I was a big fan of your reptile mod... and still am. I had to go on a wild goose-chase to find it again. XD Or should I say wild Monitor chase?


Anyway, I love the new Reptiles and the Parachutes and Armadillos.


However, I'm not finished. It's kind of impossible for me to go by a mod without making some suggestions. You don't have to take these suggestions seriously, it's just something for you to fall back on in case you run out of ideas.

• New turtles (if possible). Red Eared Sliders are small, act like Gopher Turles and have a red spot near their 'ear'. Painted Turtles look like Red Eared SLiders but instead of a red ear they have all kinds of vibrant colors on their shell.
• Armadillos should spawn only in Desert and Savannah biomes.
• Large Crocodiles could become 'Female Crocodiles'. They would not only be more powerful than normal Crocs, but they will also occasionally lay eggs!
• Geckos. This is my most serious suggestion of all: these guys are awesome. Geckos would be passive and they'd have the ability to climb up walls, like Spiders. When needed, they can nip which causes 0.5 damage. The most common species is the House Gecko, which is found in most kinds of forests. Another common species is the Leopard Gecko, which spawns only in deserts. Tokay Geckos are uncommon and spawn only in Rainforests and Swamps. Eyelash Geckos are the rarest, and spawn only in Rainforests.
• Just curious, do Chameleons change colors? I don't know how'd this work, but it'd be cool.
• Maybe Corn Snakes too? Just an idea, I've always had a soft spot for these guys, but could never get one because their food is so expensive.

That's all I have for now, enjoy! :wink.gif:


EDIT: also, you should really add Firehazurd's Frilled Lizard, it's far better than any of my ideas. :wink.gif:

I had an idea like this, however this is much better!


I don't suppose your taking suggestions, by any chance?


I can also make skins... although they're not that good.

You're right, Pterosaurs aren't Dinosaurs, although they are closely related (in fact, birds are Dinosaurs, do I don't know you were trying to point out there). Anyway, this mod isn't called the Dinosaur mod, it's the Fossil mod.


Also, there are some large pterosaurs.The largest being Hatzegopteryx. No, it couldn't be ridden in real life, but Minecraft is a fantasy world, so as long as they are scientifically accurate about features such as fur and walking movement I'm fine with riding.

I'm not sure if you saw my last suggestion, but I have another one:

Butterfly
Passive mobs. They spawn near flowers in full daylight. When you get close they fly away at about 0.5 the player's speed. If they are caught and killed (they have 10 hearts) they will drop Radiant Scales. These can be used to make armor that your Spider minions can wear. It is stronger than Leather but not quite as strong as Iron.

Moth
Passive mobs that spawn in moonlight. They are similar to butterflies, but more insectoid in appearance in contrast to the butterfly, and are a dull purple-grey color. When approached, they fly away at 2.0 the speed of the player. However, they are attracted to torches or other light sources. If you can actually kill one they will give you Vile Scales that can be used to create armor that your Spdiers can wear. It is stronger than Iron but not quite as strong as Diamond.

I'd appreciate a reply, although if a reply is too much to ask for (I don't blame you, I am annoying) I'll just wish y'all good luck on this awesome epic mod.

There is already a similar Poke'ball mod, but whatever.


What I'd really like to see is XP and Nicknames, maybe the ability to see the health of your Poke'mob when he is out, and possibly even moves (examples below). Another thing I'd like is Mineable Rare Stones, but that would need evolution. :/


Move Examples
These are just examples. Also, please note all mobs have a simple normal attack, that they use automatically, while Moves have to be commanded.
Explosion

Chelicerae Chomp
Poison

Evolutions
I just thought I might as well throw this in. I highly doubt you'll use it but, I though, "why not throw it in anyway?"
Spider
Poison
Doesn't evolve from anything
Tarantula
Poison
A large furry spider
Evolves from Spider at lvl 22
Spider Queen
Poison
A huge Spider with bloated opisthosma
Evolves from Spider at lvl 23 when holding a Moon Stone
Creeper
Plant
Your everyday creeper
Doesn't evolve from anything
Elite Creeper
Plant
A creeper with a surprised look that is darker green
Evolves from Creeper at lvl 28
King Creeper
PlantDark
A lighter green creeper with a crown
Evolves from Elite Creeper at lvl 53


I didn't think you'd add Moves or Evolutions. And I don't really want you to add Evolutions. Possibly Moves, probably not Evolutions, but I'd like XP and Levels. They'd go up a heart in health every 5 lvls and also a half a heart in attack damage.

Good luck. approves.

These ideas are cool, but the ink sack could only affect truly to the player, because computer dont see, maybe make they keep moving in a direction and attacking everywhere? As if they were blinded. This can be used for two monster accidentally attack each other.
That looks better for me, atleast.
Also could someone make a cool banner?

Yeah, that is kind of what I meant.



Another easier way this could work is that everything is too small to see, you collect the DNA and stuff all like this, but then you place it into the Microscope/Macroscope. These have no real effect on Gameplay at first, but if a Microscope/Macroscope is clicked, it will bring you to the 2D microscopic world, this works kind of liek the Sims. You watch you creatures, and place them for the price of Generic DNA (Generic DNA will be explained soon), they slowly grow, they can either evolve by themselves or you can help them. Macroscopes, Petri Dish and Generic DNA explained below.

Macroscope: it is the same as a Microscope, but is made with Gold and works at a much larger scale. The creatures it looks at are still to small for the player to see, but they are WAY bigger than Microscopic Creatures. They can also resemble, even look identical to Creatures in the main world.
Petri Dish:
[] [] []
[] [] []
[]
Allows you to collect Dirt or Water, can be used on a Microscope or Macroscope. If a Creature is placed with no water or soil, it will die. Giving 45% of the DNA that was used to create it back (Generic only). But is a Microbe is placed in water, it will begin to swim around, and eat the Algae (or other Cells if you have already placed some Cells) that grow there as soon as Water is in. Every Day and Night they evolve, grabbing more complex parts and such. Every minute they split into 2 more Microbes. By right clicking on the Microscope/Macroscope it will eject the Petri Dish.
Primordial Ooze:
a Petri Dish filled with water. It is pretty much explained above.
Soil:
a Petri Dish filled with Dirt. It can house Macrobes, creatures created when Microbes evolve or when a DNA Modifier is used. Macrobes work much like Microbes, but they only reproduce every 20 minutes (24 hours in Minecraft time), they lay 1-3 eggs that hatch in 15 minutes or so. If they don't get eaten by Carnivores.
Creature Extractor:
[] []
[] []
[] []
( = Leather)
allows you to extract a single Microbe/Macrobe. Just pull it out of the tab at the bottom, with all your Spore-related items, and click on a Creature. The name of the Creature Extractor will then be changed to the Creature, you can then place it in another Petri Dish somewhere else.
Generic DNA:
A little Generic DNA is extracted whenever you use the DNA Extractor on a Mob. It is not actually an item. It only appears when you are at the Microscope or Macroscope screen. It is at the bottom of the page. The tab not only has your Spore-related items, but the Creatrues you have already created. You can place more of these, but it costs a bit of Genric DNA. 15 Genric DNA is got from a Passive Mob each time, 30 from Neutral, 50 from Aggressive, 10 from Skeletons and Plant matter.

How is this of use to the player?:
Eventually you'll get the Creatures to secrete stuff like Healing Powder, Glowstone Dust and even Sulphur! It is mostly just for fun though.


I like your idea WAY more though, this is just a less complex version. I suggest you keep to the original idea.


Also, new part idea:
Sponge-like Fiber: is got 90% of the time from Sponges, 10% from the logs and 40% of the time from Water. It allows it to suck up water if it can't swim. It can only suck up 3X3 at level 1. The item icon looks like this: or the color of a Sponge with holes.

Also, I might be able to make a banner, I am pretty bad but if I put enough work into it it might be good. I plan to have some of the part ideas on it, any ideas?

No... Just no...
This could be compatible but they'd not actually just go "We're not bothered to make our own bugs, lets use MoCreaturez!"
No.

Yes, quite.
The Erebus should be completely Erebus, not a mix of other things that fit.

You should check out the guys at MineFantasy here. Maybe you could help each other ---> You clearly need modders, and I think they could benefit from your textures and your ideas. Sort of a modding trade, if you will. I'd hate to see this mod die, it looks spectacular!

(I wish I could code)

Quote from King Dedede

I must say, I'd really enjoy seeing Citipati or Oviraptor, as a tamable dino. I was thinking perhaps any mobs killed by them could have a substantial upgrade in drops? Another option could be that they'd "steal" items from other mobs, getting drops but not killing the mob.

I really like that idea.I tip my hat to you.Might work on a design for it later,just for the heck of it.

Quote from King Dedede

Actually, there's tons of insects that are aquatic. Not to mention there are also aquatic crustaceans and chelicerates, which are arthropods, as well.

http://en.wikipedia....Aquatic_insects (<<Whirlygig beetles would be really cool)

As for there being no water, it seems a bit odd to me that a dimension would have no water. After all, water is an essential building block of life. I think maybe a marsh, or even a small underwater sea, biome would definitely add some depth to this place.

I have to admit, I didn't know about Aquatic bugs, thanks for telling me this. And you have a point Dede, why isn't there a lot of water? How do the plants down there survive without some form of water source? They need to add some sort of swamp/lake biome to compensate.

And why are there trees that look like their missing a texture? I'm talking about the Eucalyptus Tree (did I spell that correctly?) it's so white, even the leaves are white, it sticks out of the crowd of trees like a sore thumb. So maybe make it look more detailed.

So glad to see this finally updated! I made a spotlight and did find a few bugs. I plant to post a full list of my findings later.

Quote from King Dedede

That's great to hear, about the release! I can't wait to see the new features. If only I could run MC on my current PC...

Sorry to annoy you with ideas once again, but are you planning any aquatic mobs? I was thinking some sea spiders (perhaps a tamable?) and water boatmen for passives, and toebiters (perhaps a mini-boss?) and great water beetles for baddies. Not sure if they'd be passive or hostile, but water striders may be interesting as well, if you could get them to skate across the water surface.

Of course, you are the creator of the mod, and it's totally up to you whether or not to add any concepts we, as the fans, suggest. I just would love to see something to "brighten up" the Erebus's waters, that's all.

Don't worry about annoying us. Ideas help us make Erebus into something that everyone enjoyes.

The main problem with your idea is that as far as I know, the Erebus doesn't have any waters.
Interesting idea though.

I feel this is all I need to say on the subject of armor plated murder fish

Quote from MrCompost

Please stop attempting to advertise this mod on other threads. It is against the rules, and just annoys others. Nobody ever falls for it.

It's funny when you said that you helped this mod out by putting at the top for most recent replies.
The people who post here, like the person above this post, probably only saw this mod because there are so many replies to it.
