What To Suggest

The lead developer of Minecraft, Notch, is someone that is always open to change and new ideas. He is heavily involved with his community, and if you're ever not pleased with something, you can suggest a change. Submitting it here will assist you in getting your ideas out. I review all submissions and publish the best on a weekly basis.

Narrative
Currently there is not a narrative with any real substance. You're a miner, and there's a mob of monsters that want you dead. Build a shelter and survive. But maybe you're simply not ok with this? Perhaps you would like quests? Or maybe a dragon and his minions have a vicious grip on a friendly city, and you must seek out and help these cities? The choice is yours, and to most effectively have your suggestion published you must go in depth. This includes, but is not limited to, how it works with current gameplay, new items necessary, new recipes, new mobs, and core gameplay mechanics.

New Gametypes
Currently, the two gametype modes are creative and survival. Perhaps you would like more? Maybe more Multiplayer gametypes? Maybe a zombie apocalypse? Notch suggested CTF, perhaps you'd like to expand the idea. The things you'll need to have to have the highest chance of being published is the core mechanics, level of customization, and single player or MP availability.

New Features/Items
Maybe you're tired of falling off of things? Suggest a parachute! Any problem you have with the game currently, may be able to be fixed by putting in a new item. Just tell me the uses, the recipe, the reason it's needed, and you'll be well on your way to getting accepted.

If there's anything else you'd like to suggest that wasn't covered here, please, be my guest to suggest it.
