For a long time I have always been thinking about this, bit never really got around to suggesting it. It's a very good-- well, why don't I just tell you what it is.

Piles! What are piles? Piles are items stacked on the ground like food on plates. That is, certain items can be stacked on any solid block (maybe non-solid blocks too?) in the same manner as food, and with basically the same look and function.

For example, bones may be stacked directly on the ground around troll hoards, pebbles may spawn in little clusters in caves (similar to stalagmite and stalagtite) and coins may spawn in buildings where a trader lives. Some items may be stacked up to 64, while others can only be stacked up to one.

Ok, so what is the point of this? Mainly just for looks, but it might also be useful for quickly getting rid of items you don't need/want without crafting a chest or throwing it (and then picking it up every two minutes.

Finally, what are the stackable items? Well, I already listed bones, coins, and pebbles, but there are many other items that may look nice just lying around (I wish my Mom thought that of me...). Ingots and alloys would look nice and produce a troll-horde feel, feathers would look great in chicken coops, leather might look nice in a hunting lodge, and armour might suggest a fallen Orc, or an elf or whatever. There are some things that cannot be stacked on the ground like swords and pouches and food (you would be able to eat too quickly).

So, now that you've read through another suggestion of mine, what do you think?
