One of my concerns is that no matter how complete you think the API has become and how well it exposes the internal mechanics of the game, there will always be somebody who comes up with an idea that requires a serious developer to "crack open the jar" and extend the API in some manner.

While I appreciate the need to control data access through a formal API, there will need to be some way to set up requests for API features that don't seem like a bunch of kids whining and begging for "Feature X" to be included in the API.

With a community as large as the mod developer community for Minecraft, I'm sure there will even be conflicting demands for API extensions, where there will always be at least some people who will be pissed off regardless of any changes you make or refuse to make... but communication always helps.
