There are 4 basic request I have.

1. Remove Crafting Table from the game completely. Remove all temptation.

2. Make the following buyable from a villager.
-Beds (To bypass the night.)
-Doors (Maybe iron to prevent expanding or making villages)
-Haystacks (To tame horses with.)

3. Make the following craftable in the 2x2 grid.
-Wooden Plow
12
12
1=Plank 2=Stick

-Wooden Shovel

02
1=Plank 2=Stick

-Wooden Sword

1=Plank 2=Stick

Paper

11
1=Sugercane

Book=
12
22
1=Leather 2=Paper

Also, basically any item that requires four or less items to craft.

4. Possibly the most important, make villager trade locks time out. Since Villagers are your main source of supply having them lock down can be troublesome as you need to emeralds to buy stuff, and since they'll stop buying off you after a few trades it makes it almost impossible to make any real progress.

Hope everyone enjoys the idea, enough to actually make. Add more if you think of something.
