A problem that I see is that people might make a mob that is completely harmless, has really low health, goes to the player's location, spawn like flies, and drop extremely rare stuff(diamonds, obsidian, etc.).
Other than that, this is probably the best idea ever.
That's not a problem simply because users can decide which mobs they want to play with. If they want to play with a mob like the one you described, they might as well just use an inventory editing program to get unlimited materials. If the player wants to ruin their own fun, that's up to them. Rules are different on a server, it's up to the Admin then, but who are we to judge them if they rule their own server?
So it is as much of a problem as an Inventory Editor is :tongue.gif:
Sooo... are you going to make this a program anytime soon, or just be a noob screaming: NOTCH, ADD THIS, BLAH BLAH BLAH!!! No offence though, But not making this means it will never, ever, be added. ever.
You may be right, this might not ever get added to the game. However, this is a Suggestion board for a reason: to suggest new ideas for "vanilla" Minecraft itself. It's intended purpose isn't for giving ideas to and promoting mod developers.
I haven't just been screaming for Notch to add this (though some people have been); there has already been a lot of effort put into making this a more full-fledged concept. (Not looking for attention here, but maybe you missed the post of the image that I made)
There are also some people working on their own third party mods of the concept, which shows a good interest to contribute to the idea.
No personal offense, but your post isn't really that helpful and is a bit degrading to the purpose of the Suggestion board. It would be helpful if you had added a comment or criticism towards the idea itself.
go learn java if you want to add your crappy wolfkin to the game
go learn reallife and stop being a fat, overweight loser.
fatass
You two need to stfu, you'll wake the mods with all this thread griefing
Bu, you're entitled to your opinions but if you're going to rudely assert them no one will take your comment seriously (eg: your mass of followers).
we could use some constructive criticism here rather than being shot at (and missed)
is any one going to make this or is it just an idea
as far as I know it's an idea
perhaps there are people working on making it or willing to make it. Krelos (the OP) said that anyone who's up to programming it can do so, so the job's open to who ever takes it.
No disrespect but think realistic, if notch wanted his game editable by anyone that could click and drag a few sliders, he would of implemented it.
Actually I think he'd be to lazy to have added it already if he saw its potential. He seems to mostly focus on trying to fix bugs or add in small fun features that keep your hopes up that he'll do something great in a week or two... or five. If he IS ever going to make it, it will probably be done after the proper API.
Good idea.
I hope you are not planning on asking notch to make it separate from Minecraft (not java program).
I think that mobs should be stored locally and only downloaded if the user chooses to.
That would add something like "Additional Mobs" in the Options menu. There would then be a browser like window to allow you to scroll through mobs and choose if you want more information about it or download it.
it will be part of minecraft if Notch makes it, not a separate feature.
if you click on my signature image, it takes you to my post with a FAQ that speculates on some of these ideas, no guarantees though since Notch hasn't even seen the thread yet :Notch:. there's no real telling what he might do with this idea
Who will make this magnificent idea come to life!??!
And how do the creator of mods like the Human + mod make their custom mobs? Obviously it's possible since they do it. Could anyone explain please?
They have to hard code the mobs with pure programming code. there is no 3D modeling aspect involved, unless they have a script that converts 3D models to the mob model code (which i highly doubt). there is also no interface for easily customizing the mob settings either.
if you don't like the idea of having something inappropriate on your pc, then don't download it. for example, porn just doesn't invite itself onto your computer without your permission (unless it's a virus, different thing tho)
my point is, the inappropriate mobs would not be in your single player game unless you selected them to be there.
the same goes for players building inappropriate things with blocks, it's not gonna be there unless YOU build it
SMP is a whole different ball game though, it's up to the server admins then. you won't be able to prevent inappropriate mobs from showing up on a SMP server just as you can't prevent people from building phallic things from blocks.
Minecraft's rating isn't based on the content that players make anyways. since the mob creator idea would be similar to Spore, I recall Spore having a notice saying "Player creations not rated by [company name]", because the company can't be held accountable for stuff they didn't put directly into the retail version of the game. anyone seeking to discredit Mojang and Minecraft itself by pointing to user creations would be absolutely ridiculous. if someone builds something incredibly stupid, they should receive the negative criticism, not Mojang
you can't ban people from visiting multiplayer servers. each server has it's own jurisdiction. basically, if you don't like what a certain server is doing or allowing, then leave. there are no server police and there should never be any to dictate how a server should be run
your reply does not justify anything, and your reasoning is illogical:
it took you 4 months to learn programming
therefore, it should take 4 months for Krelos to learn programming
but Krelos does not want to learn programming
therefore, Krelos is very lazy
you didn't consider:
-he's not interested in learning programing
-he might not learn at the same pace as you
-he might not have time to learn programming
this. I mean, if minecraft is a survival game, why should we just stick with the original stuff and make our own monsters? a community of mobs seems like an awesome idea, but I think we shouldn't just stick to hostile mobs. maybe we could make boars that are like pigs just with a slightly different skin and attack or actual spy chickens.
that was part of the idea
mobs are everything that moves except you, so that includes animals, monsters, etc.
That actually sounds good:
All submitted mobs need to pass inspection by a Mojang employee.
/sarcasm?
yeah, i can really see someone at Mojang actually taking the time to inspect every mob submitted.
the online mob drop box would be spammed like /b/, there would be no way to keep up with it
@LaughingPickle78
@zophah
they don't need to be inspected at all, they just need a "report mob" button. if it gets enough reports it will be flagged into an inappropriate category only viewable by 18+ (just like youtube)
and also just like youtube (and spore), it's up to viewer/user digression of whether they want to use the mob or not
