Just got back onto posting, but I do have something to share: Egyptian challenge, just cleared Stage 4.
Used Amidst to narrow down good seeds - I wanted to spawn with a desert actually nearby. Found a good one with a desert and a nearby jungle just a bit north of spawn.
Thus far my biggest gripe was mob-proofing the Pharaohs home - I chose for larger chambers than I usually do, to make the structure more towering and imposing. Kept finding mobs popping in, even when I was certain I'd lit everywhere. Second is that deserts always have mobs hissing at you from underneath. But its been fun so far.
I started by building a hut next to the riverbank. Good place for a fledgling farm. Now, I've divvied up the city into four districts: Farming, Residential, Academic and Fabrication. The Pharoah's palace overlooks it all, from the back - I've noted that egyptian constructs tend toward everything funneling to a focal point. Of the large pyramids, one is constructed of nether brick and houses the portal.
Gonna finalize the landscape with the walls coming up - Smooth it all out, and put the Pharaohs home on a more sheer edifice. Should give me the material necessary to build it, at the least.
Honestly, it doesn't make anything more difficult. It just makes caving a chore. Took me fifteen minutes to get a vein of coal done with because I was constantly besieged by zombies.
I just want to get my resources and go. If I wanted a fight, I'd go out at night. Or try a game with a developed combat system.
One thing that'd really help the robotic, technology feel? More animations, I think. Nothing complicated, but the occasional blinking LED light would definitely hint that things ain't natural. Not necessary for things like dirt and stone, but trees, ores and building materials would definitely benefit.
i think they dont fit because minecraft is a game of fantasies and things the world has never seen or heard of in block form everyone knows about witches aswell as bats

So why aren't you complaining about, say, cows?
