[*:23a141t5]Fish mobs: bengurney: "Will there ever be fish mobs? Your answer decides whether I spend ludicrous amounts of time on an underwater city with an ocean view." Notch: "there will!" (Dec 01, 2010) [*:23a141t5]Decoration objects: hrofty: "it would be nice to have something to put inside empty rooms. Cupboards, tables, chairs, armorweaponstands, mats, etc." Notch: "coming! And decoration shelves where you can store visible items." (Nov 29, 2010) [*:23a141t5]Realistic mode: Notch: "The more I think about realistic mode with food and water bars (and weight limits?), the more fun it seems." (Nov 28, 2010) Notch: "It will be optional if we add it, yes. Realism slider. At the other extreme, you get Creative Mode from Minecraft Classic." (Nov 28, 2010) FeverSK: "Don't do just one slider. Add multiple checkboxes. Do I want to have to eat food? Do I want monsters?, etc. Layers of realism." Notch: "im thinking a slider, and an "advanced" button with checkboxes" (Nov 28, 2010) [*:23a141t5]Creative mode in Alpha: Techrocket9: "If you are not planning to add a creative mode to Alpha, would you pretty please consider backporting sneaking to creative?" Notch: "alpha is getting creative mode!" (Nov 25, 2010) [*:23a141t5]Underwater torch/light source: Durreta: "what about a torch that could be used under water? like a torch in a glass box would be great for making things under water" Notch: "oh, good idea!" (Nov 25, 2010) [*:23a141t5]Flags: ToMzorz_hu: "what about making 'physical' flags to set PvP areas and hostile mob spawning areas? + a 'favourite servers' menu would be great :)" Notch: "like the planned land claim flags? Good idea!" (Nov 25, 2010) [*:23a141t5]Longer days/nights cycle: spartanbard: "Have you considered different day/night timing modes? Perhaps even real-time days and nights?" Notch: "no, but now I have! Real time would probably work best in SMP" (Nov 25, 2010) [*:23a141t5]Cake: DrMeatBoy: "Is it true you're adding cake to the game? That is, if minecraft wins indie of the year.." Notch: "it is true!" (Nov 23, 2010) [*:23a141t5]The Mojang logo: Mysticpoot: "What exactly does your logo symbolise? I've been wondering about it since I first saw it." Notch: "It's abstract. It kinda looks like a sewing machine" (Nov 22, 2010) [*:23a141t5]Android version: olihere: "will there be a app for android to later on ?" Notch: "i hope so" (Nov 22, 2010) [*:23a141t5]iPhone/iPad version: HAZ3LL: "will there be an official Minecraft app for the iPhone/iPad?" Notch: "I hope so, yes." (Nov 22, 2010) [*:23a141t5]Music boxes in multiplayer: DirectGaming: "I noticed that music now works in SMP, but it's not server based. Are there any plans to add this support to music-boxes?" Notch: "Yes, it's coming! Once I get around to it, that is.." (Nov 17, 2010) [*:23a141t5]Removing name labels, perhas group-based: Jossi2011: "are you going to add a mechanic to remove nameplates? Perhaps a group system that shows the nameplates only of those your the group?" Notch: "Yes, and making them per-team is a great idea!" (Nov 17, 2010) [*:23a141t5]On Minecraft clones: Notch: "Btw, there is no official iPhone or android minecraft yet. If you're working on a clone, that's cool, but please don't imply it's ours." Quatroking: "are they allowed to make money off it?" Notch: "well, sure. Ideas are meant to spread. But i wish they try to make it original rather than a straight clone." (Nov 15, 2010) [*:23a141t5]Minecraft will remain in development for a long time: panzerKRUSH: "I love Minecraft, but when is the release? The never ending bug fix/create cycle with patches is turning me away from the game :(" Notch: "I'm going to keep adding to it for a long time" (Nov 12, 2010) [*:23a141t5]The Nether is only metaphorically "down there": Killspammer: "@RecovOne Down there? there must be a way to dig down to it then MUSTT DIGGG" Notch: "Metaphorical "down there"! Because it's called the "Nether". *shifty eyes*" (Nov 11, 2010) [*:23a141t5]Minecraft will probably never be feature complete: Noctale: "I thought beta was feature complete? Surely you won't get named monsters, skill trees and everything else in as well?" Notch: "minecraft will probably never be feature complete.." (Nov 11, 2010) [*:23a141t5]Beta only when SMP works well: murpo: "if you do server side health now will it be completed before beta" Notch: "Beta happens when SMP works well, and that includes having server side health" (Nov 11, 2010) [*:23a141t5]Notch's humorous cop-out for lamps, for the time being: InvernessMoon: "The Boo Update isn't complete until you finally add lamps. =(" Notch: "LAMPS is short for Light A-givin' Material Portal Side. It's the yellow stone thing. Ok? #retcon" (Nov 11, 2010) [*:23a141t5]SMP working is a priority until the game reaches beta. Then we'll get more content.: blindgeekuk: "how about an option for neither of those? I don't play SMP minecraft..." Notch: "SMP has priority now unti beta. Then, MOAR CONTENT!!" (Nov 11, 2010) [*:23a141t5]Better double doors: Mahkia: "I'm curious if you have any plans to make switch controlled double doors easier to construct, or if you're happy with it now." Notch: "I'm not happy with it, but I ran out of data for the doors. =/" (Nov 10, 2010)

It is just a block of text--I would love to read it--but it is nearly impossible to because the words are so condensed...
