Picture this: Your sailing down the river in your little boat when you meet ocean. You are an explorer going out for distant lands. A few Minecraft days pass when you see something large,tall and oddly bright. As you get closer,you see it is a giant boat like a pirate's. It has a wooden frame with black cloth lining the top two layers of frame. It has a great, giant mast with a brilliant white cloth sail. As you near, you see something moving on there. You wonder if it's the normal pigs, because it is day time after all. Then something flys past your head. An arrow! But how can there be skeletons?!?! Because they're not. They are pirates, the most feared things of the sea! You decide to get on your diamond armor and grab your bow. You sail towards it, dodging arrows leftt and right. You look for a way to get on. Then, you find a ladder on the side. You grab on, climbing with your bow in hand, expecting to see a human like thing. Instead you see zombies with arrows, stone swords, hooked hands, and peglegs. They wear ripped, white shirts,black pants and red bandanas. You fight through the horde of constantly spawning pirates to the door at the stern. There is a sign above that says "Captain's Quarters." you go in and see a zombie pirate dressed in a tattered, red shirt, black pants, no cap or anything on top,just a bald zombie head with an eyepatch. He has a hook, a peg leg, and an iron sword. You fight him to the death. He fights with swift attacks, and seems to be indestructible. The room is dark, making it hard to see. You bring him, accidently, outside. As soon as he steps outside, he bursts into flames, swells up, and explodes a few seconds later. As soon as that happens, the pirates burn and die, leaving the ship safe. For now. You rush to find the spawner. You go down into the hull and see a black version of the normal mob spawner with numbers counting down in it. You go and attempt to break it, as you have no torches, and find it breaks surprisingly easy, like breaking a tree down. It drops 4 torches. you light up the hull and see a chest at the end of the room. You loot it, finding it is filled with arrows, iron, some melons, and gold. Lots of gold. You are succesful in your raid and eat some victory melons on your way to your boat and continue on your exploration,riding into the sunset. Did you picture that? Want it to happen? Here's how it could!
Pirate ships would spawn a little more than villages do. They would be a special biome,like mineshafts, for pirates to spawn on. They woul be made of three sections:
The main platform, a 15 block wide and 30 block long platform that is 1 block thick. It would end in a triangle laid down that is two blocks high and starts at 15 blocks wide and decreases down to one block, decreasing by a block on each side of every row of blocks. In the middle of the first row is a ladder that leads to the hull.
The hull shares the same dimensions as the platform, only it is 6 blocks high and is hollow inside.
The Captain's Quarters is a 15 block wide, 60 block long, and 6 block high room that holds the captain and is gaurded by a wooden door.
The Pirates:
The archer pirate is like the skeleton in behavior,but has only 4 hearts, so it attacks in groups. It's arrows deal half a heart of damage and have a 25% chance of being poisoned. He drops rotten flesh
The normal pirate has the same health as the archer and attacks in groups. He weilds a stone sword. It deals one heart of damage but has a 10% chance of being poisoned. He drops rotten flesh
The captain is a deadly opponet but has one weakness: Light. He burns and explodes when he is in daytime light. He weilds an iron sword that deals two hearts of damage and heals him 1 heart every succsesful hit. He runs incredibly fast,twice as fast as you and has FOURTEEN hearts. When he burns in the light, he cant move and explodes without destroying anything but all the pirates on the ship. He drops a wooden sword.
EPIC! And it would get even epicer when notch makes blocking actually do something! It would be really cool to just get in a duel, you and your sword, and the pirates, an epic battle to the death! Maybe when you beat all of them you get a treasure, like their cannon, or a dueler's sword, it does iron damage, and lasts forever. It would be epic!! Piggles says yes to zombie pirates!

first two on page are pirate archer/swordsman (can't get him to hold bow) other two are captain
It would be awesome to see horror pirate ships in the ghost and fog style.
