So, as i'm sure most of you know, minecraft can get a bit old after spending countless hours running, building, and killing. and what i suggest, and would like help with, is coming up with certain character challenges that would be self imposed. What i plan on doing is assigning numbers to these, and using a random number generator to select 1+ challenges. Tell me what you guys think! I'll post a few more, but you guys add to what i have, i hope to have games where i randomly select one, and a map, and have to play that way, fun eh?

GENERATION 27: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation.
I'm already trying some of these. Thanks for the list! Heres one I thought of:
Ghost town - (village) If you have a village available, you must kill all of its occupants and partially destroy their houses.
(none available) You must create a town of ruins with obvious signs of abandonment and mob attacks.
I like the Can't stop the music one and the Herobrine must be proud one.
Although I see a problem with the one where you have to keep a zombie in your house at all times. They would despawn if you go far enough away.
Also, the one where you must make a brewing stand and drink one potion per day. This would mean you have to go to the nether and find a nether fortress before the challenge could even be started. All in all, good challenges anyway.
Thanks for the comments guys, but eatbox, fighting with fire, and pumpkin warrior i already had, but thanks for the extra ideas all of you.
I'll try to add the suggestions i like to the main post, with credit of course.
And i will continue to add some of my own, i realize however that these are not all necessarily the same and some may feel more achievement like, rather than a challenge/handicap.
Dwarf- You have to live your entire life underground. EX- Underground Tree Farm, Underground Wheat Farm, Mob-Spawner Trap, etc.
Elf- You have to live your entire life in a treehouse.
Human- You have to live in a house built on the ground.
Flying Pig- You have to live in a flying house.
I'm too Lazy!- Use an NPC's house as your home.

Diamond: Look at your chest. Now back at me. Back at your chest. Sadly, it doesn't have me. But if you went digging at layer twelve, it could have a cheap impersonation of me. Look down. Back at me. There is now cheese. Anything is possible when you have me in your chest. I'm in a chest.
Full Garrison- have at least 10 snow golems and 2 iron golems within your home at all times. If one dies, immediatly make another one to make sure your home is fully protected.
--------------
Great ideas in any case, I'll look forward to using these challenges in my own game.

Trapped in Hell: Once you enter the Nether, there's no leaving. Bring everything you'll ever need. It's Very Dark: You have to always be on the lowest Brightness setting.

Can i put this in my topic of different challenges?
Feel free Man! a little credit would be nice though :)Jssarfin, those are some really good ones, i approve! Post em, and i'll throw them into the main post with you credited.
How about the long range challenge, where you can only use Bows, Splash Potions, and any other long range weapon, but you can't attack anything using melee. Keep in mind, you can still get a sword to cut cobwebs, but you can't attack with it. Same with axes, picks, spades, and hoes, you can get materials with them, but can't attack.
Useable weapons: Bow, Splash Potion, Flint and Steel, TNT, Fire Charges, and redstone if you want to use traps.
I'll post a few more, but you guys add to what i have, i hope to have games where i randomly select one, and a map, and have to play that way, fun eh?
