well why would mojang add such a specie bird instead of just adding birds? in mine craft things are kinda supposed to be un specify or like generic for example like.: they only have cows no bulls bulls are male cows, and they only have chickens not hens. and kiwis are only native to new zeland and praobly most player have no idea wit a kiwi is. they r cute birds though.

First of all, please type/spell properly, it's hard to understand when you write like "r cute"
Second of all, the only non-specific things they have are GENDERS. Not species, and kiwi birds are different enough from normal birds to be their own mob.
Third of all, I would like to make kiwis MORE different, so they arent to much of a copy
Fourth, I would like birds as well, so if they have birds (they probably will eventually), why not kiwis?
And Finally, do you think you could help with the idea? You're only person who has responded twice so far, so perhaps you could help me improve the idea?

Thanks! I'll add you to the supporter list!

The fact is, they are too close to being a chicken. They need a use. Kiwi eggs are very big (I've seen a dead kiwi egg) and perhaps that could mean something. Perhaps it can dig up worms for you, which can be used as fishing bait?

I'm sure you have thought of this, but you could make an armor set. It could have the same stats as leather but more durability.

Hrm. I did think of that, as you said, but I thought the idea would be bashed down. To be honest, I wanted to make a feather cloak with the kiwi feathers, as people use them for that in real life, but I don't see what that would do. Perhaps you get higher enchanting levels when wearing it? It should have something to do with experience, potions, or enchanting, as kiwi cloaks are used in aboriginal cerimonies in real life.
And if I did do kiwi armour, shouldnt it break faster? I mean, it IS feathers.

I have thought of the worm idea before, and that this perhaps could replace melon seeds in attracting them, and I guessed they could be used aas fishing bait, but I don't know how. As for the kiwi egg, I believe I put something in about hard boiled kiwi eggs, but I'll go back and check.

Perhaps the worms that a kiwi digs up, when in your inventory when fishing, gives you a higher chance of catching treasure and salmon! It would have to use a worm every time you cast though.

As for your previous cape idea, I suggest that instead of that, you brew the feathers to make a feather-falling potion... a Potion of Flappiness. Which doesn't really make sense since they can`t fly, but...physics. And magic.

Good idea.

I like the idea of a cloak. I think maybe you should get +50% XP when wearing it. And yeah, it should probably break faster. Do you know what people did in these rituals?

I defiantly support this, although I would add a NinjaKiwi reference in there (E.G. It spawns with a ninja costume every 1/1000 spawns) for the NinjaKiwi company.

Partial Support. I don't like them automatically breeding and taking away saplings.

The breeding is supposed to make them have a change, but I made them not breed too often. As well, if I find a way to use worms/grubs, I will remove the sapling eating.

I definately agree with the +50%XP, and with it breaking sooner. I don't know what people did with the cloaks/in the rituals, but I'll try to find out.

I'm going to add in a special thanks to EpicSpacePanda for helping so much with the uses for the kiwi bird, mainly it's feathers, and the idea of the feather cloak.

Honestly, I dont think minecraft needs any more ambiance animals, but this should be a mod.

Vague, redundant, seems like it would not really change minecraft.

Thanks Good luck!

Cool. I live in NZ.

Whoah whoah whoah whoa whoah. I checked, this is not at all redundant, as well I put in tons of detail, so definately not vague, and why does it have to "change minecraft" It's an addition, not a whole major update.
