The idea behind this is the ability to find a part and use it to make a plushie (simply a 1x1x1 model that can be played) of a mob. These could be used to decorate houses, used as reward for something (like in-game player-made contests and such, I have a plan for a race track as example), or just to show you are a fanatic of a certain mob. I will describe this in order from getting the materials of a plushie, to making it.
Obtaining Supplies
We have plenty of ways to make soft things when you think of it in Minecraft. But what if every mob had a rare chance of dropping some kind of plushie essence (That will be how I refer to them but do note they would not be magical or anything, simply something that is usable to make a plushie of that mob) in which is related to that mob. These items would be things that bear the design of the mob, as so one could (in a note to how you go about it) have a reference when making the plushie. The glowing face being whatever the plushie essence for a creeper is.
Making a Plushie
Plushies would require different setups to make based on what they are. They would require the plushie essence (however this is obtained and whatever it is to base a plushie off) and be built similar to the mob it is of. All mobs would have a plushie of them, from pigs and chickens to the lovable creeper.
That would be a simple example of the crafting of a creeper plushie.
Debrief
A plushie of a mob is simply a small block that looks like them. It is a mini version of them that just sits there, no movement or anything, simply a collectible decorative item. These would place like signs, so that they face you when placed, allowing you to get them pointing in the direction you want.
This is actually a fantastic Idea. I love the idea of collecting little statuettes/plushies of th mobs in minecraft.
Hell, I would devote an entire room in my castle as a sort of trophy room for these things, plus they are a great motivation to keep fighting mobs, because currently I dont bother going out of my way to attack mobs, I've got my bow and thats all I wanted from those spiders :biggrin.gif:
Maybe instead of "essence" of spiders and creepers, etc. each mob would have a part of them that was a rare drop?
for example: a creeper would drop a "creeper pelt" that would be the unique element to create the creeper plushie, or the spider would drop spider legs on rare occasion. this way it seems to keep with the lore of minecraft a little better, I just cant picture a creeper dropping something as abstract as its own "essence".
Notch should definitely look into doing something like this, its a great motivation to keep fighting mobs and a way to show off your exploits and achievements in minecraft
I absolutely ADORE this idea. Being able to collect these would be awesome.

I like it, second most adorable suggestion of the month next to the suggestion to add /tg/-style Kobolds.

The inquisitors were torturing Harry.
First, Ignatius used the rock.
Then Billy asked Harry if he wanted to read his BDSM blog. Harry was so surprised that his pants flew right off. He was wearing women's underpants. The inquisitors were wearing them, too.
That would be a simple example of the crafting of a creeper plushie.
I LOVE THIS!
Great job! I would love to see this!

Mostly because I wanted to buy a plushie set of all the minecraft mobs, and then I realized it was a suggestion for in-game.
Naw I'm just alittle disappointed. Neat idea. But we should have them IRL.
YES.
