These are my ideas on mods that should be in minecraft. If you want to try and make these mods or point my to mods are are similar to what im trying to make that would be amazing. In the end though creating mods should be a passion project. No point in making a mod you won't be proud of. Now without further delay lets get onto my word vomit of an idea dump.
Mod idea #1: A proper zombie apocalypses.
You spawn in the world in a small camp with villagers as the sun starts to rise. The camp s full of villagers and soldiers. You can trade with the villagers to get various supplies and so on and so on. Though the camp can also be looted for randomly generated armor and weapons and other random supplies. The camp is surrounded by large walls with snipers on top killing monsters as they come near. You leave the camp through a gate and then the nightmare begins.
As soon as you spawn in the zombies start slow, but think of it as a 7 days to die kind of thing, every few days the hoards get worse and worse. The first few days are normal. Something that zombie mods seem to fail to do most often is really give zombies the very thing that make them powerful, they often fail to give them massive seemingly unstoppable hoards. As the nights go on the zombies start getting natural resistance (up to resistance 4) as well as armor and weapons scaling with time. The zombies start being able to break though soft blocks like dirt and wood. Then stone. Then they start breaking through iron. When hoards of zombies start swarming the zombies should seem almost endless. Imagine an army of 50 zombies suddenly spawning with zombies in groups of 8 surrounding the player starting about 30 blocks off.
Now lets talk special zombies.
Zombies are always fun, but I think we should look to places like left for dead. They have more than one kind of zombie. Even plants vs zombies have a large array of interesting and different zombies. A zombie version of every mob might be fun(ny). I would go on but i'm going to save the hardcore scary undead monsters 'n for my eldritch idea section.
And of course you can have all the extra melee weapons, guns, and memey **** you want in this.
Just like how a zombie apocalypse should be. It only gets worse and worse, and the hoards only get bigger and bigger as they start storming the base and breaking in while the required material to keep you safe gets harder and harder to obtain making breaks in defenses much more common. Spoopy.
Modular turrets would be really cool for this mod. Also custom NPC's works well with every mod.
Mod idea #2: Kaiju!
Something I feel minecraft is lacking in rather horribly. Good giant monsters. (And mechs, you ****ed up flans! I still love you though) I love looking back to the orespawn days, and it's sad to see orespawn will no longer be getting updates. As orespawn stays out of date (though still great and a legend of a mod) We don't have anything like that anymore that im aware of.
If orespawn could be updated, then that would be absolutely perfect. But lets be realistic, that's likely not going to happen. But imagine if another mod of such magnitude was to be created? Another mod filled with massive and powerful monsters. Filled with countless minibosses and joke creatures as well as just normal animals. I have seen a lot of mods that adds in very basic monsters and it's kind of disappointing.
Something I loved with orepawn is how you could be just walking around AND SUDDENLY A MASSIVE MONSTER BURST OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A HOARD OF MINIONS OR A HOARD OF FLYING MINIBOSSES STARTED ATTACKING YOU AND IT WAS TIME TO CLENCH YOUR ASS AND START SCREAMING AS YOU STARTED RUNNING AND SHOOTING TRYING TO NOT DIE!
You don't get that same thing from monster mods anymore. From the monsters that will make you run are either rare or there are very few in means of variation. Also, adding in giant ocean monsters would be amazing if you have some kind of ship mod. Just out at ocean and minding your own business fishing and then a sea dragon flies out from the ocean knocking you flat on your ass.
I just miss the badass battles and sieges from this mod and all it's monsters.
Mod idea #3: The eldritch horror mod!
Alright so this mod is not a mod you want to play on a world you care about. The basic idea is it puts in eldritch horrors and monsters that roam around the world. Around the world there are taint like biomes (See thaumcraft) that spreads the domain of these creatures. Necromancy magic could be fun and even allow the player to make undead minions to fight against he undead monsters.
Now i'm sure a lot of people have this question: What is eldritch? Well if you know who HP Lovecraft is then you likely know. But for those of you who don't picture demonic monsters like Cthulhu. Undead twisted abominations or corrupted necromorph like monsters covered in tentacles and mouths and eyes. Pretty much imagine the worse thing ever and multiply it by cancer. Would go great with any zombie mod i'm thinking. Also a cool addition for magic mods.
But I still like the idea of an ever growing taint that corrupts and kills the world choking out all life and making worse and worse monsters.
Mod idea #4: Laying down the siege! (Also most airship mods are ********!)
I am yet to see a mod with any good and decent mounted siege weapons. Or any good mounted weapons at all really. Imagine if you could have redstone canons that when you press a button fires out a row of shells. Or maybe NPC's that can use them to fire at targets. (I would opt for the redstone idea) Maybe I just love siege warfare but imagine mounting these things on your walls and using them to shell down enemy hoards or giant monsters.
Imagine building an airship or pirate gunship. Having naval battles (Kind of like sea of thieves) Imagine fighting a sky scraper sized monster in minecraft with a giant flying gunship. How is that not cool as ****?
Also most airship mods are ********. Making a large multiblock ship is cool and fun, but when you can't even set it in a direction and walk around on the ship while it's moving. Then it's kind of pointless. If you can't use chest while in motion? I mean thats okay, but it's still possible with some mods. Having an airship that descends slowly as soon as you stop piloting it is disappointing also. I have seen only really 1 ship mod worth spending any time on in all reality. Don't even get me started on how much I hate the Archimedes ship mod!
IF I BUILD A SHIP I WANT TO BE ABLE TO USE IT EFFECTIVELY! I get I sound whiney and bitchy in saying this but honestly. Why have a pirate ship you can't mount cannons on? Why have an airship you can't mount cannons on? Why have an airship you can't walk around on while it's in the air? Honestly, we need good effective ships, and then weapons to put on said ships.
Also if mechs with decent damage output was possible that would be great~
Idk, this is just my feelings on mods. I spend so much time looking at mods and shaking my head sighing. I see so many pointless stupid mods, a few are okay and there are no real great mods anymore. I feel minecraft could be so much better, there is so much wasted potential. We need to get something new and great, and even if it's not new or innovative LETS REVITALIZE WHAT ONCE WAS! I accept there might never be another orespawn. I accept there might never be a perfect ship mod and that zombie mods might never meet expectations. I'm fine with that, but what if we did pull it off?
