Minecraft Live is in two days! What do you want to see? What are your predictions? I would love to see decent filters to manage items and inventory; I guess I’ll keep dreaming

    I would love to see a minecart / rail update. They were once a critical piece of Minecraft, now often neglected as there are much better ways to get around.

      It would be sick to have an upgraded minecart or rails. I’d love to have a subway in the nether

      Agreed.

      One thing they could do is replace the gold cost of powered rail with copper, to continue playing in to that utility, and then add a different kind of rail using gold which is capable of greater speeds (maybe not quite boat on blue ice speeds but something close).

      Maybe add “stop/go” rails that don’t require redstone to function, only player input. Can set up a station that stops a cart when you arrive, and then allows it to boost off at higher speed with a single keypress when you get in.

      Let people chain minecarts together to travel with other players or to carry multiple chests worth of items out of a mine.

      Knowing Mojang’s speed of development, they can maybe do one of these things with a lead time of 2 years.
