My only gripe about the legendary sandbox game is that Mojang seems to work at a glacial pace, without much community input; save the recent updates and bug tracking from Mojira.
Vanilla is kinda boring. I just feel like certain mods/plugins, such as OptiFine, TooManyItems, WorldEdit, Carpenter's Blocks, etc. don't seem that hard to implement into the actual game. Mojang has implemented popular mods before (the horse used to be a mod). I don't see why they can't go through the effort to implement some of the truly amazing mods out there. That would benefit their relationship with their community.
