Some people wouldn't want a cat randomly spawning in their homes, so maybe a certain feature, say... catnip?
will cause cats to spawn.
What do you think?
They actually would require a mouse block nearby to spawn. That's a fair condition. :smile.gif: Added an image of a re-textured block to post. It looks like the mouse hole, but it really isnt one. I just needed to get a better image of the whole idea. I hope this also helps modders to get motivated to make this :smile.gif:
Can you send a message to everybody how commented on this post when drzhark actually does make cats, mice and bats and the items? (including me)
Because I REALLY want a cat following me in Minecraft (although it should push you, and ther should be a little distance between you and the cat)
GREAT IDEAS!!!
Of course I will do that, however I think Dr Zhark is busy atm and Im not sure if I will be the first one to hear when he makes it.
Yeah, he just added a new system.
Now the horses that are born grow from small to big.
I hope he finishes the troll soon enough and has some time to do this :smile.gif:
Er... the troll is done. It was done two days ago.
well... instead of it dieing if it attacks a mob... how about it has a 'Tame' meter ( basically a HP bar ) It gets lower when it is attacked, and eventually loses trust with you. then you gotta tame it again?
have the WILD cats despawn and tame will not despawn.

I am pretty sure you would all enjoy hanging out with me... if you like enjoying games for the games and not for the stupid things. ENJOY YOUR HOUSE; It will be gone soon...
They behave based on light, and live naturally in dark caves / dungeons with little light. If the player places a torch in a cave filled with rats, they immediately scatter and begin squeaking and running to hide in the holes.
Also if the player breaks the block that contains the mouse hole / rat hole, it should act like a hive, spawning up to 10 of the vermin.
Rats would also be good for adding atmosphere, able to infest homes made of wood, wool, and even in workbenches and bookshelves. And also it'd be pretty damn scary to take that first pickaxe swing at a dungeon wall, then having a horde of rats spill out.
Maybe it would lead to the creation of rat traps or poison, which could be a new crafting item. Maybe mushrooms used to create the rat poison even, instead of having to create a new block or etc.
the trust bar idea is good but cats should take almost no damage from falling and wild cats should spawn natrualy too and if you are within 6 blocks of water the cat will stop following you until you get away from the water,and cats should run from mods and if cornered fight and also be able to climb some stuff and jump 2 blocks high just as long as there arent any zombie kittehs im fine
P.S:the kids arent the ones who whould cry if cats died,its whoever says they whould

(Sorry,no link,but you dont have to be lazy,its awsome!)
i like that guys rat idea but arent rats evil? like they bite you? i was thinking that if you bust a hive be ready to run... and its a good cat idea cats are known to never die from falling.. i saw a cat fall 20 floors at my apartment and it survived just a limp leg... so mabye 10 blocks before falling damage :biggrin.gif:
edit: OMG why am i "the creter or somthing of the universe" can someone tell me why i liked being carpenter
Looks pretty good. Id love to have pets or companion animals in minecraft, however cats and dogs are a little to domestic for me... I want dragons lol.
Anyway it appears as if there are alot of models and ideas about new mobs floating around on these forums. However, it doesnt seem as if much progress is being made in the actual creation of new mobs and Ive heard very little about the making of any real codes or programs. It seems purely like spectulation and peoples wants or prefrences, instead of prototypes and actual steps towards createing a useable, functioning mod. In my opinion I think everyone should focus on a few mobs, instead of spewing cool animals from every corner of the planet that theyd like to see. I dont beleive its nessacary to have 4 or 5 slightly different birds or cat spieces or whatever. At this point in minecraft mod devleopment we should be grateful for one or two well made new mobs, not asking for dozens (such as in the woodland mobs thread). I understand that very few of us have the ability to create mods, I myself am just barely starting to learn java, and i understand the prospect of new mobs is very exciteing and stimulating. However, i think people need to be more realistic.
With that aside if you have plans to follow through and get this working, i absolutely support you and cannot wait for something like this.
It's just a thought but I don't think that cats should actually be killable wether it be by player or falling, it is kinda giving a wrong impression on animal cruelty and all that, besides I wouldn't want my pet cat to accidently wander off a cliff nor want to see sick jokes about cats being slaughtered on Youtube, it's all very well saying that it's just a game but remember childeren play this game too.
So the ability to beat a pig to death with a flower, or set the ground below him on fire, isn't as cruel as a cat falling off a cliff? Just saying, why is it cruel all of the sudden, but every other animal on the game is allowed to die comical potentially cruel deaths? This isn't the spontaneously combusting cats mod, its just a cat. A virtual cat. A blocky virtual cat.

Lol I did the same thing when it happened to me except I actually made a thread, it's a reference to hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy. 42 is the answer to everything yada yada, you hit 42 posts, your rank changed, you posted asking why, it changed back. Have a nice day lol.

Pigs, cows, chickens, these animals are each known as "slaughter" animals, bred to be killed, cats however (Despite being food in some countrys) are not, hence why game corperations would happily allow these "slaughter" animals to be killed, but not an animal such as a cat or a dog.
Are you seriously arguing that pixels in the shape of something resembling a cat has rights? You can't torture the poor pixels, they don't feel a thing, and simply don't add a hurt sound and it's as if it never happened. Cruel is making a cat that can't die. Imagine how boring life gets for an immortal cat. And what if it catches fire? Are you suggesting we damn these creatures to burn to death but never die? You sir, are the cruel one.
All jokes aside its not animal cruelty if the cat isn't hurt. Animals die, they get hit by cars, they fall off cliffs like lemmings, and occasionally their owners are cruel people that kill their pets. If a game doesn't encourage it, I can't see why there is something wrong with it. And if you don't want to see youtube flooded with videos of cats being killed on minecraft, don't search for cats being killed on minecraft.
