I love happy Ghasts’ and I think they are a great addition to the game, but I really think they need a speed update. Maybe give them stats like horses? I don’t know the solution, but it’s really crazy how SLOW they are. It doesn’t feel proportional to their general utility.

Love them though

Perhaps not the most urgent thing but it would be nice if Minecraft added support for Kurmanji and Sorani (and maybe zazaki or some other less spoken dialects)

Before someone says this isn't super important, adding Lojban to the list of languages was also never that important (Lojban is a constructed language for context)

For some reason, not too many people are talking about this, and I think it's such a big deal if implemented, and a massive missed opportunity if not. The title is self-explanatory, but it would basically allow iceballs to be more accessible aside from fighting frostbites and give us a way to compact lots of iceballs to free up inventory space, considering they're only stackable to 16 like other projectiles. Moreover, since the iceball texture is not transparent and is closer to packed ice's color, it makes even more sense. There's even been a feedback site thread as well as a few feedback Discord threads suggesting this, but it's gained very little traction. So I thought I'd bring it to attention here!

(I heavily encourage you to upvote the above linked threads, especially if you happen to be in the MC feedback Discord!)

Inspired by this post I “saw” earlier: https://www.reddit.com/r/minecraftsuggestions/s/LpE3AL3b6f

Idea

My idea is that using a saw on a block would knock it down a peg to a smaller variant. So sawing a wooden plank would turn it into a wooden stair, sawing it again would turn it into a slab, and sawing a slab would break it, dropping a single plank item.

For the stair, the orientation of the stair would depend on what angle you approach the block from when you saw it. Sawing on the top half makes the stair right-side-up, while sawing on the bottom half makes it upside down. Which way it’s facing depends on which way you look at it from.

It would work on anything with stair and slab variants, including stone.

Crafting

The crafting recipe would be a stick, an iron ingot, and another iron ingot, from left to right.

I think this would be cool because

a) it allows us to “stonecut” wood

b) it’s faster and helpful for small, quick changes to a build

Basically just TNT crafted with Soul Sand/Soil instead of Sand. It explodes a larger area than regular TNT, but the tradeoff is it replaces some of the surrounding blocks with Soul Sand/Soil with Soul Fire on it. I don't know, I thought of this and think it's a decent idea. What does Reddit think?

Thanks to Minecraft Dungeons 2, a potential method for activating the portal to the SIFT dimension has been leaked. However, using note blocks feels a bit too cheap and easy—they’re just too simple to obtain. My idea is to introduce a special item to help activate the SIFT portal, without needing to replace the note blocks themselves.

CRYSTAL SKULLS

IMAGE 1: A note block can emit the sounds of a specific mob if a mob head is placed on top of it (e.g., a zombie head produces zombie sounds). If you place a crystal skull on top instead, it will emit beautiful, long, resonant sounds—reminiscent of the tones produced by amethyst.

IMAGE 2: Crystal skulls exist in the real world; they are human-shaped skulls carved from quartz, "often associated with Aztec legends and said to possess mystical powers".

IMAGE 3: Crystal skulls could be found in underwater ruins and trail ruins—the same structures where you can currently find pottery shards (SINGER) and sniffer eggs—which, in theory, could belong to the SIFT dimension.

IMAGE 4: To activate the portal to the SIFT dimension, you would need to arrange the note blocks—with their respective crystal skulls on top—in a specific sequence. This would cause the skulls to resonate and produce a beautiful, harmonious sound together.

In my opinion, this would be a much better way to activate such a valuable portal. But what do you think?

So here is how it works:

Happy ghast can dispense a water block/bucket infront of it.

If the water happens to be placed on/next to another block then it creates a waterfall.

This can be a faster way of getting up and down instead of steering the ghast itself.

However if the water is placed with only air surrounding it then it will be similar to how waterfalls go down after removing their source block.

This can be a great way to deal with fires due to how fast and high they spread.

You could also use it to jump off the ghast and survive or clear out mobs beneath you (since water pushes them)

Perhaps it's output could change depending on what you feed it.

Snowballs = water

Iceballs = ice

Though I'm not too sure how a floating block of ice would be too useful.

I prefer the larger oceans we had back in the day. I understand why certain people don't like the huge distances they had to cross. One of the issues is that there is just too much boring open space with nothing to explore, but why not add actual Islands as a biome to fill in the gaps?

Off the top of my hat I can think of:

• Volcanic islands
• Palmtrees (and coconuts)
• Larger beaches
• Jungle islands
• Island groups
• Classic small survival islands with a single tree
• Island villages (with tiki torches as a new light source)
• ...

I know that regular terrain generation can already create islands, but these are rare and not really purposely made to be islands.

Also, why can't there be a middle ground? There could be continents, but the distance between them doesn't have to be that huge. At least we wouldn't have just ponds between land like we have now. It's either been huge oceans or tiny "oceans", but why not a size in between like regular or large?

The talk around the new Packed Ice Bricks got me thinking. What if you could use Ice Balls (or perhaps a new item, Ice Balls are just the best fit I can think of) to apply 'Frost' to certain blocks, like how you use Honeycomb to apply wax?

All it does is make the block slippery, to the same degree as a regular Ice Block.

As for what blocks in particular it'd be applicable to... I'm honestly not entirely sure? But my first thoughts are Packed Ice Bricks, Snow blocks, and any "stone" type blocks (Stone/Deepslate/Granite/Calcite/End Stone etc etc)

It would probably have to either be more conservative with what blocks it can apply to, or simply be a block state rather than an actual change in blocks like waxing. Otherwise I think this would really mess up the creative menu

Suspicious Snow Artifacts/Treasure:
Like the title implies, what if as an extra bonus element of resource gathering in frozen caves, copy over the suspicious sand mechanic over to snow blocks.
With these snow blocks, a brush is needed to uncover treasures, leaning more into the “lost items vibe.” Either your classic minerals and treasures, or the odder items you might find while fishing, etc.

Frozen in Ice Artifacts:
A more drastic addition would be Ice-Encased [Encasing Ice ?] treasures.
Similar to the snow above, but you can see the item frozen in the center, meaning bones, artefacts, and maps could be more fun in this scenario.

Breaking it with a Silk Touch Pickaxe, drops both the Encasing Ice as well as the item within. (Also it “pops-upward” from the ice, like uncovered suspicious sand items, to work with ideas below.)

This means it could make an excellent display case as well, maybe created by dropping an item in water surrounded by 4-6(?) brittle ice blocks.

It could even spawn naturally in the center of a sheet of brittle ice, creating an “Indiana Jones-type” scenario where you need to dig it up before the ice breaks under you.

…Alternates rules for Stuck-in-Ice Artifacts:
…If you don’t want it to be ‘silk-touch-locked’, it could just be a trigger block, causing all brittle ice to shatter around it. This could work with trope-y “treasure in a wall of ice:” freeing a bunch of ice zombies at the same time as the treasure.
Or you need to break the directly adjacent ice (then the treasure one) or both the treasure is lost and the ice shatters below you…
