Dinnerbone, what have you done!?

EDIT:
Skeletons now shoot faster as you get closer to them.
It seems that the damage is now based off how far the arrow travels. They'll do 2 hearts at longer ranges, and do .5 up close.

Zombies now seem to be tied to groups more. For example, if you shoot a Zombie with an arrow, even outside of their detection range, any Zombie nearby the one shot will aggro on you.

EVIL!

Wow! Here I was complaining about a lack of difficulty... and then suddenly, Dinnerbone adds more difficulty!

I guess that skeletons try to keep their distance to you more than before, while Zombies charge at you? Or they just jump away.

Maybe zombies dodge arrows (similar to endermen)?

I hope you are right. Very hard to pull off I imagine, but upgraded AI would be way more satisfying to fight than simply increasing resistance.

I assume zombies zig-zag a little more when approaching and skel's try to stay at range. Personally I think zombies should take reduced damage from bows (varied by difficulty setting) and just forget about trying to finesse their movement AI.

skeletons harder to melee?

Only pain and suffering can come from this.

Good.

I'm going to say may not happened.

I hope the sames goes for witches and blazes, even though blazes already fly.

Dear God, not blazes. They already like to go "Hur dur, I'm going to hover over a long drop to lava so you'll never melee me nor get my drops!" enough as it is.

As would I, but IMO the MineZ zombie AI is really easy to abuse.

Wonderful.

So zombies might dodge attacks and skeletons will dodge too? Oh dear god, some skeletons are already hard enough for me. But zombies do need a boost.
