Frequently Posted Suggestions

Here is a comprehensive list of suggestions that have been posted many times before. If your suggestion matches one of these, please make sure that it offers something new or original to every other time it has been proposed, otherwise it will be removed.

If a recent or upcoming update makes an idea more practical or essential than before, then it may also be posted, as long as it adds something NEW to the concept and isn't just a repeat of old ideas that have been done to death.

Bear in mind, most of these suggestions aren’t necessarily "bad". In fact, many of them are objectively good ideas that just have the misfortune of being posted too many times to be considered unique anymore. Always remember that even if an idea is on this list, it can still have a chance to be implemented in some way (crossbows, pandas, scaffolding, coral, and many other features in the game were once FPS list entries too).

“But I can’t read every entry - it’s too long!”

No worries - there’s some handy tools you can use if you want to look for a specific entry.

  1. Use the categories (e.g. Blocks, Utility, Mobs). Scroll through the categories that are appropriate for your post, and see if there’s an FPS entry for your idea.

  2. Use CTRL+F if you’re on PC. This brings up a prompt that you can use to search for key terms.

  3. Perhaps the most elegant method: Go to the #bots-n-spam channel in our Discord, and use Titanium Bot, which is a very useful bot made by u/TitaniumBrain. Use the command .f [keyword] to search both the FPS list.

Give feedback on the list

You can give feedback to the FPS list itself by commenting on this post. Feel free to let us know whenever you like if there's a change or addition to be made, and we'll let you know if it should be added or not.

Hot Topics

This section is reserved for ideas that are unlikely to be frequently suggested for a long period of time, but are being suggested a lot recently, likely due to snapshot hype.
