This suggestion is really simple. Basically, when you're in the Planet Selection GUI, there will be a chance that an object will appear from one side of the screen(left or right), then float either to the opposite side, upwards or downwards. They are only visible on the part that displays the outer space background, which means that the dirt section that covers the upmost and lowermost sections of the screen will block off these 'entities'. (No, they won't be actual rendered entities, they will be just sprites, so don't worry.)

They would be purely aesthesical and provide a nice Easter Egg or eye candy for those who like to hang out on the Planet Selection GUI. These items, however, will be rare - as in, every 20 seconds there will be a one in thirty five chance that an object will appear, and then it will have to choose between the object list, and each of those also have a percentage of chance to roll for whether they will appear or not. Here's a list of items I've made and their respective chance:
  • Asteroid; 35%
  • Red-hot Asteroid; 20%
  • Tier 1 Rocket; 15%
  • Space debris(remains of Quartz blocks, Tin blocks and Iron blocks); 5%
  • Asteroid with a Tier 2 Rocket with the phrase "Space de Büst!" written in it crashed onto said asteroid(those who played KSP will get the reference); 3%
  • Pig(obviously outfitted with space gear); 7%
  • Space Villager(with space gear); 7%
  • Space Villager(without space gear); 3.5%
  • Evolved Creeper; 5%
  • UFO; 1%
  • An unobtainable rocket made of pure gold; 2%
  • An inacessible planet made of diamond; 2%
  • Space Core(from Portal 2, blocky or not); 5%
  • Minecraft Steve(with space gear); 4%
  • Minecraft Steve(without space gear, and skin grayish to give the impression that he died); 2%
  • Herobrine; 1%
  • A Glowstone "E"; 0.1%
  • The TV pictured in micdoodle8's forum avatar; 0.0000000000025%
Other than the sprites, this wouldn't hurt to implement, and it could sort of be considered as an 'achievement' to find a rare object floating in outer space, such as the glowstone E.

:O You lied about the eyeball candy thing?

No, "eye candy" is another term for an aesthesical feature, as in, something that is funny to spot but otherwise doesn't serves any purpose. Such as the "Minceraft" feature Notch added.

The Original post sounds pretty cool. Kinda like Minecraft's main menu. Those Minecraft: Now available in sour" things.
