The ant queen boss seems really easy to me. It doesn't deal very much damage, it attacks slowly, and it has a short attack range. It would come close to you to attack you, then deal almost no damage, and not deal damage again for a while, making it easy to kill with a sword. A soldier summoning power for it could be cool though. If it had a range attack, like hurling a rock or possibly an egg sack(spawning a soldier ant when it hits) that makes it harder to defeat, it could be better.

Ant queens should not melee. They should keep their distance and summon ants to fight for them. The ant summoning would be similar to zombie reinforcements in that it occurs out of sight, but instead of only happening when hit, the ant queen should constantly spawn minions.
[edit] or the ant queen could lay eggs that have to be destroyed or they hatch into several ants.
Basically, this is beyond amazing. Full support and one of the best suggestions I found in a while!

If I helped you in any way or agree in my ideas or posts, make sure you click that green arrow pointing up below my post or simply huggle me! I use 1.7.10 (Modded), so when I comment that I like a 1.8 mod, I will comment to downgrade to 1.7.10. I support no pics, no clicks. Suggestions that I think that are the best deserves a banner!
It is almost time to say goodbye to 1.7.10 because of the recent surge of big 1.9 mods.
Why MCreator sucks: jcm2606's file (doesn't open a new tab) He allows/welcomes anyone to link the file, so I put it here in my signature for people to know how MCreator functions. I thank jcm2606 (he's awesome) for creating the document/file and I'm just here to spread the word.

I agree, the ant queen boss fight is a little to easy. But i want to avoid it just straight up spawning ants, because that's such an overly suggested thing for all boss battles. In both mods and the suggestion section.
Queen Spider? Spawn mobs around it.
Creeper King on the moon? Spawn mobs around it.
Ect, ect....
I know it hangs around here for a reason, but it would have to be done cleverly.
I think I might have a solution for it, but just give me a couple hours to get a good way to explain it.
I think in order to give the caves a cooler shape, add 1 by 1 trenches that can go up to 10 blocks in at the end is a worker ant spawner that sends them to attack you
More rooms would be a good idea. But I'm having difficulty understanding what it is your suggesting.
I have an idea for the Queen Ant, it burrows in the ground from time to time, and then particles will appear beneath the player along with a bit of a crack in the block, and it's pincers come out and damage the player, then immediately goes back in. It does this 3 times then comes to the surface.

I like the spawning of it, but I think the range they can't spawn in should be increased to 10 and the range they do spawn in increased to 15, but the player still needs to be within 8 blocks.

Hmmm, ok. I'll try that.
I'll just have to completely remake that diagram.......
I see absolutely no reason for this not to be added in. You have a great idea, and the information is amazing. I love the actual in-game models and the caves. Good job!
Full support.

I am a unicorn barfing a rainbow. Your argument is invalid.
I love this idea! However, I do think that the ants need to have a bit more variety in their appearances-maybe ant larvae and an acid-spitting caste would work as well. Support

Yeah, I was thinking that they need some form of ranged.
Also, I think an alternative queen summoning thing could be it summons units, except first checking if the player is looking at it, similar to how endermen work.

Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — "No, you move

Ranged ants sound interesting, and spitting ants do exist IRL, but I think the hardest part of adding a ranged mob is balancing it.
It will be a while before I can come up with any stats or images for this, but I will think about it.
97% of teenagers would cry if they saw Justin Bieber on top of a tower

screaming "DO A BACKFLIP", copy and paste this as your signature.
i would like to see with it though random ants soldiers/workers on the surface. and maybe if two ant colonys spawn close to eachother one of the ant colonys would try to kill the other colony queen as to protect their territory?

500+ huggles? U wot, m8?
But then the ants would have 8 legs, and therefor not be ants.....
Idk, i really like the model i made with Techne, i just have no clue how to add it in game.
Thanks!

Ok! I think i made a way to make ants spawned by the queen spawn out of view! Hopefully, that would make it look better.
Tell me what you humans think!
I like it, seems fair! Please consider my idea though

I'm just a very boring person.

(because I just started college)
On the subject of spitting ants, it seems that ants don't spit acid, they spray it out their abdomens. That will be hard to model......
The Formica rufa group of ants seems to be a good canidate for this though.
I just hope adding more ants won't make this suggestion "too heavy to float" if you understand my meaning.
FULL SUPPORT
However, this would be a better mod than vanilla. Did you use a mod to create the ants in the info?
Also, where in mesas do they spawn? Mostly underground, with a few gaping holes in the surface? (I like that idea.)
