A new image of the new creature - commonly referred to as "Endermen" - was released recently (enhanced here, for light levels). This image is much more up-close-and-personal than the first, giving us a good look at the new creatures. It would seem that wearing a pumpkin prevents the new mob from seeing you, although this is unconfirmed at present.
Additionally, Notch mentioned a possible name-change for the newly minted mob, "Farlander" being suggested and, apparently, already in heavy use.
farlander doesnt sound cool at all, it sounds boring and uncreative and a ripoff of highlander
On a side note, unless this is SMP, then this picture proves that the NPC villages will be filled with Humans.
Here's a suggestion, don't use diamond blocks xD For me, all my diamonds stay in a chest unless I'm doing pixel art
Topic about that: -WAIT-
they do that so we dont learn so much about the new update. it already seem about 3 things:
1: zombies, skeleton and spider seem to work together (maybe creeper too)
2:those farlander look not so cute they could be agressives mobs wich work as builder for them
3 skeletons, zombies and farlanders seem to spawn in light now
I say we rename the Far Lands to "The End", and keep the name "Endermen"
There was a thread on Reddit. about it. Also, wearing pumpkins on your head makes it so Endermen ignore you, but the pumpkin will slowly deteriorate.
What does a pumpkin have to do with it? But there is something up with that pumpkin, why is it all purple? I think it might be night vision, or might just be enhancing. The reason the enderman is not attacking is because the recticle is on it.
What if they steal the chest your dimond blocks are in?
It seemed our "friends" the wolves had the sole purpouse to push us off clifs and into lava.
And did anyone else see the arrow sticking out of the zombie in the picture?
I voted farlander. But now I'm starting to think the other one is a more awesome name. I really don't care what it ends up being. But seriously? 200 people viewing the topic??? xD
It could be called Dave and I would still be terrorfied.
Haha, you wish, bud!
Pigmen are the ones that will have villages, not humans. Humans would complicate things, from aesthetics, (they would all look the same) to code (A whole new level of AI intelligence would have to be introduced).
