5 Top Minecraft Community Suggestions for Enhancing Gameplay

Over the past 15 years, Mojang Studios has introduced numerous features and modifications to Minecraft. Beyond the developers, the vibrant player community has expressed concerns and contributed to the game’s evolution, shaping it into what it is today. Players continue to discuss various changes and enhancements they hope Mojang Studios will implement in the future.

Here are some of the most popular fan-driven suggestions for modifying, removing, or adding features to Minecraft.

Top Five Fan Suggestions for Minecraft Changes

1) Vertical Terrain in the End Dimension

A Reddit user known as u/COG-85 has proposed that the End dimension incorporate more vertical terrain generation. The rationale is that with Elytra and teleportation being key features of this realm, it would benefit from both higher and lower terrain features.

This idea aligns with the requests from thousands of players advocating for significant changes in the desolate End realm where the Ender Dragon resides.

2) Introduction of Rice as a New Crop

Another Redditor, u/PsychologicalSea6188, humorously suggested that rice be included in Minecraft as a new crop. They highlighted its potential for crafting new food items, prompting a lively discussion among players.

Therefore, integrating rice and other crop types could further enrich the farming dynamics within Minecraft.

3) New Alligator Mob Concept

User u/Starset_fan-2047 posted a concept art for a new Alligator mob, which gained significant traction on the Minecraft Suggestions page. Many users discussed how this mob could be integrated into the game and potentially provide players with unique items for crafting stronger gear.

Introducing Alligators into Minecraft could enhance the game’s biodiversity, especially given Mojang Studios’ history of adding various animals during significant updates.

4) Dynamic Self-Changing Dimension

While the three current realms in Minecraft boast unique biomes, night/day cycles, mobs, and block sets, some players feel that they lack dynamism. Currently, nothing changes without player input.

Redditor u/adstrict4527 suggested that a new dimension should incorporate natural disasters, seasonal changes, or other elements that would allow for a natural evolution of the environment without direct player interference.

The community widely desires the addition of a new, ever-changing dimension from Mojang Studios.

5) Eliminate the “Too Expensive”Anvil Message

The “Too Expensive”message appears on anvils when the cost of enchanting a tool exceeds certain limits. This has frustrated many players, as they are unable to add further enchantments despite having sufficient XP.

Consequently, there have been numerous calls from the player base to remove the “Too Expensive”notification from anvils altogether.
