Archived 3D crafting

That's it !
I mean, 2D (actual) crafting for simple objects and the 3D crafting for more evolved objects.
No need to do a special interface for it, just put the right blocks on the ground at the right place and use a "magic scroll" near of the craft and the object will be built!

Yep, there has been some talk of that here and there already

The miniaturization topic in particular is showing how this could become a reality. Elsewhere there's even talk about building new creature models out of blocks then imbuing them with life. Maybe you'll be able to build mods inside the game itself

I was thinking of something similar for a first-person RTS. Basically you build a building then right click it, then it gives it a function.
