These look to be pretty good mob additions. One possible addition that wouldn't take too much work (I think) would be a giant lava-dwelling crab for the nether. It could have a texture like netherrock to blend in if it comes out. Maybe even have it spawn in water or lava near a portal.
1. I have not found any crabs spawn naturally.
2. When crabs go into deep water or under a tree, they become aggressive. I think this is because of water's insane darkness even at shallow depths, and the crabs using the spider's code for hostility in darkness.
3. The crabs have skeleton sounds... are these placeholders for better sounds?
Lol, if you guys are really having problems with the spawning, just rip the code from my old Brain Slimes mod. It'll be in the method "public boolean a()", just needs to be renamed to "public boolean c()" and a few other things need to be renamed. They spawned on beaches with an acceptable frequency.

Acceptable? Those things were EVERYWHERE. I'd recommend changing the frequency to about 50% lower to make crabs relatively common, but not annoying.
The meat was made by Velvokay but I thought it looked OK. I will make my version of the crab meat. I know how he wanted it to look so I will try to make it that way. Cookies wut?

It's orange and not red because Velvokay used a cooked version of the crab meat. Maybe he should add the ability to cook it. Anyway, I used a picture from the internet for it. You see a piece of the shell and a piece of the meat in the sprite. If it only was the meat then the entire sprite would be the light color.

I like it, it'll be good for people who haven't ever seen fresh crab meat/legs before :smile.gif:
The fact that they attack underwater makes swimming more dangerous (in fact, is one of the first danger things in water besides new Humans + pirates) and I love it, I'll have to use boats everytime I want to go into deep water :smile.gif:
Congratulations to Daveyx0 and velvokay! I'll wait for further versions
I know it's just starting, but maybe you could add some strange (or not that strange) crab species, like the Coconut Crab (http://seasweetie.files.wordpress.com/2 ... t-crab.jpg) wich would have an special hability like climbing trees (this species climb trees and palms to take coconuts, their common food), and if you kill them maybe you could get more meat or better quality carapace units. I don't know, it's just a suggestion, maybe for the future :smile.gif:
All right, all right. Do you think the crab will be done by the end of the week? Also, in that case I can't wait until the weekend.
First release is out :smile.gif:

You probably know them by now but they are in the OP now

Edit: It will be fixed
I thought it looked like a stick of dynamite or a firework stick.
The meat should look like Crab Cakes:

I only heard of crab cakes, never eaten them
