Contron's NPCs for Minecraft 1.1
I *will* work on this mod once the official modding API is released!

I am happy to announce that I will work and update this mod once the official modding API is released. I still have the original source code so it will be a matter of simply porting the code over. I'm as happy as you!




Simply put, this adds interesting, yet gameplay-fitting mobs to Minecraft. Examples include Piglets, Farlanders and Tameable Hellwolves. More to come!

Wait, these are just retextures!

No, they're not just simple re-textures. Yes, they do look similar to mobs already in the game, and use the same models, but I can assure you that they each have different functions and abilities, making them far from simple re-textures. We use the base texture of a mob already in the game, and modify it, whilst using a model from a different mob.. This is to keep the "vanilla" feel on Minecraft still in the game, as you're seeing a model and texture you already know.

This is my first mod, I hope to make more in the future. However, it depends if people like them!

Install Guides

How to install Contron's NPCs for Minecraft 1.8.1, by the very nice SillyGooseNati0n.


Another install guide by the friendly people from TechLetsPlays.

Mobs

Pigmen
Passive, neutral mobs. These are the Pigmen that are un-used in the games files. Spawn where pigs spawn.

Spoiler

Abandoned Miners
Very rare, but very rewarding. Dangerous enemies that haven't seen daylight for God knows how long. They'll randomly mine blocks, although rarely, since they're out of it. Spawns deep underground.

Spoiler

Drops:

Spoiler

Rusty Pickaxe


Their own old and rusty pickaxe. It's not that good!

Lost Explorers
Also very rare. Netural, until provoked. These guys don't know where on Earth they are, and it shows. Spawns in swamps.

Spoiler

Calfs
Less common than cows, but not rare. They are small, young cows that cute! Spawns where cows spawn.

Spoiler

Drops:

Spoiler

Raw Veal


Some meaty veal, straight from a young cow. It tastes better cooked!

Piglets
Less common than pigs, but not rare. These adorable little piglets will eat your heart out. Spawns where pigs spawn.

Spoiler

Tameable Hellhounds
Everyone's favourite tameable mob, but now from the Nether! They are more tougher and quicker. They are as rare as normal wolves on the Overworld. Spawns in the Nether.

Spoiler

Farlanders
Very rare, but the rewards are worth it. These creatues are remnants of what used to be the Farlands, crawling their way to the Overworld. Spawns deep underground.

Spoiler

Drops:

Spoiler

Farlander Gem


A rare and valuable gem, it has supernatural powers in which Farlanders won't be able to see you if you hold it.

Lambs
Less common than sheep, but not rare. These are lovely little baby sheep that look huggable. Spawns where sheep spawn.

Spoiler

Drops:

Spoiler

Raw Lambchop


A juicy lambchop, you should cook it however!

Jungle Spiders
A rarer variant of the normal spider. These guys are a tad quicker, yet more interesting. They will place webs rarely around where they are. Attach a saddle to these guys and you've got a unique way of getting around. Spawns in swamps.

Spoiler

Drops:

Spoiler

Jungle Spider Eggs


Gooey eggs straight from a Jungle Spider, that are edible. You should cook these for best results!

Undead Archers
Rarer than zombies, but not completely rare. A variant of the Skeleton, these guys pack more of a punch for more of a reward! Spawns where zombies would spawn, 3/4 of the time.

Spoiler

Drops:

Spoiler

Broken Arrow


A useless broken arrow. However, craft two of these and you'll make two new arrows!

Water Slimes
A tad rarer than squids, but not completely rare. They use different behaviour to normal slimes, which is interesting! They're a passive version of the normal slime, until provoked. They'll splash around alot, though!

Spoiler

Drops:

Spoiler

Water Slime Egg


A wet and cold slime egg, that you can eat (if you really want to.)

Skeletal Warriors
Rarer than skeletons, but not completely rare. A variant of the zombie, just like the undead archers, these guys pack more of a swing for more loot! Spawns where skeletons would spawn, 3/4 of the time.

Spoiler

Drops:

Spoiler

Rusty Sword


Their own old and rusty sword. It's not that good!

Lava Slimes
Similar to the ones that may appear in 1.9, they're a dangerous Nether mob! They use the same behvaiour as water slimes, and they're immune to fire. Spawns in the Nether.

Spoiler

Drops:

Spoiler

Lava Slime Egg


A hot and sticky slime egg, that can be thrown to rarely grow a Lava Slime in the overworld.

Sandworms
Not that rare, but not common, either. They're quick little things based off silverfish - so they may swarm you! Spawns in deserts.

Spoiler

Drops:

Spoiler

Sand Grain


A grain of sand, that you can craft in to one sand block, with four.

Bottomfeeder
A tad rare than squids. They're cute, passive, little water fish, that paddle around. They'll spawn where squids would spawn.

Spoiler

Drops:

Spoiler

Algae


A bit of fungi, that you can use on cobblestone/stone bricks to grow moss on them.

Zombified Wanderer
A rare variant of the zombie, they're travellers that have caught the zombie's disease, and it shows! Spawns where zombies would spawn, with a less chance. They will ocasionally place a log here and there, so if you're seeing misplaced logs, be extra cautious!

Spoiler

Drops:

Spoiler

Rotting Flesh


A chunk of soon-to-be rotten flesh. It's not as poisonous as regular rotten flesh, but hardly any good either!

Chick
Less common than chickens, but not rare. They're adorable little baby chickens. They drop the same and act so cute! Spawns where chickens spawn.

Spoiler

Drops:

Spoiler

Yellow Feather


A smaller version of the normal feather, it can be crafted in to a yellow cloth block by placing four in a block-shaped pattern in your crafting grid.

Jellyfish
A tad rarer than squids, these small little creatures look quite cute. However, it's not a good idea to get close to one! Spawns where squids spawn.

Spoiler

Drops:

Spoiler

Algae


A bit of fungi, that you can use on cobblestone/stone bricks to grow moss on them.

Water Golem
A variant of the normal Snowman, these water-based creatures spawn naturally in snowy and wet areas. They are harmless, completely.

Spoiler

Drops:

Spoiler

Water Bomb


A useful bomb-like item that can be thrown. When it lands, there is a random chance that it will create a magical aurora of water for a short period of time!

Jungle Slime
A jungle variant of the already-large slime family. They are slightly more aggressive, however, compared to their 'cousins'. Spawns in swamps.

Spoiler

Drops:

Spoiler

Jungle Slime Egg


A wet and squishy egg straight from a Jungle Slime, which is edible.

Would Be Nice, If They did other things.


But nice first mod

[mastapatch]

[navyvinny]

[caagr98]

What is that thing next to the birch in the first picture?

EDIT: Just saw that it's a wolf.

[Sunday13]

When I saw the title I thought you were talking about Zombie Pigmen not the actual removed pigmen
So nice first mod!

Mmmmhm. I was about to say it was a pigmen but then you edited it before I could click the quote button.

[nerdboy64]

Nice first mod. Maybe you can add diferent varieties of them, like merchants that will sell you things for diamonds and gold when you right-click them, and soldiers and archers with swords and bows (respectively) that will fight off hostile mobs. Also, maybe when one is by another mob (not you), it turns into a zombie pigman instead of just dying. But for now, great first mod and i look forward to future updates.

[Contron123]

Woah, thank you all for the good replies! I didn't think I'd get this much support.

I'll try and add some sort of trading system, and make them only spawn in NPC Villages. This way, they'll be more rewarding to find!

He may drop some, or all, of his equipment.

[Amber Tonerre]

could you make a tamable mob? like a knight or something and its title could be (he doesn't know who he's guarding buy his services) and he could have like 2 times ur health BUT he would be rare and ud have to buy his services with gold. i hope its not too hard
