Recently, I've been thinking about how cool it would be to have combat mechanics in the game (besides curse and zombies), and all the games that could be made with it. Since EE is a game about making levels, it would only make sense if you could make levels with fighting in them. I imagine they would work a lot like the weapons in Terraria, where they swing in an arc around the player.

Implementing a combat system would only require a bit of coding for the weapons and some action blocks:

Health Bar Effect - gives players an adjustable number of hit points. Goes down whenever the player takes damage, then kills when the number reaches 0
Equipment - like team blocks, it either gives you a weapon or changes your current weapon when touched. Can also be set to remove a weapon. Different weapons could have different behaviors; for example, a sword might attack faster than an axe or have a little more reach.

Here are some optional ideas that aren't crucial for adding a combat system, but would make things easier:

Dummy - Ideal for campaign-style worlds; a block that can be destroyed by players if that player uses a weapon. It could be set to take one hit or several hits to destroy.
Weapon doors/gates - Would allow world makers to control where people with certain weapons can go; would be ideal for things like portal filters or barricades for people without the right weapon.
Making blue coins heal players when collected
Strength/weakness effect - Would let world makers further customize weapons and add class systems that make some classes deal more damage than others.
Magic Spells - These could do things like give effects, restore health, or attack from a distance. Spells would make the combat more involved and provide a new meta-game in case weapon fights get old.

I'm hoping either this or another combat-related thing gets added in the future. It would introduce a new form of competition for players.

The shop could use some more energy items. Right now I've got over 700 max energy that Idk what to use on besides limited blocks and worlds. Some more action blocks and decorations would be nice.

I know some people still have around 250 max or something, but there's also people like me who have more energy than they know what to do with.
