====== Mods Minecraft has taken from ======

**//Next time someone says Mojang doesn't need modders, show them this!//**

NOTE: We're not implying that Mojang has taken ideas from //all// of them. All we know is that those things were in mods a long time before they got added by Mojang.

  * Pistons

  * Superflat biomes (a lot of Bukkit plugins)

===== 1.2 =====

  * Redstone Lamp

===== 1.3 =====

  * New commands (Bukkit plugins like Essentials)
  * Written books (Can't recall name; also, bukkit plugins)
  * Emeralds (arguable - emeralds in Minecraft are very different in usage than RP2's old Emeralds)
  * Ender Chests (EnderStorage)
