You have all probaly heard about Jon adding Monkeys to the Jungle Biome. I personnally would love to see this happen! My speculation is that they will spawn on the tops of trees, So to find them you have to climb up on the vines to the tops of trees. They probaly won't drop anything. But, They will contribute greatly to the jungle atmosphere. what do you think?
I think They should have a good climbing animation. If they don't climb trees, i will start a fight to change this. I also think they should have great AI so they will work together to "bother you", like throwing stuff at you, stealing items from your hotbar, or jumping on your head to knock you off trees. I would love this. They should also spawn on tree leaves. Disscuss.
You should be able to tame them via bananas(I'll be shocked if this doesn't happen). They should act like the snowmen things. Except actually do a bit of damage >.>

I'm usually not trying to be rude. So if a post comes across that way then sorry :]
Monkeys... if done right, I wouldn't mind. It would be funny if monkeys steal items from you. XD
However, another neutral mob wouldn't be a problem. Attack one, and then the pack will attack you much like wolves. And having them the ability to throw stuff at you would be nice... nothing long range but enough to make them a pester if you upset them.
Um no, so far I've had no problem with any of the new content that has been added since 1.8. But monkeys are a big no for me.
So you're perfectly fine with a red cow that has mushrooms growing on its back.. But you're against monkeys?
And lets address this Minecraft theme thing. The theme of Minecraft is whatever Mojang wants it to be. So if Mojang wants to add monkeys then that by default makes it part of the Minecraft theme. The theme of it isn't for you, me, or any other non-Mojang employees to decide.

The big thing about monkeys, is that there pathfinding needs to be right on. The ability to climb and the jump from tree to tree... all which will be a challenge for Jeb and Jon. If its done right, and its a mob that is balanced with the others, I won't mind it.
If its not to par of a monkey, I would find it a needless addition.
As well, the spawning must be tweaked to Jungle only biomes... I don't wanna see monkeys in deserts or tundras. <.<
Dude it is just my opinion. I'm just trying to say that it wouldn't fit in the minecraft feeling for me. I do think we need a mob in the jungle, but maybe it should be something aggressive.
Alright. Then in the future say "It wouldn't fit with the feeling of Minecraft for me". Not "It wouldn't fit with the Minecraft theme".
Those are entirely different things.

does anyone here play pocket god? they should act like the ones in Pocket god. Fooling around with cool animations that interact with the player. I think that it would be fun if they steal your stuff and, climb on your head, and throw stuff at you.

Jon is the new programmer... responsible for the new mob AI if I remember correctly.
since jon would be working on them, i think there pathfinding AI will be just right.

Since Jon is working on it, I hope its done nicely. It's just gonna take a bit of work, and I'll except to see monkeys the snapshot after next. I like to see him have plenty of time to work on it.
I won't pestering monkeys that can out climb anyone. :happy.gif:
i also hope they add more than just monkeys to the jungle biome. I would love to see magoes/bananas or even other mobs like snakes, panthers, or boars. Though it is probaly unlikely

Boars would be easy and very very cool. It could basically be an aggressive version of the pig.

Finally some more life to Minecraft, other than food animals. Cows pigs chickens....How about some birds and fish!
A monkey is a great start :biggrin.gif:

Monkeys are animals, we need something more sophisticated and Minecrafty, something more ingenious. But then, take a look at passive mobs, they're all animals (wolves, also...)...but those are passive mobs, with no purpose other than wandering around and being killed for their drops. We need something different, a mob that will do something, how about a mob that will gather in groups, form tribes and harvest cocoa shrubs, they would also attack other tribes trying to steal their cocoa? I suppose these mobs could be monkeys, but I'd rather have something cooler.
EDIT: I just remembered that the only animals in Minecraft are farm animals, another reason not to add monkeys.

Lol it's the new AI worker for Minecraft.
Also Don't forget to click the green button that is showing a sign that is facing up!

You know what... that works for me. An alternate means for pork for all the hunters out there.
They took 40 blocks. That’s as many as four tens. And that’s horrible.

Minecraft needs some spice, it's like a fancy soup, with lots of veggies and meats...but it's bland.
The monkey doesn't need to be extreme dude.
Minecraft also needs birds, and fish, to make the world seem more...Well. Alive, Biomes just feel dumb with cows in EVERY biome :/
