You know how the last few updates of minecraft had content that was "unorignal" becuase it was done possibly better from a mod.  Yea I do.  Well I got thinking about this and I realized that there is perks for having content in vanilla minecraft rather than a mod.  Sure it seems as though as mojang is running out of ideas, but actually it looks to me as though they'er doing what people want.

Let's start with how this mod to vanilla content changed minecraft.
Horses, Mojang actually whent to the mighty DrZhark creator of mo creatures to help them with horses.  Becuase of this the mount system has never been better.  It used to be that you would have to right click the boat to get off, which got anoying to me.  Now since they decided to add horses they thought mabey we should rewrite the mount system, now it's as easy as shifting and allowing to volley arrows at your foes while ridding a horse.  I've also noticed that all mods that add mounts use this shifting dismount system which to me makes all the mount mods easier to handle.   The update that changed the world also known as 1.7 added new biomes and new fish, not to mention a climat system.  And becuase of this I found Biomes o plenty more enjoyable with the climat system.  The new fishing system makes fishing fun and mods with more fish are just as enjoyable.  in the end these mod inspired (what i prefer to use rather that "stolen") mechanics have affected both minecraft and the mod community.

Now, it's time for a list why suggesting mod inspired content into minecraft is better than using mods themselves.
  • Mods die.  when a mod that has that feature that you love dies (aslo known as discotinued).  but if that feature is implemented it grows a lifespan as long as minecraft itself.
  • compatabilty to with other mods.  when a feature is implemented from a mod to vanilla minecraft, other mod creaters get to expirement with these new features at a higher chance and possibly more stabble way than if they were to use the API from a mod. Also more universal intergration. For example, if the anvil mod wasn't implemented then you would have to find a repair mod that would only repair stuff supported by the mod; But the anvil implemented means universal repairment. :D
  • Vanilla only users get to expirence mod inspired features.  People that used vanilla only and never mods got to ride horses in 1.6
  • Finnaly the big one: INSPIRATION FOR NEW MODS! Mod inspired content inspires new mods.  The snow stacks lead to the creation of the Snow Fall mod (i'll leave a link at the bottom) allowing snow to stack natrualy.
In the end, it's not a bad thing to see mod inspired content or have people suggest it.  You don't know how the minecraft comunity will react and it could quite change minecraft for the better.
