Sprinting Modifier
With the current method of sprinting, it can be nearly impossible to sprint on older machines or on laggy servers. Many people want a modifier set to, or with sneak moved to.

I would like to propose using two modifiers, the and  keys, which are set to  and  by default. These keys, when held at the same time, negate each other.

Benefits over current system:
 * In most cases, it is logical to have your fingers hovering over the, , and keys. You would not need to reach for a modifier.
 * Satisfies the "Press harder (or more keys) to move faster" instinct, without killing the keyboard.
 * By default, the keys form an arrow due to their positions on the keyboard.
 * Strafing, which allowed you to move faster in some games, involves holding two directional keys.

Debug Screen Configuration
The debug screen is very cluttered. Most of the stuff is quite useful, but some people may want to know their framerate without seeing their coordinates, entity count, or seed. In some cases, on older or slower machines, much of the information is impossible to see due to the framerate graph covering it up. The pie chart is also nice, but some people absolutely hate circles.

I propose a user-editable debug screen configuration file. The most important entries would be the framerate graph, coordinates, seed, and pie chart.

But what if something goes terribly wrong and the player wants to know more than their config file lets them see? Have an extra shortcut to override the config file. ++ has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

Changing Game Modes
An in-game option to change game modes would be awesome. It should also be possible to flag a world as unchangeable at map creation.

Maps
Four iron and a piece of redstone per map is a bit expensive.

Proposed solution

To create a blank map:

The blank map can then be crafted with dyes (or a compass?) to produce a usable map.
