Now sticks are called Rod xD

Go to a village at night on hard or hardcore. Zombies will break down the villagers' doors and you can watch them run from zombies! INVASION!!! :D

That's now what you've found, it's what you've heard. If you're going to drop gossip, don't add a disclaimer showing experience.

I can confirm iron ingots, swords, helmets dropping off zombies. Killed about thirty in my mob trap. As of now, I am not 100% sure you need to deliver the blow for the rare drops.

Just trying to be helpful...

Stick's aren't called rods... they're still sticks, don't give out false information.
Can anyone confirm if you can craft hay bales with wheat? Theres a rumor going around you can.

This sounds really good, I'd prefer the zombies and skeletons dropped special items or hard to get and much-needed items instead of armor and weapons that fill my inventory up with crap I probably won't use anyway.  There currently is no reason to make a zombie grinder in this game.  They're not even very good for XP and the rotting flesh is a turn-off to me. I prefer a skeleton spawner or spider spawner if I feel like trying my luck at getting XP for enchantments.

As for the mob AI updates, what are the classic spiders that don't fit through 1-wide spaces going to receive for their AI update?  If it can't fit through 1-wide gaps, shouldn't it have some kind of special attack it might try to use?  I'll set them up so I can manually grind them for XP but I really prefer skeleton or cave spider spawners as XP grinders, and then mostly the skeleton spawners because they're so much easier to funnel.

Cheers ...

Seems like a rumor. I tried spawning item numbers that would be next in line to no avail. Also tried to craft obvious patterns and nothing. Unless it's wheat + something else, maybe string?

Anywho, seems like skeletons drop bows, pigmen drop golden swords, zombies drop iron, iron tools, iron armor. So now we look towards spiders, cave spiders, creepers, magma, slimes, so on. Don't forget animals too? Let's get a list going.

[Captain Pighard]

Now we need zombies to turn villagers into zombies if they catch them.

I think the loot that the monsters drop should be damaged... makes more sense and it will make the repair feature more in use.

Agreaed. Both thematic and makes more use of existing features. Sounds like a win win situation to me.

Zombies should randomly be wearing armor and/or holding iron tools/ingots now.

[MCSqwirrelz]

If zombies break down doors, the door shouldn't drop as an item. How often has a zombie broken down your own door and it just fell in one piece.  :rolleyes:

[holydragonknight]

Zombies trying to break down doors have a sound effect for it. Really sounds like a true zombie survival horror now!

[ChronosTrigger]

Ender dragons should drop one rare item, and its the only way to get this rare item.. the obsidian pickaxe
