like the "connected glass" thing could be fixed with one of those villager tables, the masonry table? get a block that you can use to mass-dye glass, make new types like ''paneled glass" which has little squares, or chiseled glass, or whatever ye need! vanilla glass could be "bordered glass", and the connected glass could be the new baseline.

When he said “as a more hardcore player” it really made me realise that this guy really went from “only knows about creative mode and building, and is clueless about survival,” all the way to “top performing MCC champion” within the span of a few years

Things he would change: 1. Make megabases automatically have backs

Your music disc idea is actually possible on bedrock since you can put music discs in a jukebox with hoppers, meaning, you could pull a lever which would activate a dispenser and plop the music disc in the jukebox.

9:40 Automatically knew he would say stardew because it has such a simple yet genius storage and inventory system. I hope they add features like this to Minecraft.

I know I’m late and this wont get recognized, but it would be cool if the bats were on the ceiling ~90% of the time, spawned in groups, and left the ceiling when the player hit a mob ore placed a torch. This would make the bats actually add to the caves. Also more bats.

I think it would be cool if beacons would have certain special-abilities, depending on what is the base made out of. For example: - A full emerald beacon could give villagers a permanent discount. - A full gold beacon could make piglings peaceful, even when not wearing gold armor - A full iron beacon could make iron golems stronger and more durable - A full diamond beacon would give permanent usage-speed of all diamond/netherite tools (additional to haste 2 maybe) - A full netherite beacon would give all of the above as well as the 'Weird flex, but ok'-advancement. Maybe even add more beacon-bases - A full lapis-beacon makes enchantments a little bit more powerful - A full redstone-beacon makes every player in its radius grow a mustache

Something that i hate is that you can't convert a path block back to dirt without either breaking and replacing it or placing something on top. It's such a small thing but can be really annoying

About the inventory. All the things mentioned (more slots, bigger stacks, organize and quick stack buttons) are things that terraria has already. But what also minecraft could benefit from is accesry slots. Slots that you can use to put items in that give you some benefit. They can also be unlocked as you progress. In your accesory slots you could put: -an elytra so that it doesnt share its slot with the chestplate -a backpack that gives you additional inv slots (similarly to don't starve game) -a compas which wuld create a GUI that points you north/spawn/base -a spyglass to finally make it worth using (you could activate it with a button similar how to optifine works) -a map so you can have a minimap on screen -a totem of undying -a clock -all sorts of craftable or obtainable technical/magical accesories that could show you things like redstone power signals, light levels, slime chunks, coordinates and so much more things that we have to check through external sites or mods or the F3 screen

One simple addition to this from me: make it a shift-click to get parrots on and off your shoulder. It’s incredibly annoying

My suggestion for the bats: If you want to go for the "they should drop an item" side of things, they could drop bat wings. Then you can craft four of those into a phantom membrane in the same way you can craft four rabbit hides into a piece of leather, and use those bat wings to repair your elytra. Bonus points, a bat wing in a brewing stand could make a potion of feather falling (since phantom membranes make slow falling). If you want to go full interaction mode like Grian suggested, you can use it with the sculk that was just added! Sculk sensors take and give off sounds, so what if making a sound near one (that wasn't in range of a shrieker) sent a signal to any bats in range, and the bat would chirp back and come investigate you? Then if you feed it something-maybe a melon slice for fruit bats, since melons go virtually unused, or glowberries since those are local fruit-they can sit on your shoulder, and squeak at you if something nearby makes a noise. For non-player interactions, bats could hunt down silverfish and endermites in the same way wolves hunt sheep and axolotls hunt down fish, since a lot of bats eat insects. This could be a reason to bring them into Strongholds, even; imagine taming a dozen bats or so, and unleashing the swarm upon the silverfish spawner! Another interaction, maybe they land and stop moving in high light levels, or move very slowly, like how the Striders slow and shiver when out of lava. They're nocturnal, they should act like it! Those are just a few fun things I thought of off the top of my head.

2:55 I have craved for the longest time the desire for a mechanic that makes raids a constant thing you need to defend against. It would happen only once you begin to grow a villages wealth and population. The increased level of villages gives you better trade deals, and more types of villagers, but corresponds with harder and harder raids. The raids could trigger upon leveling up a village. Once a final level is reached, raids return to just being when you kill the pillager party banner holder. Overall, villages are the key to minecraft feeling lived in. If villager AI could be mastered and constantly engaging, it would combat the emptiness and loneliness of single player minecraft worlds. Give something beyond building for building's sake.

On the item stack count, what would be cool is if you could adjust the maximum stack size of items via editing a game rule

i had a dream once that they added an armor enchantment called “pockets”. it adds a new inventory slot if you’re wearing armor with it. i like to imagine it went up to level 3 and added one new inventory slot per level, with a maximum of 12 new slots

Honestly having a whole village system would make me way more invested in a world. I often build my own villages when I'm playing anyway even though it's completely pointless. Just feels nicer living in a village with npcs rather than building my own house and keeping them in a trading dungeon.

Maybe for the polar bear interaction, they could add villages in the icy biomes and the villagers there could interact with them in some way.

Here are some enchantments I would like to see in the game. -An idea I've had for a while is another enchantment called reach, which lets you mine blocks farther away from you. It could be applied on a pickaxe, axe, shovel, and hoe. On an axe it would be incredibly useful when mining taller trees like dark oaks and great oaks. -Another one could be versatility, and you could use it on a pickaxe to dig dirt faster (not quite as fast as an efficiency V netherite shovel with/without haste II or even an efficiency I diamond shovel so it doesn't get rid of the need for a shovel), or you could apply it on a hoe to chop wood or something. -The last tool enchantment idea I had would be something called "cook" or "burning" or something, and it would give you items in their smelted form. Cobble would be stone, sand would be glass, and if you have silk touch while mining stone it would be smoothe stone. To nerf it a little it would use extra durability, and some limitations would be making it so it can't make charcoal out of wood or something. -For an armor enchantment, I would add something like weight, which makes you take less knockback, and maybe it goes up to III or something in which you barely take anything at all. -Another armor enchantment could be bounciness, so projectiles bounce off you a couple blocks. This would not only be good for dealing with skeletons and pillagers but could also bounce off harmful potions/potions not thrown by yourself, which would be amazing for witches and potion pvp. Next would be an enchantment for the helmet which goes up to III or IV and reduces damage taken when crashing into a wall or something with an elytra. -Finally, For the elytra itself, perhaps an enchantment that lets it glide further after the rocket is used.

Imagine bats spawn in groups inside the caves and rest on the cave roofs until you come near them and they suddenly start swarming around you. And if you feed them with something, they could lead you to the nearest big cave or cave entrance. Polar bears could go diving to catch the fish. Generally more interactions between different animals would be nice and add to the atmosphere.

I think a tool wheel would be incredible. That way our inventory slots are dedicated to more blocks and things and our tools have their own section. Have the tool wheel completely customizable with maybe 8 spots.

I think Terraria deals with villagers preety well. In it, you have to make housings for npcs to move then you can sell or buy items. You have to keep in mind their preferred biomes, their relationship, not making everything cramp etc. So that you have the best deals. You also have to move them into certain biomes to get certain items. Alongside that, certain things can only be unlocked after completing certain goals like killing bosses. So if mojang wants to fix villages, they can make so that the player has to make specific shops and structures around villagers for them to work, make so that you should not keep them cramped and you can't just cure them into Oblivion. Making certain trades biome specific can also be good. The problem with 1.20.2 rework is that no matter how far you are into the game, you can never get max level enchants from the villagers, which is preety annoying. They can do that if you do certain things, like completing certain things like how did we get here, they start to sell max level enchants. This update also doesn't fix any other issue.

I think it would help if they made swarms of bats instead of just one bat in a random underground cave, maybe let them hang from the ceiling more often and make them less scared of the player.

So I had an idea for bats. What if they behaved like bees, coming out of caves at night and returning to caves at dawn. Then if you have dark spaces they might decide that that's cave-y enough and hang around in your attic or cellar. It'd be an indicator of darkness. Polar bears too could go to caves to sleep or hibernate for however long. Maybe over many days, pretending to sleep through the winter. Coming across sleeping bears would be really cool.

Honestly i was skeptical through the most of the video but the phantom bit quite literally had my jaw dropped. Ngl it's a good idea and it honestly makes so much sense that they would be living around the end cities.

I'm in the inventory section now, and if it wasn't mentioned,, I would like a separate area just for ammunition just like in Terraria. Also, in regards to backpacks, I have wanted them for so long. I have always hated that we can only get shulkers when we beat the game. One of the most frustrating feelings in the world is thinking about how much it would have made a difference in our lives to be able to have a backpack. And if they are worried about it not being balanced enough, they can make it so you can only use one at a time, and have it replace armor like an elytra does, and it could double the inventory size. Also, I'd like it if the stuff in our shulkers in our inventory could auto pick up things we are getting. Like, if we are strip mining and we have some for shunting off cobble and stuff into other shulkers, that would be awesome. How about an idea for something in our inventory that we can put one item into and it tells the game to throw away that one item whenever you pick it up automatically? Like an inventory trash can. I dunno. I just think about this a lot.

I believe that items in Minecraft are stacked to 64 because it is a power of 2, which means that you can continue to split it into equal halves until you reach 1, so it's not unreasonable to change the max stack to 128, 256, etc.

Grian: “lastly we’ll be talking about pvp” Scar: *my time has come*

The glass molding together thing is something I’ve been wanting for the longest time

For the connected textures idea, I get where you're coming from, but I actually like the outline on glass. We don't have vertical slabs and other details to be able to make tiny frames around glass. I feel like that tweak while it would make tons of people happy, it would also ruin the vibes for other people. If that change were to be made, it would have to be done so that both variants can exist imo. Otherwise it's just a preference taking over a preference for the sake of aesthetic.

I think that the inventory slots should still be 9 wide, but with two extra rows. Those 2 buttons are great.

I've always thought that Terraria's inventory options are the best in any game. Quick stack to nearby chests, sort your inventory, favorite items so you can't drop them by accident, name chests so that you can see their name while hovering over them, etc 💙💙💙

*Grian:* I want to place blocks under blocks *Crab:* Cries

Great video, now I would like to see angled blocks where you have a slope rather than a stair case type of block and maybe gravity would like to be changed so you haven't got half cut trees floating in the air and how about adding building blocks like lintels to hold up windows and doors and walls. You also made a video addressing the silly things in Minecraft which make no sense like standing on a stonecutter and not getting cut etc. We have bedrock addition which there's no chance of mods which needs addressing as regarding gravity as I mentioned before maybe a helium block which can float enabling the player to place blocks on top; basically I would like to see Minecraft to be a little bit more natural creating a real life experience. Personally regarding gold your correct it's vale has been diminished. Keep up the good work Grian!

another issue to do with inventory is that back in the beginning, all you needed was a sword, pickaxe, torches and food at hand to do most things you need while exploring, and now you need so much more: buckets, bows, elytra/chest plate (depending on what you’re wearing), gold armour for nether, potions, shield, totem, fireworks. and most of those things you could use at any moment, which fills up your hotbar with necessities. i recently read a comment advocating for a second hotbar, that can be swapped at the touch of a button, it would only increase the inventory space by 25%, but allow people to have one hotbar for travelling, and another for combat or building or whatever. it would also easily work alongside a larger inventory if need be.

Backpacks are really a perfect solution, you can see as much in most modded packs. All it really is is a right-clickable shulker box and the difference between having a seamless opening of the backpack for a new inventory, compared to having to place, check, and rebreak a shulker box is so extremely noticable.

A year later, I've come back to this video. I think the villager concept is very good, and it reminds me of a mod I used to watch another youtuber play with when I was younger. I think it was called tales of kingdoms? And it was more medieval themed and focused around kingdoms, more so than villages. But the general concept around building a kingdom is very similar to the improved villages concept in this video!

For the inventory, making indentical tool stack up would save space when going on mining sessions

"There is a lot to be learned from the mods that people keep picking up time and time again." Exactly. A large portion of the most downloaded mods on Curseforge just make inventory management and ease of access better. For example JEI (170m downloads), Mouse & Inventory Tweaks (200m+ downloads combined), Iron Chests & Storage Drawers - item management mods (200m+ downloads combined), & AppleSkin - displays hunger and saturation value of all food items and your current saturation level on your HUD (100m+ downloads). These and many more mods like them just make the vanilla gameplay less frustrating and pointlessly time consuming. EDIT: Bats are extremely useful for locating caves while mining. Especially if you enable subtitles.

I would really love to have a "quick stack to nearby chests" option like Terraria has

Grian, the glass thing exists because glass can only be gathered with Silk Touch, so if a player accidentally breaks their windows or something, its gone and very annoying to replace. Hence its slow to break so players don't accidentally click and destroy a ton of their glass blocks accidentally. Glass in the world is almost always placed by the player, and it is very rare you want to mine it like you mined that stone. I don't actually like your idea of adding slots to either side of the inventory. Many mods and things use the fact that your hotbar is the same size as your inventory, and allow you to quickly cycle your inventory into your hotbar. This breaks that fuctionality. Personally, I think this can be solved by a few things mods have done. ME Systems are undeniably not Minecrafty, however, Backpacks (ever since they added shulkers) are fine, and I think a Small Pack (18 slots, 8 leather surrounding an Iron Ingot), Medium Pack (27 slots, 8 leather surrounding a diamond/Emerald), Large Pack (54 slots, 8 Leather Surrounding a Netherite Ingot), Void Pocket (9 Slots, 8 Netherite Ingots surrounding a Nether Star, HOWEVER, a void pocket is different from the other packs. While it only has 9 slots despite being the most expensive to craft by far, it has a unique property, Each of these 9 slots can contain an unlimited number of any stackable item. So you can store 1000000 cobblestone using only one of its inventory spaces.) There will also be one more Pack, Traveler's Pack (Only obtainable via Traveling Merchant rarely, requiring a Large Pack as a trade, this pack can store 81 slots, making it as large as 3 chests.) In addition to the packs, you add enchanting effects for the packs. "Quivering" will allow you to use Ammo directly out of the pack. "Looting" will cause all blocks picked up to automatically go into the pack if a stack of that item already exists (IE, Stacks in the bag will automatically fill before items go into your inventory). I think these two enchants on a Pack would cover the inventory management issues. Especially with a Looting Void Pocket to hold the tremendous amount of stone you happen to dig up, and a Quivering Pack acting like a Quiver so your inventory can be less messy with ammo.

The inventory issues seem very similar to traffic in the sense that "just adding more slots" will just make the problem bigger, add a few more slots just for them to fill up too and your left with the exact same problem but with more of it to deal with. I think an easy way to help with the inventory (on PC at least) would be to add a multi-select then add different filters between what is being selected.

The ‘organise’ and ‘transfer’ features immediately sent me to terraria, though I do think Stardew valley might have had them first, just don’t have all those memories with it.

I would really like to be able to customise the "Sorting-Button" so my standard inventory layout can put itself back in place how i want it to be.

I like the suggestions. I really want to see an inventory update. The vine trick is cool. In case you don't know it, I do that trick now with water buckets, which is a third way that's possible right now and probably better than the existing two.

I just started playing minecraft again recently and found myself quickly getting tired of sorting chests so a sort button for chests like in terraria would be very welcome

Mojang could 100% add a new "glass frame" item for anyone that wants to keep the og framed glass. There could be glass, iron, copper, or gold frame options which make glass even more customizable. Make connected glass the default option. It's obnoxious to not have glass that you can properly look through. Mojang literally admitted that this glass texture was a problem when they overhauled all the textures.

The glass breaking actually does seem intentional. It seems that it's to prevent you from losing the blocks. Glass needs silk touch to pick it up again and if you confuse your picks, with the current speed, you at most will lose one block before you notice that you don't have the right one. If it could be insta-mined, you would lose a lot more before noticing. And glass is a PITA to get.

The inventory thing is survival limitations, which are important. The creative inventory needs to be massively expanded, though. I like the shulker box idea, though

Confirmed Grian caused the massive villager nerf

3:44 YES this is exactly what I want. I wanna build super secure villages that are also functional and practical. I want to defend the village and have fun

I completely agree with the backpack idea. However, instead of unlocking slots as you progress, you could be able to craft bigger backpacks with the loot of bosses, and also rare items which can prove your dedication to unlocking new slots. The backpack could, instead, have an inventory to the right of the main inventory and may not have very many spaces at first, however as you craft bigger ones, the space greatly increases.

One thing I want is actually from another game, called grounded, and that is crafting from storage. If you have a chest within a certain range of a crafting table you should be able to use the items from that chest without having those items in your inventory. It's a small change but it helps alot. Also some form of a quick deposit where you press a button and any items in your inventory get deposited where they go, without opening chests.

Concrete stairs, walls, and slabs would be awesome

The ability to smelt raw copper/iron/gold blocks into their normal block counterpart would be a great change in my opinion.

It would be seriously cool if the bat increased your visibility while mining if you have them as a pet like a parrot. Not sure how well it'd work though

12:15 i think they should add an special item that would be hard to craft that would like upgrade your one slot to hold up to like 256 for example so that it's not to op. It would be like a specialized slot u use for items that u need to gather a bunch of

I get your point for increasing stack size, but in my opinion some things about Minecraft shouldn’t ever get changed, the stack size being one of them.

I would say more expensive beacons should have a greater range of effect

I've always thought that Terraria's inventory options are the best in any game. Quick stack to nearby chests, sort your inventory, favorite items so you can't drop them by accident, name chests so that you can see their name while hovering over them, etc

would love to see an updated version of this since so much has changed including the pillagers etc.

I can't remember the mod name but it was the villager mod in the original yogbox, that was so cool. You were able to give the villages items like wood and stone and then you'll see them building new houses with the stuff you just have them, expanding the village granting you new rights and more things to trade

the blocks you use for the beacon should determine its range, with a iron block beacon having the current range and each more valuable block in the beacon increasing the range

A good reference for a lot of features that feel like they belong in Minecraft is the "Quark" mod, Inv sorting, transferring items in bulk, slime in a bucket to find slime chunks....

My thoughts 1. Village defense; I think something similar to lego fortnite villages would be cool, maybe a block like the town square where you can feed resources into / upgrade the village 2. Mining glass faster; They should be as fast as sand with a iron shovel 3. Activating jukeboxes remotely with redstone: I'd also love if they emitted a redstone signal when the disk finishes / starts 4. Inventory revamp: HELL YEAH 5. More inventory upgrades: i don't like any of these besides the backpack because we got the bundle which was nice 6. Unlock inventory slots: HELL YEAH 7. Connected glass: HELL YEAH 8. Re-dye already dyed items: It makes no sense; mixing blue and red paint doesnt make red paint, it makes purple, but HELL YEAH 9. Hanging off vines to build under something: HELL YEAH 10. Changing speeds while flying in Creative Mode: HELL YEAH 11. Spectator Mode in Bedrock Edition: mmm. yes. 12. Phantoms in the End: you know what why not I like them being in both areas tbh 13. Dungeon Spawner Overhaul: HELL YEAH 14. Beacons give you better power depending on material: HELL YEAH 15. Deepslate instamined by beacons: It should be only for the better beacons that give you like Haste IV and stuff 16. Universal deepslate as cobblestone compatability: HELL YEAH 17. Make bats and polar bears fun or strong or useful: HELL YEAH (But i don't know how) 18. PVP rehaul: Sure My ask: Players drop player heads upon death if killed by another player (similar to Hermitcraft)

22:50 "... or improved." ...... * s i l e n c e *

I don’t know about increasing the stack amount from 64, but the few items that have stacks of 16 should be increased, I don’t see why they aren’t.

I really want trees to be taller. At least by one block, so you can ride your horse easily through oak forests, but how many forests have you been in where you're scraping the top of your head on tree leaves? Ideally, we could have trees be an average of three blocks taller, going up or down by up to two blocks. Also, I wish there could be skinnier trees. I know there are mods for this, but it seems like a good change to make in game forests more immersive and realistic.

I've been thinking about the beacon changes a lot because I've never liked it and realised that a few natural and still balanced changes would defenetly make me reconsider. First, I think a pretty natural change to beacons that makes diamond/netherite beacons better than the iron/gold ones is to just extend their range, I've always found it super annoying that you have to move the entire beacon for mining or build multiple ones to cover your entire base, so, to me, it seems like a good way to improve that is to just be able to change the "strenght" of the beacon to make it reach further based on the material of it's base, that way there is actually a point to making a beacon out of other materials other than iron or gold. Also I think you could easily do the same for the actual material you use to activate the effect of the beacon, for example as you increase the value of the material you use you extend the time the effect lasts as you go out of the beacons reach (you could call it "bonus effect" time or something like that). For both changes I would probably have the range and the bonus effect time be the ones they are now for gold and then iron be slightly worse and diamond be better and netherite be MUCH better. (Also I would increase the range much more from base material to base material than the bonus time as it's a lot more difficult to go from a diamond beacon to a netherite one than from a single diamond to a single netherite ingot, for example)

Grian talking about accessing the block beneath Me: so you want a water bucket?

Minecarts should keep their horizontal momentum while in the air. This would make cool roller coasters way more plausible.

The stack size is 100% iconic. When I’m taking a test I’ll think “I’ve answered a stack of questions” or “that’s two stacks of dollars!” It’s become a unit of measurement in my head.

12:28 A Handbag, you can acces it like a new hotbar, you can acces it while not sprinting by pressing a key

It would be nice if you could enchant shulker boxes or otherwise upgrade them to automatically pull items from the inventory into themselves while you have them in there. Something easy would be pre-loading the shulker with the type of item[s] you want to store in them.

I feel like the cave update is missing a climbing rope. Like reverse scaffolding you could place it on the top of a block and keep clicking to make the rope hang down the side. It would be cool for cave exploration and useful for building. Iron and a bit of slime to create the "hook" and string could be made into rope that would connect to it.

9:37 I actually think terraria's system is ever so slightly better, because it has both an organize (9:44) and add to chest (9:53) button, but in addition to that it also has a quick stack to nearby chests button witch makes putting away items after a long trip as easy as pushing a button. terraria also has a "restock" button witch allows you to restock your inventory with resources from the chest.

Long video, so here's a long comment. ^L^ Please note that any mod suggestions are to try out the theory to see if you (general) actually enjoy the idea of not. Toward the "Investment Villages" Idea: Have you tried the MineColonies mod? Developing a colony is a HUGE time investment, but (I think that it) generally describes the vibe you're referring to. Inventory Aid Idea: This one is a bit silly, but I wish that you could "tie together" a few unstackable items with a lead (or similar) as a similar idea to a bundle, but only for unstackables. Inventory Sorting & Distribution Buttons: There are client side mods for sorting if you'd like to try, but I think the mass deposit button would definitely be useful. As for sorting, I've recently started using color coded categories for my inventory, inspired by dyed shulkers. There is no good 1 size fits all system, but this is a fun experiment to try. You may be surprised what items you may see in the same chest, but making a sorting scheme has been helpful. Larger Stack Sizes: While I don't think that larger stack sizes for the player inventory would be a good idea, I think that mass inventory blocks (chests, barrels, and ender chests) very much could have larger stack sizes. (Also a specialized block for storing more of 1 type of item in mass would be appreciated. Something like the basic drawers in the Storage Drawers mod, but without the upgrades or the fancier blocks that require Redstone to craft.) Better Shulker Access: Similarly, while accessing one of the above mentioned mass storage blocks (which while not included for the above idea, would be included in this idea), you should also have the ability to open up one (at a time) your shulkers boxes that are in your inventory (or the placed inventory that you are accessing). Unlockable inventory: My main issue with this would be that this would be very annoying for players that don't enjoy the play-styles used to unlock these extra slots. I know plenty of people who don't bother with shoulders until they can buy them from other players, simply because they don't enjoy the End Cities (or making a complicated breeder for shulkers). Building down: I always forget to use it tbh, but try the rope from Farmer's Delight. Rope is the go to item for this situation in Terraria (before you can fly/hover, and is more purpose driven than grappling hooks, which don't feel Minecraft-y IMHO). Connected Textures: Yes and no. I do find a lot of cases where I don't want connected (glass) textures when using Optifine, but I agree that it should be an option. Honestly I think the best option is to give the players the tools to be able to do both ways. (For something to try with non-colored glass, look to the Framed Glass family of blocks in Create.) (I apologize for any errors, as I typed this out on my phone soon after waking up.)

Something that would be nice is a bigger chest variant. It could be a barrel, or it could act exactly as a chest (including combining into a large chest). Regardless, it would be nice to fit more items in the same number of blocks. Additionally, I would make the creative tool bar larger than the normal. Just a nice QoL feature to make building easier. It’s creative, balancing isn’t a concern. You could easily triple the toolbar length without issue

One thing i’d really like to see, is a bigger difference between diamond and netherite tools. Something that would really make it worth it going into the nether and getting netherite. Like maybe you’d be able to insta mine glass with an efficiency V netherite pickaxe and haste 2 beacon.

Glass being a slower to break block is actually a very smart design decision despite it being counter to real world logic. Specifically because Glass is an item that can only really exist in minecraft by the player's own hand, meaning its placement is often very purposeful. If it could break too easily then it would be too easy to accidentally break your own builds, or for people to grief *your* glass builds. But by making it consistently slow to break, they make the act of breaking glass just as purposeful as placing it, giving you time to catch yourself before you screw up with a piece of your build, or catch someone else trying to grief by hand.

for stack limit change, A: changing the size would be near trivial, we don’t use tiny integer sizes anymore B: also in terraria I do often get many stacks of dirt (meaning multiple thousand), just imagine how much room that would take up in minecraft

I would love to see a spinoff game with all the village features he suggested

18:06 I’ve always wanted rope ladders in Minecraft. They’d function similarly to ropes in Terraria and would basically serve as a ladder block that doesn’t always need a wall behind it. You could place as many rope ladders on the top block as needed for it to reach the bottom (like reverse scaffolding) and would not break so long as the highest rope ladder block is attached to a wall (like vines). The crafting recipe could be something like 6 string on both sides of the crafting grid with sticks filling the middle. There are so many features like this that the community’s been begging for, and I wish Mojang would just cut loose and add some (though it is smart to be cautious).

Love all of these suggestions - inventory is definitely the biggest issue brought up here. You didn't mention chopping trees. At the moment, a haste beacon does not affect the speed of chopping trees - and I personally would love to see haste chopping and insta mining logs.

Its funny this video just popped up on my feed, we were just talking in my own server regarding backpacks and how it should be an exclusive slot to have a backpack on your person as an social slot of sorts like armor, and that backpack is either crafted or obtained in some way but can add inventory extra and is specifically in your inventory. Upgrades could be found throughout the world as well to increase it's size which could help encourage the exploration part, perhaps the backpack is obtained by saving the villagers and additional pockets can be uniquely added to it in order to increase it by 1-3 slots

Here are the things I would add or change: 1. Give tamed dogs, cats, and birds the same ability to wander that sheep, cows, and horses have, in addition to being able to be told to wait or follow you. This would allow you to add some life to your structures by having your pets explore it. 2. The ability to side with the Illagers in some capacity. What I was thinking, is the ability to don Illager armor and then interact with them, being able to trade for things that regular villagers don't offer, and for a different currency. Think like a middle-ground between villager trading and piglin bartering. The trade-off being, is wearing Illager gear near a village will make them react the same way they react to hostile mobs, and lower your reputation with them, and being seen interacting with villagers (or having the hero of the village) status makes Illagers hostile to you no matter what. 3. Some kind of use for copper. 4. A ball of yarn item. How it would work, is when you used it it would leave a trail behind you that could stretch for upward of so many blocks, so you could follow it to navigate back to a starting spot. 5. Nether variants for villagers. Not have naturally spawning villages in the Nether, but if you actually force villagers through a portal and into a village there, give them unique variants to reflect that they live there like Piglin-style armor and make them look mean.

It’s actually wild how much time has passed since minecraft came out. I feel old as well

On the topic of inventory, I think a big step to making inventory management easier would be making more items stackable. Boats, Bowls, Water Buckets, Water Bottles, etc.

What I want is a potion recipe book. And the ability to just throw in all the ingredients at once

Bats should be able to help grant things like night vision or echolocation like the Warden kinda has
