Do I like this idea? yes!
Should it be in Vanilla? Unlikely.

While I think this is a great Idea, I doubt it would be implemented in vanilla. Notch did add Endermen, but they are rare, and turned out not as scary as intended. I think they are keeping it E for Everyone. Though, when I first saw silverfish attack i freaked a little.

Maybe add as a Horror mod. Imagine, going to sleep without any lights on randomly causes you to spawn in a nightmare realm (The landscape generates the same but is re-textured, your home and everthing still exists, but changed). the sky and ocean are a blood red and everything is dying. Trees are barren, and these nightmare creatures hunt you at every turn. You are now on a quest to hunt one of every demon to obtain their tears in order to create a potion that will cause you to awaken in your bed, safe, back in your home world...

Oooh, creepy. I love it!

Hrm....the exp/leveling whatever thing is going to add more information to keep track of wherever you are on whoever's server etc. Do we really want MC to become a full blown mmorpg? I'm not to sure about that. If that is where we are headed I would suggest more options in the server properties to be able to turn experience orbs, potions and anything else mmo related on and off. I've played many MMO's and I don't really want MC to go in that direction. Just my 2 cents :smile.gif:

While I'm all for the additions, I also agree. Just as you have the option to turn off NPC Villages, there should be an option to turn off RPG Elements. No Exp, No Buffs, No Villages. This way people who like Minecraft as a Sandbox game and not an RPG can play the way they want to. Hopefully the final verson would include this option.

My opinion on this is as neutral as you can get. I'm fine with or with out it.

Also, why does the rabbit under "jump" have glowing red eyes?

New Rabbit Mob?

"He's Got HUGE, SHARP.... It can LEAP about..... LOOK AT TEH BONES!!!"

I finally got to download this and I must say IT IS AWESOME!
Whenever I'm in caves I freak out. I'm now afraid of darkness, cliffs, and lava. I made a spiral staircase to bedrock, when I got to the top something pushed me off. I was deep in a mine and I swear something was there, screaming. I woke up and saw HIM staring at me. I have jumped more at this mod than any creeper encounter. Make sure you backup your world unless you don't mind your work being destroyed/lava-ed.

If I could suggust anything I would suggust the option for the totem to appear randomly in a dungeon within 1 or 2 chunks of your spawn. Then if you want to stop Herobrine you must locate and destroy the totem, or wait until an epic boss fight and destroy HIM yourself. Boss fight would come after a few in game weeks. maybe your spawn point could change into his underground arena, and when you next died, you would appear there for the boss fight... No equiptment, just you and HIM. The totem would be in an attached room, along with treasure. When you win, you can destroy the totem.

I would also love to see more refined structures appear. Even wood/stone huts/castles, and walking into his area makes him angry and more violent.

Seriously though, I can't wait to see the next level of development.
Great Job

Ever since I heard the Herobrine Mythos I have wanted an In-game mod.
I can’t wait to download and try it myself.

If I had the power, this is how I would make it.

Once the mod is installed, it is on, you cannot disable it in-game. At some point over the first week this process will start.

Week 1 – Herobrine appears no closer than 15 – 20 blocks, either in your peripheral or behind you. When you see him he fades out.
Week 2 – In addition: Holes of 3 x 3 x 7 appear randomly
Week 3 – Addition: Holes fill with lava. Trees brown and die, random structures appear.
Week 4 (Final Week)
Day 1 – Grass Browns, an empty pyramid appears. Herobrine will appear no further than 15 blocks. Will randomly scream and bump you.
Day 2 – Pyramid covered in Lava
Day 3 – Totem appears in pyramid. All foliage is gone. Water starts to freeze
Day 4 – Red Sky, Max Fog, Herobrine might attack you before he disappears.
Day 5 – Constant Night
Day 6 – No Sound, Herobrine does not appear all day
Day 7 (Final Day) – Sometime randomly during the day Herobrine will appear and attack. He will not disappear. If he kills you, you go to main menu and your save file is deleted. If you win, you go back to Wk. 4 day 3

How to Win:
After the totem appears on Wk4 Day 3 you can break the Herobrine block. Destroying the block will not work. In order to remove Herobrine you will need to build a portal to the nether. Once in the Nether, within the nearest chunk, a random building made of bedrock will appear. Ghast, Pigmen, and other mobs will appear to defend it. Once inside you must defeat Herobrine before moving to the final room. In the final room there is a well with green lava. You cannot simply toss the totem in, it needs a sacrifice. Jump into the lava holding the totem. When you get to ½ heart the totem is destroyed and you respawn in the overworld and everything is back to normal. Herobrine will never appear again…

Unless you’re foolish enough to create a new Totem and summon him.

Seriously cool mod though.

Edit: Perhaps if he kills you, instead of your save being deleted. You are stuck in constant dark and no sound, and you cannot change the settings. You are now part of HIS army...

Yes, yes, and yes!

I think this is an awesome idea. And if there were a generator for an entire maze world, they could certainly use that system to generate smaller, more interesting dungeons in the home world. I was excited for dungeons, but a small room does not a dungeon make.

Maybe the maze dimension would have a size limit depending on how much "power" you put into it, and randomly generates a new world when you leave, unless you had some kind of placeholder. So I could spawn and explore many small mazes, or large maze worlds. Would make the replay of the maze world more enjoyable.

And there could be mobs to fit the theme, like minataurs, chimera, or undead soldiers.

I would love to see this, even with just a map gen or mod. Kudos to you on your idea.

*Added: I was thinking of Diablo when you started a new game each level was randomly created. I thought this would make up for the current "Dungeons" being so basic. Honestly, with a completely generated world that would be different with each new world created, I think that would be great and in no need of improvement.

I'm learning how to use damage to have this take up only one block id. then i should be able to make lots of reeds.




What grow ore is all about is that eventually resources can become thin or too far, or you may be looking for an easy alternative to mining.



1.6 growing ore variants removed for space, added 6 new ones and did some balance to make iron and lapis easier to get
1.52 back to just one item of it not a block(ingots not blocks and just 1 diamond, and added dust to the vanilla one)
1.51 added clayreed and fixed a name error
1.5 LOTS OF balance fixes, 2 new reeds (Fossilized(bone, also i know i spelled it wrong in game haha) and Volatile(gunpowder) and my first toolset attempt ^.^
1.42 black screen fix
1.41 fixed the 3 new reed's recipes to work(snowball = ice, obsidan=obsidan, cobblestone= mossy cobblestone. all surrounded by reeds like the others)
1.4 some balance twards the ore reeds and added obsidian,mossy(mossy cobblestone not moss), and ice.
1.3 added 7 new reeds, glow reeds and 6 glow counterparts of the original 6.
1.2 added Lapisreed and fixed a spelling error
1.1:Fixed Diamond Ore in recipes
1.0:Release


This mod adds many items and lots recipes, the items are the Ore Reeds as seen below:

They do not have to be planted near water like other plants, but must still be planted on dirt.
The GlowReed variations can only be planted on Netherock or Glowstone but can still be planted in the overworld/earth.
Obsidian must be planted on obsidan
Ice must be planted on ice(you can craft them from snowballs then them into ice if you cant find any ice)
and mossy can be planted on mossy or regular cobblestone
At the current time they do not spawn naturally(if someone could help me with that i'd appreciate it)I just found some naturally in my world, they DO spawn naturally ^.^

The Reeds can be crafted into or from their respective ores/items as seen in the video and ill add pictures later(lots of changes from 1.42)

I intend to continue expanding on this but i think this is enough for my first day, i hope to add a video soon.
note i didnt upload this yet cause im so tired and it is only like 99% done will upload in moring, but adding video now incase anyone wants to see it




my video for 1.5 ^.^ also from some reason in the beggining the sound cuts out i say hello and this is jade915 but it starts at an odd noise and jade915


this is for 1.2



I would also love feedback from you guys and gals, good or bad xD

This mod is used with modloader for 1.8.1 and edits none of minecraft's .class files just the ones i made. add all the class files and the folder called growores into your minecraft.jar(dont add all the pngs individualy or it wont work, just add the folder ^.^) and they take up item number 124-140 and item number 2000-2010 i think

also I hope/intend to give each comment a personal response so know you voice will be read(har har)


feedback response post:warning, its a wall of text(edit: im adding the newest ones to the top not bottom so you dont have to scroll all the way down to see a responce ^.^)

IMPORTANT! Armor from obsidian stuff has been removed due to coding problems. The code for ModLoader has changed, and thus, creates problems for me. I well readd armor as soon as I can.

Sorry, I can't figure out whats wrong with the mods. I tried fixing the the bugs but it still doesn't work. This mod's 1.0 update will be cancled indifinitely.

This is not a mod, and I didn't create it as a mod! However, the wonderful geniuses at ABP Mods have made a mod based on my Art Of Painting suggestion!Check it out!

The great arts. Minecraft, as is, does well in two sections of the arts: Architecture and Sculpture. However, adding access to some of the more neglected arts would make fuel creativity and multiplayer role-playing, as well as having some practical applications. I am making a get satisfaction post for these topics. So far I have made the one for painting and literature, but I am holding off on the last one until it is perfected. Please, if you support these ideas, like them on get satisfaction, here and here!

This is a relatively long suggestion that I will divide into three parts and develop over time. Each part will stick to the same format I show here:

Quote from Example »

Art Name

How it is now: This paragraph talks about what this art is currently like as of now, and the flaws it currently has. Sometimes the art is in good shape but needs a few improvements, and some times it doesn't exist at all.

How it could be improved: This section talks about what needs to be added to make this art complete. It doesn't talk about the specific mechanics, but just the general idea.

What I purpose: This is the main section. It shows exactly how this art is improved, and what new tools, blocks, mechanics, items, and everything else that needs to be added to perfect this art.

Why we need this: The fourth section talks about why we need this implementation. It talks about the role-playing value, creative value, and practical value of this perposal.

Banner: And finally, included is a banner for that art. Banners will come in 100x500 and 50x250, as well as an Orion-Pyro style icon.

And without further ado, here are the art topics:

The Art of Painting!
The Art of Literature!
The Art of Music!

Here are the images for the items:

I'm being serious here, they should SOOOO shoot seeds, it reminds me of that Pokemons thing like the move that shot seeds

Notch has actually hinted about writable books in the past. Maybe we'll get them in one of the adventure updates?

I think that notch should enable us to write books, because it will help alot in custom maps with messages, It will make the game more interesting in SMP, you can make a sort of MC diary or journal, and I dont think it would be that hard to make, correct me if i'm wrong. You could have different types of books, like maps. Maybe there would be different types of books, Ones you could write in at anytime, ones you wrote when you made them, and you cant edit them any longer. Maybe you would be able to keep writing in it until you chose to make it complete and uneditable. Maybe you can make it where only the owner of the book can write in it and at any time. Books would be very interesting in Minecraft in my opinion, and i hope that Notch recieves this message, because books would be :cool.gif: Top !

Looking for someone who can make a good texture for Rusted Iron and Driftwood! Please PM me.

Currently (including 1.9) We have dungeons that can spawn on top of the land, under the ground, the nether, and the 3 dungeons in the aether mod. Seems like something is missing right? I'm sure almost all of you have thought to yourself "how cool would it be to stumble across a shipwreck" or have posted on the suggestion form "there should be shipwrecks." However no one has actually tried to make a full out thread on the idea. Well here you go! Enjoy

~~~Welcome to the Shipwreck!~~~

Shipwrecks are just what they sound like. Ships that have wrecked ether by hitting land, or sinking in the middle of an ocean.





A Once coastal wreck that was burned down by a natural lava fall.


(SNEAK PEEK at a downed oil tanker. Can you see it?)

New Blocks:

Sponge will be a form of sea sponge and would be located in different bodies of water!

Feel Free to suggest other uses!

A new possible mob that would be protecting the ships would be an undead beast who has no fear.

Ghoul

Skin by Adebar

Health:

Attack Strength

Easy:
Normal:
Hard:
Hardcore:

Spawn: In light levels of 7 or less on various ship wrecks.
Drops: Ghoul Blood: Can be used in some sort of potion

Attributes: Can float over water or trenches, and is NOT effected by lava.



***Zombie sounds are just a placeholder

Quote from Strottinglemon

Amazing idea! I do think the ships need to be bigger, though, with Ghost Pirates or something. You fight your way through the crew cabins, down into the cargo hold with rewards, and occasionally a bossfight with the captain in the captain's quarters.

Quote from Fredex

What about in deserts? Afterall they used to be seabeds and there is nothing more bizarre than seeing a ship wreck the middle of a desert.

Quote from Mulan15262

How about some shipwrecks on the coast. They would be more destroyed than the other 3 shipwrecks and along the coast. They would be ships destroyed on land. They will be more likely to be next to smaller islands.

Quote from lzravanger

This is ingenious but I might add one suggestion. For the ocean wrecks, possibly have the sail be floating above it? or just off to the side. Either way this is an epic idea.

Quote from skullman86

Deep sea wrecks for oceans if we ever get diving gear to explore those depths...add hostile marine life and you can turn shipwrecks into "underwater dungeons" with shark spawners and treasure chests.

Quote from Fredex

Another idea: have them spawn under vast sheets of ice so you have to tunnel down to get at their treasure.

Quote from John209

How about different kinds of ships, with different kinds of loot is them, for example, a Pirate ship would have TNT, gunpowder, weapons and it would be bigger and have a skull and cross bones sail. They would be semi-rare A explorers ship witch would contain more food, tool, and maybe maps or paper and books. They would be the smallest kind of ships and the most common. Than there would be merchant ships, the biggest and most rare, because they contain valuables like; gold, iron, and redstone.

Quote from Coneman50

Hmm, well how about rusted iron/steel blocks? Water and time causes metal like iron to rust anyways, so it could work in with the shipwrecks. Plus, it would be pretty weird if you found a shipwreck with metal blocks in pristine condition. Rusted iron blocks would also look pretty cool for decor and stuff.

Quote from Kitara

Shoulden't shipwrecks introduce a new block? Some kind of soaked wood?

And also, shoulden't swamp wrecks have vines growing on them?

Quote from MrFreaky

This is a brilliant idea! I love it :biggrin.gif:
I agree with what other people have said, some should be big and be guarded by special mobs... Maybe zombie-pirates or ghosts? Or something more original, like an evil-lobster thing, or a sea monster type creature? maybe something like this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cornwall/content/images/2007/09/19/giantlobster_470_470x256.jpg

Quote from Doompie1212

If you do pirate ships you should put cannons on both sides of the sunken ship and maybe make two sunken ships next to each other indicating there was a battle between the ships and maybe in the cannon room you could have skeletons sitting in there waiting and inside the chest of the sunken ships there could be a note were the captain says his final words

Quote from Yogierin

Great idea, I'll give you some suggestions:

I think coastal and sunken shipwrecks should have a more water based mob variety.

I think there should be different variations of shipwrecks, each with different designs and loot.

Why swamp wrecks? Why would you sail a ship through a swamp? And why are they more destroyed than the others? I don't think shipwrecks should spawn in swamps, it's very unrealistic and it would make shipwrecks too common, as you would see them in oceans, lakes, deserts and swamps. I think swamps should be shipwreck-free.

Skeleton swordsman?

Please add your own suggestions. If I agree with your suggestion I will gladly add it and give you credit for it!

Endermen currently randomly move & destroy lots of blocks for no reason and at random. This is pointless since it doesn't really put the player in danger, but makes the landscape ugly and ruins buildings.

Notch is going to nerf Endermen so they can pick up fewer blocks, but that doesn't do much good either. It's either going to be too weak a nerf and leave the same problems, or too much of a nerf and make the Endermen not really do much at all and be boring.

Here's an argument for what Endermen should do: destroy light.

Endermen & Light Sources

My ideas is that Endermen hate light. If they come near any light producing object they will pick it up and hold onto it until they die or despawn, destroying the light source. Torches, jack-o-lanterns, glowstone, they hate this stuff. They aren't attracted to light, but if they randomly stumble near it and they aren't already holding something they'll pick it up.

Endermen will not pick up anything that doesn't produce light.

This gives Endermen a real in game purpose and make them a real danger to players: deleting all those random torches players dot across the landscape so monsters once again can spawn there at night.

Your torches indoors and in walled off places are safe. Endermen can't spawn there so they can't reach the torches. You only have to fear for torches in areas that can be reached by monsters spawning in adjacent dark areas. But this would enforce a rule on players: if you want to make territory safe you have to protect it. It has to be indoors or walled off. Anything Endermen can reach will eventually be made dark again. And that makes perfect sense: Minecraft is a wild and dangerous world. If your area is open to the wilderness it won't remain safe at night. Build a wall, or a moat, or something or monsters will return.

P.S. If you really want an isolated light in a dark area you can still do that: just cover the torch/glowstone in glass or put it off the ground out of the reach of Endermen on a lampost. But that makes players work a little for their safety instead of just chucking torches everywhere, which is good for game balance and makes securing territory a more rewarding experience. And it should actually be more aesthetically pleasing too.
