Farming is a rather essential part of minecraft, so I thought more farming options would be awesome.
To begin with, grapes could be added. They would grow on vines in jungles and villages, and could be brewed into grape juice at a brewing stand with a normal water bottle. Furthermore, when left for about 10 or so minecraft days, the grape juice would mature and become wine. It would be grown next-to water like any other plant, but can only be placed on fence. The grapes themselves can also be eaten as food.

Moving on, I have corn plants. Corn would drop randomly from zombies (like potatoes and carrots) and be found at villages, but would be grown under the same circumstances as sugar cane and not be found out in the normal wilderness . Corn can be crafted in a shapeless recipe with sugar and a bowl to make sweet corn which would be similar to mushroom soup.

Corn and wheat can be put into a grinder, which would produce maize and flour. The grinder would be a place-able utility like the crafting bench and would come up with a GUI similar to the furnace, but without the fuel slot, similar to this GUI of atrain99's bio materials pulverizer from his Green Technology mod:

Wheat or corn could be placed in the slot on the left, and bar in the middle of the two slots would full up and the wheat/corn would appear as flour or maize in the right-hand slot. The grinder would be crafted as follows:

Flour would now be used in the place of wheat in food recipes (bread ect...)
Maize could be crafted with a bowl and a water bottle to make maize meal, and could be cooked in a furnace to make hot porridge.

That is the end of my entry, and I hope you see it as a very good addition suggestion for minecraft. Any modders can feel free to use this idea if they wish, but be sure to let me know if you do!!
