MINECRAFT - THE THEME PACKAGE MOD IDEA

Sup bros :D This is my entry to the "Minedeas Contest". A mod, seperating Minecraft into different packages of age and content of stuff to choose from, to keep the players freedom while evolving Minecraft.

First to notice, this is only an idea for the contest.

The main idea:
The idea of this mod is to add several packages of blocks and items and maybe even mobs to choose from when creating a new world. This means you'd have a list of packages where you could activate the packages when you spawn in a new world, enabling/disabling a "Set" of special themed things. The purpose of this is to add new opportunities to Minecraft without destroying the feeling of special things. For example: Imagine, someday there'd be added oil to Minecraft (Like in the Buildcraft Mod) for building machines and you want to build something like a medieval fantasy world, but those ugly modern oil deposits are everywhere, destroying the feeling of a fantasy-like world. Well, with this mod it wouldn't happen. The oil would belong to something like an "Industrial Package", so you would only choose the "Medieval" and "Fantasy"-Packages and your world would only include such things.

A better description and explicit examples:
These "Theme Packages" would include for example things like:
- "Industrial Package" including new machines and modern things like steampower or oil.
- "Medieval Package" themed for people, who want to build a realistic, medieval world and castles and so on.
- "Fantasy Package", that would contain the potion brewing stuff, enchanting tables and many decorating blocks.
- "Steampunk Package" with new decorating blocks like rusted iron, new machine-like mobs and new opportunities for maybe a new ore like bronze.

There would be many possible packages, I just wanted to give you an idea about the new possibilities created by this mod.
Or an even better example: You know those people hating that Minecraft becomes more "RPG-Like"? With this mod they'd only have to turn off the "Adventure Package" (Responsible for things like the levels and the hunger bar) or leave the "Basic Package" (Turning Minecraft back to the style of the old days, 1.6 for example) the only one turned on.
And if you just want the normal Minecraft, just activate all packages. Many benefits, no limitations.
Also this mod could be used for a better development of new mods. Players could create their mods as such "Theme Packages", making it much easier to get an overview over the mod itself, to (de)activate mods and to keep them clear without messing up with them.

To summarize this up:
The mod would allow Minecraft to evolve more and more, but still leave the players the freedom to choose how their personal Minecraft should be, solving problems like people hating just specific parts of Minecraft like the new RPG-Features.

I hope that you like the idea and think about the new things it'd make possible. Also I'm sorry for the few (And also bad) pictures, because I'm not even quite good at drawing and art, but as the mods actual purpose is the seperation of different sets and not the adding of new stuff, it is not the biggest problem.

So, good luck to everyone entering the contest :D

This would be a crapload of work, but that sounds really cool. Good idea.
