Why would they be friendly when you attack them?

Someone once said, in defense of a poorly thought out suggestion that was not being supported: "Theres so much awesome and rare things to add and youre just like, oh , thats too good, no, i want something common like a grass block"
But seriously this is quite cool. I would have thought that if ants were in Minecraft they would be in savannah biomes near acacia trees, as some ants do. This is a good idea. I especially like the amber blocks. Would they ever be in slab/stairs recipes? I really like the colour. Also what's blast resistance of amber? I didn't see it.
I don't have the blast resistance yet, and stairs and slabs were mentioned (stairs are in the little example picture I made). I will work on that though.
Maybe they could be in both Savannah biomes and mesas? hhhmmmmm.....
I'll try to update this idea, but it will take a while. I have 4 projects and an exam all due Oct. 20th, and I have to move my house as well. Sorry for the lack of updates so far,I will try to get something out at some point. (probably November/December/January)
I'm just glad m idea is kinda popular! Taking the time to smooth it out over the course of about two weeks before posting really helps!

Something I think would be interesting, basing off of the above comment, is if, when you hit one ant, all nearby(25ish blocks) worker ants started running away from you, at ranges greater than 5 blocks but less than 100, attacking you within 5 blocks, and would cause any ants that they passed within 5 blocks of to either target you, if they are soldier ants, or enter that same running away mode.

That was kind of my idea, but my question wasn't answered yet :D. Weell, you know what they say, great minds think alike.
This sounds like a good idea, I'm pretty sure a lot more people will be compelled to explore the lands further just to find these, especially for those decorative resin blocks.
I like the idea a lot! It would make mesas a lot better, seeing as they are pretty flat and boring at the moment.
My only problem has to do with the base "feel" of it. At least to me, Minecraft seems like a game that is either completely cliche, or completely original. They have Zombies and Skeletons and Witches, blobs of slime, blobs of lava, and Giant spiders. Which are all incredibly cliche. (just look at Hotel Trasylvania. They are a good example of being really cliche and still being interesting. You can find all of those in their Hotel (though the spider is a big bigger than Minecrafts))
And then they have Endermen, Creepers, ghasts, zomie-pigmen.... all of which are totally original.
... maybe a DIY example
If you were to imagine a monster convention, most people (I hope. I'm not usually the kind of person so say "most people think", but I feel pretty safe with this one.) most people would think of the cliche monsters in minecraft. Zombies, Witches, Skeletons, Blobs, ect.
But not Giant Ants. Those are a bit more specific than anything else. And I imagine if one DID come to the convention, it would bring a ton of friends cause ants are social insects. Giant ants are a thing, but they aren't a common thing.
....
Its hard to explain a feel of an opinion.
Just remember that this is MY personal opinion, and I don't essentially agree with myself sometimes....
Yeah. I would actually love it if this made it, cause it would open the doors to more ideas that are uncommon. I just feel like it doesn't quite fit with the current theme.
....
I give full, hopeful support. I'll just finish this complicated thought with that.

Seems a good idea. Ants are a good Suggestion to add to Minecraft. But you should also have ants that are Friendly even if you attack them. Otherwise,
Support
Coding, Gaming, all the same, there all on Computers, Technology is basically my life.
Why would they be friendly when you attack them?

Full Support. Who would say no to Ant Dungeons? I really enjoy all the work you've put into the ants.
I support this!
wow, I thought you never ever ever ever ever ever supported suggestions. now support mine, pretty please???
I'm almost completely inactive, in case you're trawling through really old threads and notice me somewhere.
I support.

This will probably be added in orespawn if you ask them.
Great idea. Just one objection/question:does every ant in a colony become hostile when you hit one ant?

Brilliant.
and sir who made this post ..A++++++
hope this idea gets some light.

This...is actually a pretty cool suggestion...I would love to see a few more dungeons, and this mod enhances the Mesa biomes at the same time!
Support!
This is an amazing idea and it would add a lot of cool more creepy crawly mobs
Total Support!

Brings more of a reason to explore mesas.
Maximum Support. Mesas would be way better.

Full Support. Love the ant idea. Adds the "Creative aspect to the game, and makes it unique, since, you know, giant ants. xD
