I am trying to make a mod but first I have to think of the concept. What I have thought of is something along the lines of elemental mythical creature companions.
There are 5 elements: Fire, Earth, Water, Light, Dark. Each creature has one element assigned to it. Creatures come in sets of 5, one for each element.
But I have to decide on how you may get the creatures. Do they roam in the wild? Can you find special eggs/summoning items in dungeons? Special dimension? I don't know. But what I know is that you can help. This is my first mod but it will be very big, with many creatures, eggs and evolution mechanics (something similar to Pokemon), possible dungeons, maybe 'evil' versions of creatures, special ways of taming etc.
I hope this mod will become really amazing through support from all of you.
If this is gonna be your first mod, it should probably start out small. If you still want it to be a "very big" mod, you should ask for help from experienced modders.
As for my own ideas, there are plenty more "elements" other than Fire, Earth, Water, Light, and Darkness, and I personally believe that no element should be stereotyped as a "power of good/evil". I recommend you Google each respective element so you can discover the symbolism of each element, how they've been used by others, and how you can have fun with them.
Not to mention that there's no point in "stealing ideas" from a Minecraft mod. It's very hard to pull off anyways because there are so many mods that do the same thing. The closest someone could get to "stealing" ideas from a Minecraft mod is if it's blatantly obvious. Many of my own "original characters" used to be uninspired Sonic fan characters, but I've been able to make them into things that I can safely say are truly my own. In other words, you can't steal an idea if you're able to make something unique out of something else unique.
Your idea makes me think about thaumcraft which have a similar element system to what you wanna add, you should take a look and instead of developing your very own mod you should maybe code an mod add-on
There will be dragons, griffins, leviathan and other things, just need to get everything organized.
all the creatures will be from or based off ones from world myths, legends, and folklore.
Creatures based on mythology and folklore? You've sold me. I'm almost done with the necessities of my personal website. I'm gonna get to work on making some models.

Hmm... Yeah, if you're going for something where you tame and fight with the animals, I'd suggest something along the lines of a fusion device where you sort of 'become' the creature temporarily, like a binding chain or something. The fighting would have to be sort of like regular Minecraft fighting, but you'd have to add your own twist to it so that it doesn't seem too generic.
On the topic of elements, I have one element request: Ice. Who doesn't like ice? Wouldn't it be a good idea to have freezing creatures as well as flaming creatures? And, if you're open to another one, air is an element too. It would be good for it, right? Plus it'd be a lucky seven.

Haha you reviver XD
I don't really know about the fusion idea, and I'm just going with my five elements. Air (+ Lightning) would be incorporated into Light creatures, and Ice will be incorporated into Water types. Earth would have Plant and Metal elements as well (don't want it to be like Pokemon with so many types)
Now that this thread lives again, I can (kind of) get back to work!

Ah, right, don't want to copy all the elements, got it. But you might want to think more into the fighting system. If you have it where you give them commands, then it will be very similar to Pokemon still, even with the lack of all the elements.
Also, if you want to make it an even 6, you could distinguish between rock and earth by having rock be more metal based, and earth cover the plants. ...Yeah, maybe not. Oh well, I'll get a good idea someday.

No, the battle system in this will NOT be like Pokemon's. It will work like the vanilla wolf's. You just hit the enemy and your creature will automatically rush toward it and attack. Each creature will have a different attack style (one might have projectiles, another might have melee attack that inflicts burn, poison, slowness etc.)

hmmm thank you. maybe i should make a tiny test mod first. I would like to give out a creature list but I'm scared of people stealing my ideas...

I'm pretty certain there are rules that prohibit plagiarism. ... Oh, that's right! It's called Intellectual Property.

right but... my creatures are based off many mythological creatures from myth, legend, and folklore so I don't know if that's called 'stealing'...
But actually I don't think it is.

Hi everyone.
It's been a while. I've been quite busy at school!
So I have made a model in MCAnimator. It is a very simple model but still can convey what it is in the game.
It is an egg. Certain creatures hatch out of them, and every creature has a different egg design.

hmm... I don't know anything about Thaumcraft, only heard of it. Maybe just coincidential?

So, what are you thinking about? Fire/earth/water/light/dark/air dragons? Griffins? Or have you not heard of those?
How about this
Earth- Golem
Wind- Etherial being (idk like a ghost cloud)
Fire- Phoenix
Water- Serpent
Light- Dragon
Dark- Dragon
There will be dragons, griffins, leviathan and other things, just need to get everything organized.
all the creatures will be from or based off ones from world myths, legends, and folklore.

its ok. I make models, textures. Just need someone to animate and code...
