    When Notch first added chests I built a double chest and filled it full of a bunch of random crap like dirt and sand and planks.

Makes me wonder how Minecraft would have turned out if he continued running it instead of selling it to Microsoft.

    I believe that the "isometric screenshot" feature was potentially added for the purpose of light/shadow map generation. Light and shadows in games are usually generated in a way where one of the first steps involves rendering the world from each light's perspective. The POV of a directional light (the only type of real dynamic light in Minecraft) is usually orthographic (straight lines with no perspective), so the "isometric screenshot" may have been a test of part of a way to implement dynamic light and shadows in Minecraft, which would definitely look a lot better than what we ended up with.

    Maybe they could add Rana back as an NPC that appears in small villages in the swamps. They’ll attack slimes and use slime blocks as currency. They can also obtain random items from the slimes they kill, allowing one to potentially trade slime blocks for those items. It’s usually mundane stuff like dirt, gravel, kelp, or the kinds of junk found in fishing, but sometimes it’s really valuable stuff like gold or even diamonds. Alternatively, they could be tribes that you befriend to defend your home from all hostiles. I just would really like Rana to not only be added back, but also fleshed out.
