Also, please stop giving fixes for a lag issue that has been fixed for half a year. We don't really need it any more, and it's getting quite annoying. If there is still a lag issue that I haven't stated, then please alert me of it.

Isn't it hard walking over 1000 blocks just to deliver a single item? Yes you can make rail systems to send large amounts of items, but I find a simpler way is necessary. My answer: Delivery Pigeons.

Pigeons spawn in forest-like biomes. They can be tamed with 2-5 pumpkin seeds, and 5 hearts. They will then follow you around until you are ready to send a message. The pigeon would look like this:
It would be able to fly (follow), or stand (sit), until you are ready. When you want to send something, shift+right click the tame pigeon, and this GUI will come up.

The 6 slots are for the items that you want to send, the send button sends the items, the cancel button exits the menu without sending, and the black box is for the players name. I decided on 6 slots, so that clever rail systems are not obsolete.

A new block would also be added called the perch, when a pigeon is sent, it will land on one of the receiving player's perches.
Crafting:

A perch:

I'm clueless about redstone, but I think that If a pigeon is on a perch, a comparator could give off a signal, but not if the perch is empty. You could create pigeon alarms using this. Please tell me if this is not how comparators work!

Preches can be named for 0 xp in an anvil, so you can type: "playername perchname" to decide exactly which perch you will send the pigeon to, without too much expense.
Adventure map makers can use commands to give perches custom names, without having the playername. This is so that you don't have to send messages to the author of the map to complete a puzzle.

If the player you are sending the items to does not have enough perches, the pigeon will just put the items back in your inventory (Or on the ground if there is not enough space).

When you send a pigeon to a user, It will appear to fly away, but when it reaches an unloaded chunks, it will teleport to one of their perches, with a delay depending on distance between the 2 objects, the blocks:minutes ratio would be about 500:1. If the distance is shorter than 200 blocks, It will just fly the distance (and load any unloaded chunks). This is so that on small map PVP servers, and UHC's you can have fun shooting down enemy pigeons. It would be hard to do this, as they fly twice as fast as a player sprinting.


It will then appear in the "view" any nearby players, and land on it. If no players are nearby, it will just be sitting there. If it can't reach a perch in any way, it will noclip through the layer of blocks, I cant see how this could be used for griefing. Once the player has found it, and taken the items, it becomes that players pigeon. Only the owners of pigeons can use their inventories.

I'm sure you can see how this can help in multiplayer, but what about the people who are strictly singleplayer? I've sorted this too.
Imagine that you are in the middle of nowhere, and lost. You have been wandering for hours, because you have your diamond armour, sword, and pick with you. You see a pigeon flying around, but ignore it. Then you see pumpkins. You grab them, and turn them into seeds, and tame the pigeon. Next thing you know, your armour, and tools are flying home. You then find a ravine...
You obviously could just have a pigeon follower, or a pigeon farm just for the fun of it.
And there's the potential for minigames/ puzzles. Try an shoot down pigeons before they get to you, or have to send items in pigeons to complete the puzzle... The possibilities are huge.

Pigeons spawn like cows, and pigs, and don't despawn. They lay eggs like chickens, and you can throw these to get baby pigeons
A comparison of adult and baby pigeons:

Since previous tamable mobs like horses, and cats have multiple skins, pigeons would have a chance to spawn with dove colours.

Possible suggestions made by the community:

ThesaurusRex and I worked on creating a more realistic pigeon, that would still fit the game. It has a larger tail, chicken eyes, and a smaller head. The legs are also different.

Reddit user coolreader18 (and a few other people) suggested letters. Crafted with one paper, and one feather, they store a single page of writing, and make a good aesthetic, and are a cheaper way of sending text.

Thank you for reading my suggestion. If you don't like it, don't just say: "No support" Give me a reason like:
"I don't like the trees, No Support." So that I can improve the suggestion.

Yet you never made that clear. You're just changing your opinion now based on what people have supported. You had no intention of a seal of approval system. You just wanted to bend the rules so your server could get through. Once again, DO NOT only respond to posts that are beneficial to you!

THIS ALSO JUST HAPPENED D: are you people psychic? But yeah Im referring to the stupid TNT one. Which I am not linking to because DONT POST IN IT. It's annoying since it's obvious the OP has only 1 post, EVER, and everyone is still just feeding what is essentially a dead thread already. It's like trying to revive someone, but the body's already decomposed.

2- what are these 2 rules that you disagreed with? The optional World Deletion and the difficulty not locked on hard rule. I strongly disagree with them as they are two important things that make the difficulty and challenge of Hardcore mode. Your entire suggestion is about making hardcore "harder" or more challenging, and these two rules are one thing that actually make hardcore more challenging and hard.
6- about passive mobs, yes they are no longer completely passive in this mode. the heavy knockback is not same as of a skeleton with punch arrows, the skeleton is annoying because he fires too many arrows, the hoof kick is only one strike to put you away from him.
about dying to a passive mob. you won't get attacked by a passive mob if you didn't attack him, its your fault if you make your self die to a passive mob. The problem with this is that passive mobs now have the ability to harm players, and even if it's in self defense, one attack can kill a player. And an accidental death is the worst to have, this isn't necessarily an incident. I would have considered one attack, but you suggested two, one of which that deals high damage.
7- about bunnies i didn't mean they should be faster, i'm just saying what is hard about hunting them.
8- i didn't understand your comment on the extra mobs part, i didn't say they are exclusive to hardcore, they just vary more in the hardcore more, just like cows and sheep, they are similar in normal mode, but different in hardcore, my idea was to add other mobs that are not very different even in normal mode to have more variation in hardcore mode hunting. If the mobs your suggesting would also be implemented into Minecraft and vary in hardmode, wouldn't that count as your suggestion as a wishlist, since your suggesting mobs AND a changes to Hardcore mode?
9- the new mechanics are more challenging and fun because at least you are doing something different instead of spamming attacks. If you keep in mind. 1.9 brings changes to that sort of thing, so you can't really spam attacks anymore. And don't praise your suggestion, saying they are more challenging or fun, because someone can come along and prove you wrong.
- more effort = less food and more time spent on hunting This is the most confusing example you've given me. More effort equaling less food and more time spent on hunting?
- the fact that mobs may be difficult to kill because you can't out run them and they might fight back is the state that makes you use arrows and traps, if you use arrows and traps you overcome their new abilities that allows them to defend their selves because there are no new abilities that help them defend their selves against ranged attacks and traps, it only helps against melee. In your suggestion, you haven't really suggested any change to existing mobs, you only suggested new ones. And then again, I don't see any required skill to overcome their abilities.
-same goes for sneak, if you surprise attack a mob and kill him with a few quick attacks they wont have time to run away or defend their selves. 10- about rot, i think i actually said this mechanic is meant to be used to avoid stacking large amounts of food, and you will have to keep collecting food from time to time. I consider it a form of punishment for having too much food. So what? That food is still being put to good use, feeding the player. Wheres the harm in that? You already suggested a large number of limitations to gathering foods from either crops or mobs, why make it any more painful than it needs to be?
11- about mines, what i meant about iron and gold is that they populate specific chunks heavily and leave others nearly empty, so players wont dig anywhere, instead they will look dig and look for good mines. Doesn't that still involve to look for a specific area within a chunk? Aside from that, what's the shame in changing how ores spawn? They spawn fine already, regardless of how hard the difficulty is. Why limit the player's resources or chance of finding them?
12- yes i'm seriously saying the game is easy because day time is completely passive. i didn't say day time should be as dangerous as night time, but it shouldn't be completely passive. Day time, like Night time still brings certain death, there could be creepers or Spiders, or you could die of natural death. There is already a good ratio of danger between Night and Day, and I still believe it shouldn't be used as an excuse for not being difficult enough. It's a time of day where a player should be able to get their tasks done, and have no dangerous distractions around them while doing so.
13- as i said earlier, again, they are not exclusive, they are just less dangerous in normal mode. 14- no i'm not not sure, i said im just giving an example, my suggestion is not about mobs, im just giving example of what possibly could be a threat at day time. The minute you suggest something in a suggestion, it requires as much as attention as whatever else is in your suggestion. This is no excuse to leave out crucial details, it leaves your suggestion vague.
15- about lunar eclipse its just a language mistake don't take it seriously. of course it won't happen all suddenly and the mobs won't spawn within a micro second, you could see it coming, you will have time to hide. also im not unsure, i said im not going off topic, the point of the solar eclipse is that it might put you in a critical situation even at day time, so you won't be moving around defenseless even at day.
once again i say details are not the point of this thread, im just giving examples, my point of the solar eclipse and all of the weather changes is to make threat at all time. A constant thread isn't the best, what if the player wanted to do something else? But has this, unpreventable mechanic, from stopping the player at all? If anyone were to make a Hardcore mode suggestion, they shouldn't make mechanics so annoying and so troublesome that it leaves the player literally exhausted. Even Hardcore has some of it's limits, and for good reason.
16- about the block destruction, i know it might be annoying, but i said "some blocks", it will cause minor damages, especially for durable blocks (like bricks and stone bricks) they won't get damaged. the earthquakes doesn't happen so frequently and between the long period between each you will have time to maintain the minor damages your structures receive. But this still can damage blocks, and within a vast area depending how large of the radius the Earthquake takes up. Even if it's minor, it will still leave a mess around the terrain, and may even ruin the player's builds.
17- about sun strike, simply don't build build flame-able houses in deserts. That's the worst excuse I've ever heard. That's like trying to solve Global Warming by saying "Well don't use electricity!". If this mechanic exists, for the sole reason of destroying blocks, for no particular reason at all, what is the point of having it there in the first place?

I have an idea, if you don't like it, just IGNORE it, because that makes PERFECT sense!

(THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION FOR THE OP)

"If you don't like it, IGNORE it!"

Yes, this makes complete sense. Let's defeat one of the main purposes of arguing by telling people to keep their mouth shut if they don't like something. I don't like the fact that companies are polluting the air. OH WELL! I'll just ignore it. No reason to start petitions or raise awareness! Global warming isn't real anyways, blah, blah, blah. (I'm joking of course)

Even if the thing you are arguing against is less serious than that, ignoring things that you don't like doesn't get anything done and doesn't start discussions. This goes against human nature. Human nature isn't always correct or logical, but in this case, it isn't always a bad idea to trust your instincts.

Most of the time when I see a horribly vague, bad idea, I do just ignore it if others have already came by critiqued it.
