=Person= My name is Max and I'm an inventor :P Practically I just hang around and come up with ideas. Usually I just post them on forums, but I got fed up with people leaving stupid comments so I will keep my ideas here.

In case a Game Dev visits this page, I'd like to add that I'm a graphic design student and I'd love to make some Pixel Art designs, as I have experience with them.

=Ideas=

Slablock
A simple idea of creating a single block that can be inserted under another block, which is impossible by placing two slabs on top of each other.

Wire isolation
This is what came to me some time ago. It's a block containing a wire inside, that can be used to drive few wires next to each other without causing interference. Can be built in different ways to create various kinds of blocks. I would also suggest a possibility to create multi-vein ones so you can have more than one wire on a single block. Building with it would be extra tricky, because you would need to connect blocks in proper way, while now redstone wires will connect when simply placed next to each other.

I tried to make a grid showing how it works, but apparently I can't and I don't want to upload another one. Well, think of a bookshelf making grid with glass instead of planks and redstone instead of books.

Golden stuff and magic
As we know already, Gold is a softer material than iron so it's kind of shittier for work. But I think gold tools can be used for enhancing with magic. For example faster cutting trees, increased durability or sword-like damage when fighting. These enhancements would be possible to make with addition of new items: magic dust (mined underground around the gold level) and gems other than diamond, which spawn as a single cube and can be only mined with a diamond pickaxe. Then the player puts golden tool with 100% durability, one gem and a magic dust in the workbench and takes the enhanced tool.

Backpack
A tool made of leather that is placed in a special slot next to character on inventory menu, extends inventory by additional 27 slots.

Barbacue
Barbacue will allow player to cook more food - I had porkchops in my mind when making this one up but it can be used with anything. It is made just like forge but with an iron ingot placed instead of middle top cobble.

Well, the output will not be the furnace, but it may look like it with a grill on top. When opened it will have 8 places to put items, one place to put fuel and button "ignite" to start cooking. Can be fueled with anything, but only (char)coal will give 8/8 cooks, rest of items will leave some uncooked. It cannot be used for smelting.

Bushes
A new item - bushes. It will have two versions, first, normal - like a tree leaves with brown branches inside, not transcludent, and second, the same but with little berries on it. Berries can be picked by hand and the bush can be removed by anything, but removing it with a hoe is the only way to get the block. Berries can be used in cakes or to make dye, best if there are few colours of them.

That will make forests look more "foresty" - bushes grow on the grass, not on trees - and give an option to place something green and leafy by players (as leaves are not pickable). Also the berries.

Red Berries
Used with grass and bucket of water to create health potion.

Blue Berries
Used with cake ingredients to make a blue berry cake.

Green Berries
Used with Glass and bucket of water to create a poison that can be used with sword or arrows.

Climbable trees
Additionally it would be cool if there were tree branches that can be climbed on. I think they could look like flat bushes but grow on trees and act as ladders, covering side of a branches block

Damage
Now that items have names after you hover on them it's possible to show the item's durability, like: "Wooden Shovel (15/65)"
