Step 1: Explore until I find an NPC village.
Step 2: Leave no survivors.

Oh, I'd help around, mine some stuff for the villagers, trade with the merc-RAID PILLAGE BURN-hants, maybe slay some of the monsters that are bothering the village...

What if in the 1.8 update there's going to be...Endermen mob-spawner blocks. In the Dungegons. Which will lead to underground Endermen that stalk you while you mine. My god.

It would help the creepiness factor if they were completely and utterly silent, with the exception of their footsteps.

They can pick up fire.

o.o

If that's the case then I guess I'll just sit down and cry whenever I see one come after me.

Let me just start by saying that I am an avid fan of horror games. I've played through Doom 3, all 3 Penumbra games, Amnesia Dark Descent, and Silent Hill 2, all of those games without even flinching. No reaction whatsoever. None.
Despite this, for some reason Minecraft is the only game thus far that has the ability to make me legitimately jump out of my seat every time a creeper appears out of nowhere and kerplodes my face into oblivion.

And you know what? I have no idea why. I've played through countless games that were designed to invoke the exact same reaction in me, all of which failed to do so, but the moment I play a game that was not designed to startle the player is when I become exponentially easier to frighten? It's rather perplexing, really.
Now I'm beginning to wonder if anyone else who plays Minecraft has the same thing happen to them.

So what is Steamcraft?
Steamcraft is a complete overhaul of Minecraft. It adds roughly 40 new blocks, and about 70 new items. It also changes the way some items are crafted, notably Redstone, which is completely replaced. It does this to attempt to make Minecraft fit in with a steam punk style. A lot of the new content focusses on making the game feel more like it is set in the late 1800's.



Planned Features:

• Craftable Robotic Mobs to perform various tasks
• Steam Trains to allow faster travel
• Steam-Powered Zeppelin
• Craftable Mob Spawners
• Gears to provide "Kinetic" power instead of "Electric" power
• Electric Motors and Kinetic Generators to convert between Kinetic and Electric power
• Portcullis blocks, which can be put together in any shape and raised by Gears
• Expanded Nether dungeons

This mod may be downloadable, but it is still a work in progress. More features are planned but have not yet been implemented.

Special Thanks:

• Glimmar - For allowing me to edit his texture pack for use with this mod.

Quote from Vostok I

Actually, they do have glowing eyes - and not white ones, they're either green or red, depending on if they're hostile towards the player or not.

I intend to immediately edit their texture so that the eyes are white when non-hostile. However, when they attack me...eyes go black. I can't wait to be jogging around my mine when I suddenly see a pair of white dots, which promptly vanish, leaving only darkness to escape from.

I'm ruining my own sleep, I tell you.

- Overview -

The "Eye" Block is a block that simply powers redstone wires/devices when its 'vision' is interrupted.

- Function -

The way the block works is that when placed, it faces the player. Right clicking the Eye (or when it is first placed) will cause it to locate the furthest block directly in front of it, and store the distance from the Eye to said block. (Maximum distance would be 16 blocks)

Then, if a block OR entity comes directly in front of the Eye and is within the set range, the Eye will power redstone wires and/or redstone devices. If the obstruction leaves the Eye's vision, the Eye will no longer be a power source.

The Eye can also see through glass and other transparent or non-solid blocks, meaning that a glass block and torch (or water, sign, ladder, etc.) will not trigger it.

Right-clicking the Eye block will reset its range by searching for the furthest block within range again, and setting the distance.

- Graphical Diagram -


- Applications -

Currently, the only 'sensor' we have that detects entities is the Pressure Plate, but that is limited to a one-block space and blocks water.

The Eye block can cover a 16-block line and only takes up one block of space, meaning this can be applied in situations where pressure plates simply would not work.

Also, traps that make use of pressure plates have the problem where the plate can be removed, rendering the trap harmless. A trap that utilizes the Eye block can detect players at greater range, preventing players from noticing it as fast as they would notice pressure plates.

- Variants -

There should be two variants of the Eye: one using wooden planks in its recipe, and one using smooth stone.

The 'wooden' version detects everything in its range including dropped items, entities (mobs, players, vehicles, dropped items).

The 'stone' version only detects blocks and entities (not including dropped items).

- Crafting -

Possible crafting recipes may include:
Where the red mushroom is Redstone Dust and the yellow flower is Glowstone Dust.

The first recipe enables easy mass-production of the Eye block, but the second recipe gives Glowstone a new use.

- Possible Names -

I'm thinking that an official name of "Detector" would fit nicely, if "Eye block" or some other variant of "Eye" does not.

"There's this mod that..."

YES! I know that mods exist that partially cover this function. However, I am fully aware (and you should be too) that this is the Suggestion forum for MC, not the mod request forum. Please, do not say "There's already a mod that does X."
