I was thinking since single player tends to feel empty, its just you and the ducks and sheep after all. Not that there's anything wrong with sheep, I've often walked up to the local field on cold lonely nights... Anyway enough of that, I was thinking of simple things that could get added to make the place feel more alive.
Birds:
Not like the ones in that mod, but sprites! In Battlefield 2 you use to see a flock of birds take off when you came into range of set points. You couldn't shoot them or even get close to them but they stopped the map feeling so empty. The same could be done for Minecraft with forests, your be walking trough and a flock could take off or be passing overhead. Again they wouldn't do anything but make the world feel abit more alive
Fish:
Again these would be like the birds, but think more along the lines of Mario 64 with that school of fish at the start. It would be good for Minecraft when fishing, you wouldn't catch these fish as there just sprites. But its better than catching fish out of blank water.
Insects:
You could have a random bee flying around a flower like in Animal Crossing. Now thinking about Animal Crossing, that had load of bugs Minecraft could copy! You could also have flies around the pigs\cows etc
Uh.... I like the avatar you have.....*wind blows*

I am just a guy looking for good suggestions that are original, creative, and match the theme of Mine-craft. I have some mob ideas that I need help forming which is a community project.
This is good. But I think that birds wouldn't have to be just sprites. I think they would be cooler as real mobs, but fish and bugs should be sprites. Also, bugs should be biome based, so theres few in snowy ones, but more in woods and the most in rain forests. I also think we need more things to keep biomes different in general.

Good idea\bad idea?
Yeah it's a block of air
I`d also like to see some precipitation now and again. Snow, rain, that sort of thing.
