I think mirrors would be a cool thing to add. Maybe they can only reflect what’s within say maybe 10-15 blocks but mirrors would typically be indoors anyway so that could work

Unless there's a new method of doing it they are extremely performance intensive even if you only have a couple of them. That's why most games cheat them and just have a blurred reflective pbr surface.

Even in Cyberpunk which has fantastic graphics you cannot see yourself until you enter mirror mode. If you just walk by you are a vampire.

I’m sure some day, not too far away, we’ll get to the point where mirrors are possible. Thought since they have reflections in water and other surfaces that a mirror would be possible.
Look closer at games with water, if they are not faking it with a skydome they usually reflect only baked in trees , terrain and building cannot think of any that reflect your character , and even those games that reflect changed terraforming, harvesting and buildings are rare.
But even if that was possible, it would require a third person camera which the game does not have as it required third person animation set different than first person (hack first person camera into third person games and you understand why they are different animation sets!). Would be nice if it observed your character in third person view in the world while in your inventory/crafting (like many games) rather than having the static paper doll - once they have that then the cyberpunk look into the mirror is entirely possible as it is essentially the same thing.
I personally prefer first person view with the occasional third person view (mirrors, inventory, crafting). I find that promotes my immersion into being the character. Third person games without first person view, I find myself as the detached puppet master of the character rather than being the character. first person view games like RW I find it immerses me into the world, but makes it harder to be the character.
