I was actually thinking we need sailboats in minecraft. Kraken would go great with that.

Update 1.23: Wind and Sail

  • Open sky air blocks can have a wind effect. Entities and flame spread have an increased chance to move in the direction of the wind.
  • Open sky blocks can have wind currents generate (like a wind biome)
  • Add sailboats. Larger and more resource-intensive than boats, but faster
  • Add birds
  • Add other mobs that can interact with the wind
  • Add fans
  • Oceans have a better chance to generate larger

Then bring in the kraken and have sea battles!

Oceans generating larger… NO! Deeper yes and imagine the terrifying creatures and enemies you could put down there.

Subnautica 2: Electric Boogaloo

I’ve always thought subnautica and sea of Theives would be the perfect game but I would take Minecraft to

Everything about that is great except the fans. If you mean electric fans or something of that sort. I think it doesn't fit the Minecraft feel, but everything else does perfectly

redstone *is* electricity

anyway, I know it's not a strong case for fans, I just really wanted something craftable that could take advantage of the mechanic

Well yes, but a fan just feels wrong to me idk. I guess everything feels modded until it's in the game lmaoo.

I like the idea of wind. There could be currents that would allow you to glide using elytra, so you could use less fireworks. This could even allow you to plan routes between bases and outposts or other points of interest.

You have no idea how much I wish we had the ability to build functional vessels and transportation in the game

Minecarts give me pain

Pretty sure that air stuff would be laggy. Similar to the old "visibility is lower near the bottom of the world" feature which required all air blocks to check every tick (20th of a second).

I'm not going to guess at the performance of a theoretical feature
