There are some games I would love to play as spinoffs.

A platformer that you could make levels, a racer where you can make a track etc. Pretty much look at all the "game" mods you can get and make a laod of those, and from those if they could bring cars into the main game so you can make rounds in your city/home and then drive about it would be great.

OR they could add craftable vehicles to Minecraft and let players make their own gameplay.

Actually, a more robust physics engine would probably be the biggie for Minecraft 2. Better block movement, better fluid simulation.

Imagine if cave-ins were a thing that could happen.

Mojang. Microsoft releasing Star Wars DLC exclusively on Xbox consoles! :lol:

Image

Starting today, the Star Wars™ Classic Skin Pack will be available for Minecraft only on Xbox One and Xbox 360. Disney, Lucasfilm and Microsoft have teamed up to bring downloadable content packs to Minecraft for Xbox, featuring a collection of 55 skins from Episode IV through Episode VI. Play as your favorite characters from the Galactic Civil War, like the courageous Luke Skywalker, scoundrel Han Solo, or brave and lovable Wicket in this new pack. These may just be the blocks you’re looking for.

Sounds like someone was not being totally straight when they made that announcement video!

Well skins/models aren't exactly evolutionary or innovative.

They've been doing these types of deals for a while, this was in the works for months before they brought Minecraft.

If you guessed that the Doctor Who skins aren’t coming to Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition, you are probably right. Microsoft has made deals with various copyright holders such as Marvel to bring character skins and other content to the Xbox 360 version of the game exclusively.

Not a big deal. You can have these skins on PC easily.

5 years on from MS buying Minecraft, reading through the thread I think we all got it wrong in our own special way.
