Oh boy, long ramble incoming, though this is just off the top of my head so i may miss a few things:
(side note, a few of these are taken from mods that i have been adoring, which are listed as they are relevant)

Transport
  • Increase Minecart top speed to 34m/s as per the mod “Audaki Cart Engine” (rather than the current 8m/s)
  • Allow for sprinting in boats, which would consume hunger but would be probably be around 3/5 of the ice boat speed (actual speed up for debate but point made)
  • Allow villagers to ride camels and llamas (taken from the mod “Villager Transportation”)
  • Re-implement the changes that mojang made to elytra rocket boosts (where the length of the rocket determines the length of the boost, with length 3 giving a similar boost to currently)
Equipment
  • Implement Combat Snapshot 8C
  • Anvils now consistently cost 1 material + 1 xp level to repair 33% of an item’s durability, no longer have an upper limit for xp levels, and can be repaired by right clicking on them with an iron ingot (as per the mods “Too Cheap!”, “Fixed Anvil Repair Cost”, and “Anvil Restoration”), as well as you can now alternatively use diamonds to repair netherite
  • Netherite Rework (see below)
  • Give a function to the fletching table
Netherite/Protection Rework
  • Remove Fire and Projectile Protection enchantments
  • Remove Knockback Resistance on netherite armour, and instead Blast Protection now gives Knockback Resistance for anything, rather than just explosives
  • Netherite armour now each gives equivalent to fire protection 4, but with the full set giving full fire immunity
  • All netherite tools/weapons now inherently have the equivalent of Fire Aspect 1, with actual fire aspect boosting it further
Villagers
  • Implement Villager Rework With the changes below
  • Remove Mending from villager trading pools (replaced with Unbreaking 3, with the Jungle Master Librarian getting Quick Charge 3)
  • Enchanted Books can now be placed in a lectern, with the linked librarian now selling that book (probably replaces one of their common enchanted books), as per the mod “Villager Rebalance”
  • Remove Curses from all pools except looted equipment, i.e. curse books unobtainable in survival (trades probably replaced by trident/crossbow/axe enchantments)
Storage
  • Implement Bundles, but allow for crafting it with leather
  • Rework bundles to allow scrolling through the items in it, rather than only being able to access the last item inputted; as well as allowing unstackable items / bag items (see next) to only take up 8 items rather than the full 64
  • Bag Items: a select few item groups (i.e. flowers, books, stones, ores, or saplings. can’t think of any more off the top of my head atm) can now be stacked amongst themselves, forming a “Bag of ___” (for example a “Bag of Saplings” could be a stack of 32 Oak saplings, 16 Spruce saplings, and 16 Cherry saplings)
General Other
  • Implement lost biome votes, as well as the rest of the Wild Update
  • Add performance improvements that other mods add (for example multithreading, or hopper optimisation) to make vanilla bearable to play
  • Implement the BetterF3 mod
  • Make glow squids glow
  • Remove the following items: minecart with furnace, beetroot [+ soup/seeds], rabbit hide, phantom membrane (and phantoms entirely, see below for elytra repair)
  • New elytra repair material: Membrane (crafted using leather + popped chorus fruit)
  • Maps are retroactive
  • Edit: also update the Programmer’s Art texturepack (see “Programmer’s Art Ultimate” texturepack)

If I owned 100% of Microsoft shares?

Where to even start, you’re now in complete possession of one of the planet’s largest corporations (as well as probably instantly being the richest person on the planet). For starters you should probably read A LOT of books on company management, along with as many completely top class teachers you can find. You need to learn every trick in the book and much, much more!

With your newfound knowledge begin stabilizing the company. Not only do you essentially have the final say in anything, since the company is no longer public it means that its value is no longer tied to its growth. What this translates into is that as long as you handle everything according to your training, then you can take as long as you want with it. So go wild! Investigate and uproot corruption! Dismantle the irrational hierarchies put in place by the power hungry bastards who preceded you! Power doesn’t corrupt, it merely reveals ones own values, and you posses what no world leader has ever held in the past before… A shining desire for honesty, trust and true progress!

Once the company has been internally stabilized you can look at the ludicrous numbers of departments and resources it possess. Surround yourself with the greatest talents the world possesses. Create an unshakable headquarters from which you can handle it all. A true think tank of virtue!

Start pouring massive funds into tech and research development, fund schools and universities, remake the entire education system from scratch to prioritize passion development and positive learning environments. Fill the next generation’s foundational heart with joy and appreciation, and watch them become masters of themselves!

From your tech investments inevitably achieve massive breakthroughs, with a steady hand and overflowing aspiration become the guiding spearhead of all of humanity’s progress. Massive developments into medicine, engineering, agriculture, exotic fields, social sciences! All done without seeking to gain a cent of profit, but rather to keep pushing upwards for the sake of stopping all of the insanity humanity has long gone through!

The more you breakthrough the more your powers and influence grow. Possessing a soft monopoly over the fundamentals of society has a naturally exponential factor within your abilities, having no monetary incentive within the products you generate has massive effects upon general quality of life, the price of newer and newer products keeps dropping more and more! Socials science breakthroughs let you create the first golden age for mental health, your passive influence lets you lobby politicians by simply glancing at them!

With all of this start deconstructing the fundamental corrupt building blocks of society, you don’t need hate, ignorance or suffering to manipulate others into agreeing with your ideals after all! Racism? Homophobia? Transphobia? Prejudice of any kind Begone! Eventually gain the capacity to strike at the original root of your power, capitalism itself! Betray humanity’s great betrayer! Who even needs a government when everyone finds themselves willing to help keep pushing everything forwards! Even with no direct material reward!

As you begin to grow old and look at the world you’ll gladly be able to hand-of to the next generations you’ve helped so much, you find yourself as the most fulfilled person in all of humanity’s history… If only you could fully enjoy the results of all of your hard labor… Wait! Turns out the field of metaneurological engineering just had a major breakthrough! They’ve managed to discover the fundamentals behind transferring consciousness into robotic bodies. They even prepared a robot catgirl body for you to transition into. Turns out you’ll be able to see how this world goes on for much much longer!

I’m sure that when we’re together, not even entropy will stand a chance!

immediately open sourcing it. joking… maybe… kinda…

but actual updates i would do is mostly around exploration just all over. I would add way more structures to the game that keep with the feel while also being useful. give better more interesing drops to the real hard to find places ( like the mansion). but i would also make things more likely in some biomes, i think the villager update thats coming is a good start but im not a fan of completely cutting off things from certain biomes. as well make traveling with a lot of stuff easier, making a more “nomadic” style of play more viable

give certain ores higher spawn chance in different biomes, so if someone needs A LOT of one ore they can go there. make actual cave biomes, not just 2 random ones, also add more variety to caves with things like the amethyst cluster.

I would also revamp the biomes that where voted on, but also add all the mobs from the mob votes. infact mob votes wouldnt exist, it would just be 3 mobs that get added.

and lastly idk how but i would have the food situation fixed, its pretty lack luster, and doesnt really feel that great to use

Pydots I love you.

Add trains, Railcraft style, with minecart linking.

Remove phantoms.

Add a couple new tree types (ebony, balsa, baobab, willow, hazel, cedar) - add to existing biomes and/or make a few new biome variants for them. It's always nice to have more building blocks and wood colors to choose from.

Add an official version of the building wand you sometimes see in mods - basically a tool that lets you place multiple blocks at once.

Likewise, add a version of the Tinker's Construct hammer (maybe craft it with obsidian), which will break stone tier blocks in a 3x3 pattern.

Add a few of the rejected mob vote creatures (like the moobloom).

Add more special cave biomes and features, like a rare fungal one for instance. Mostly for visual variety and some new blocks.

Cows can eat mycelium to turn into mooshrooms

Add a blueprint system. Basically a tool that will save a file containing the layout of an area you specify; you can later place a block down, select the file via a GUI, and activate it so your client sees a phantasmal projection of the blueprint. If you want to actually replicate the blueprint you still have to build the thing, but it gives you a guide.

Edit:
Overall I really want to push the game a little more in the direction of a building game, as collecting and building stuff is the real strength of the core game, whereas there's so much focus on the combat in many of the updates which is just kind of "okay", as well as crawling through canned ruins which loses its appeal after the first time.

Maybe it could lean more towards building infrastructure of sorts, but I'm not sure how to do that in a way that doesn't feel weirdly tacked on. As much as I like stuff like the Create mod it feels a bit strange to just say "add this to vanilla"

Based.

I saw a mod once that added rather large veins of poor quality ore that'd just give nuggets.

I’m a simple fish, I want a way to get lava from nothing hypothetically. It’s the saddest part of any “empty Skyblock” runs for me, is they have to spawn in a lava pool somewhere. I would love for there to be a way to get it via villager trade or something.

Also I would love for blocking with your sword to be added back in.

thought while falling asleep: netherite items should have mending by default or just be indestructible.w

also more shapes for amethyst so i can actually build stuff with it. polished, stairs, all that

I would make it free and open-source
I would also do the same with every other Microsoft owned project, to the point where the once huge mega corporation Microsoft, would be nothing but a Patreon page saying “if you like what we do, consider supporting us and contributing to our projects [github link]”
