I LOVE this Ent!! So cool! And if it does try to put out its brothers and sisters when they are on fire, that would help me out so much. Out of the 6 worlds I have, 4 of them have forest fires that started from LAVA! (lava above ground, MAGMA is really hot non-solid rock (lava) underground.) I only got one of the forest fires completely out. And with the Ents helping that would be awesome!
Ents drop saplings, yes? And do those turn into trees or other Ents? Also is it possible for a Ent to make it's way down to one's tree farm? I don't mean busting down your door and confuting you about the "sick" production you have going. I mean like an Ent sapling somehow mixing in with the other saplings, and being planted.
Can anyone think of uses for bark besides armor, shields, or fuel for a furnace.
From an earlier post:
if we DO have Alchemy or Apothecary, I could imagine it having some sort of special property for potions (because bark is very physically different from wood, made of different stuff) or have some magical/spiritual property because it came from a living creature which could be used for transmutation.
As for Everwood, I guess I forgot to mention it till now, but it sounds too much like Netherrack... except its not from the demon world XD But the infinite burning thing is exactly what Netherack does. Maybe it could do that AS well, but I feel like it should have some other special features to it. In my mind, I see everwood being covering in a glowing pattern (imagine elvish stuff, the soul of the ent still coursing through its veins) and giving off a small amount of light (probably 5-10 light, definitely not even close to a torch). you should be able to use it basically like normal wood except it makes "Everwood Planks" and "Everwood Sticks" and "Everwood Charcoal", etc. And if you craft a weapon or tool using the planks and sticks, it would give you an "Everwood [Tool]". Again, glowing, enchanted, looks cool. Probably shouldn't be MUCH stronger than wood, but maybe it lasts a lot longer. Like it breaks blocks as fast as a wooden/stone tool but lasts as much as an iron one.
And if you build something out of the blocks, they should have an eerie glow to it. Another reason for ents to go on a rampage against your civilization.

Oh....you could have said that a long time ago, let's leave it like slime balls until we find some uses for it (that aren't Armours, shields or fuel for furnaces)
Anyway if you change the name from bark to Ent Bark it will give us more possibilities to work around

Make them drop sticks 100% of the time, along with the other stuff you suggested.

A: Looks like regular tree, but with roots as feet and a face
B: Looks like regular tree, but with arms, legs, and a face.
I think it would be cool if at first it looks like a regular tree, but when awake (moving or attacked) it has a face, legs and arms (would the face be really noticeable like the one in the banner or would it be flat and not noticeable? please describe)

Yeah, I kind of like the idea that when it sleeps it looks almost exactly like a big tree, but when it wakes up it can walk and use its arms/upper branches.

Like this too! I'll add it to my version on the mob suggestion forum!
btw, link.
Also, would anyone be willing to make a Minecraft-style 3D graphic of this?
You've asked, I've done it!(Done with custom pumpkin skin, Moar faces to come. Click to view all of screens.)
And, I really think that ents should be completely standing for mother nature, they would be the guardians of forests. I will combine some stuff posted before on this thread :tongue.gif: Ents are mystical creatures that are very rare, but spawn in small groups. There's should be 1% chance of a whole ent forest! If ents notice that you're attacking a tree, they would change the look in their face, from neutral to mad. If you cut a whole tree, they would be angry, and it would take 10 seconds for them to finally be aggressive. If you place sappling though, they will look happy and won't attack you. Also, they should not stay at their unnatural degrees after wandering around, so lets say if they aren't exactly on a block. This will just make them easy to notice. They should "stack" on the block when they stop walking, but stack smoothly. If they're lit on fire, they will wash themselves on water, and they wont forget about their "hair"! :biggrin.gif: Ents dont like undead, as said before, but they should not care about you killing pigs or stuff, just because hunting is the part of nature (No hunting = no food for predators :tongue.gif:). Also I will add that if you remove all leaves from a tree, ent will be angry too. Tree without leaves will be unable to live! Removing sapplings will also get them angry, but removing flowers wont affect them too harmfully. And what to say about bark, it could be used as another way to make fire, but the chance of it to be there is small. Well, I think thats all! Soz for huge block of text though XD

The saplings they plant will only turn into regular trees.
@AniMerril:
Ooh, I can seee bark being used for alchemy, or herbal medicines too. And Everwood glowing is a good idea too.

Neutral = Doesn't attack until you attack it.
Yeah, I can just imagine "ent's bark" being used in some druid's potion formula or something...
Although that's the same as armor.
Quick question:
What apperaence do you like better:
A: Looks like regular tree, but with roots as feet and a face
B: Looks like regular tree, but with arms, legs, and a face.

You should add the corrupt version, or at least a note about it, to the OP.
