Minecraft on the PSP2 would be awesome, but I understand it's only on the Xperia because of Android 
That looks super awkward to play without dual analog sticks. I love how the Xperia has convenient holes where two analog sticks would fit perfectly.. just laughing at you for no good reason on an incredibly pricey device.
Did Ericsson ever explain the reason behind the phantom sticks? What a joke.
Looking forward to seeing it on iPad and NGP.

While waiting for the next project I thought it would be fun to build inside a mountain, way too much mining though...oh well, some pics(work in progress):
Main entrance by day
And by night
Failed lake building (got to ask Ark to save me ^^)
Inside, some of the floors got really big tbh, not sure what do do with them
And to top it off this mountain was a monsterinfested shithole. Way too much stuff dropping from holes I forgot to fix, had a spawner too. *sigh*

Actually there could be alot of things added still. Notch said he planned the updates up until next November, wich is the month where the game will pass from "beta" to "final". He even said that there is more for the game and that it will continue to be updated after that. The date is just... to have a date. Also, they have to decide to quit the "beta" phase one day.

I made a post about it a few pages back, but just to say it again: the game could really use more "late game" content. Once you've got a couple dozen stacks of redstone, it'd be nice to have something really interesting to make with it. Right now there's a HUGE gap in complexity between a redstone-wired double-door and some insanely huge redstone computer. There just aren't enough things that use redstone at the moment that really let you get super-creative with your contraptions.
I've been messing around with some SP mods lately, and a lot of people there have some rather interesting ideas. Stuff like Buildcraft (pipes that can carry/sort items, automatic quarries, auto-crafting tables that can be used to make automated factories, etc) really allows for some useful, yet not instanely complicated, things to build.
There's also plenty of room for more variety in stuff to see. He's going the right direction with the upcoming tall grass that only grows in certain biomes, so hopefully there's more to come now that he's been on a bug-fixing spree.

So you guys seem knowledgeable about his Minecraft doohicky gamerthingy mcbobber.
I've played the PC gamer demo. It was fun. However I don't care for buying it through the site. I hear rumors say it's going to be on Steam. Any truth to this?

Well yea. I couldn't see putting a game in beta on Steam either. I was talking about finished Minecraft. lol
I too would want some receipes to be more universal.
Slabs receipe and stairs receipe? It should work with all materials. This logic should be kept from everything it can apply to. Also, besides everything Notch already want to add (wich is awesome stuff) I would like them to devellop fauna and flora a little more. I would like at least 10-15 animal kinds and way many more plants and flowers. They don't even need to all drop something or be used in receipes, it would be there mostly for immersion until they might be used in a receipe someday.

I want to be able to make stairs and slabs out of anything including wool if only for use on roofs so I'm not restricted to wood or stone. I'd even take Netherrack stairs.
And I want to be able to get anything back that I place down. Currently you can't reclaim pressure plates and I think wood half steps.

Notch wants it on Steam.Ark said:
Oh, man, there is so much that could be added to make Minecraft a more exciting and complete game.bengraven said:
Fantastical underground mushroom forests! NPC towns (he already confirmed he wants this in the game)! Super-dense jungles that you have to hack your way through to explore, with all new rewards and dangers! Biome-specific creatures and monsters! Improved dungeons to make them fun to not only discover, but to explore!
I don't know how touchy people are in here on the subject - sometimes fanboys is cray-zay - but I think Minecraft could learn a lot from Terraria. While Terraria fails miserably in the creative aspect, it far surpasses Minecraft when it comes to exploring the world. I certainly don't want Minecraft to become combat-focused and action-oriented, but I was bored of exploring underground ages ago. It's always the same goddamn thing, no matter how deep you go. Even the lakes of lava are tiny, and enclosed by rock. I know there's the nether world, of course, but you have to specifically build the portal to get there, so it's not as if you're actually discovering something neat. You just know it's there and work toward it.

If one truly understand that Minecraft is a pure sandbox game (therefore quite unique and new as a game genre), pretty much ANYTHING can be added to it. Theorically, this game can improve infinetely until it is someday "real life 2". Because real life is in fact a huge sandbox.
So yeah, basically, any system and behaviors they want to add to the game, it's good. As long as it stays a sandbox game (aka you put systems and behaviors in place, not goals).

Even something like simple pulley and gears systems would be a very welcome addition, and a forge to melt down iron ingots to turn into mechanical parts. I just want more stuff to craft, because at the moment I end up building huge structures and then going "now what?" because there's just nothing to fill it with other than bookshelves, benches, beds, fountains, gardens and other forms of ornamentation that I've included in my structures dozens of times now. Give me new stuff to fire the imagination please.
