Hi guys!
i started this topic is to tell you about my MC ideas; a whisle (dogs), a lanturn, a shutter.
hope you enjoy reading this :biggrin.gif:
1. the whisle
now like most tools this would wear out.and is not placeable. so what is it? well with dogs, and dogs as pets looking like a strong possiblity this made me think? how would you tame them? how would you command them? so i thought of the minecraft whistle. now this whistle has 2 purposes, -
- Tame a wild dog
- command a tame dog.
now i would like more than one type of dog,
> a gaurd dog
> a pet dog
the gaurd dog would attack mobs for you and will not be approached by hostile mobs, this will alow you to gaurd your house with the dog from hostile mobs. when in range of a mob spawner, the mobs will not spawn. but this dog will walk at 2/3rds of the speed you walk. but these have the same spawning chance of a spider jocky. for every 100 dogs statistcly one of them will be a gaurd dog. these might also act like spiders during the day in the repect of hostility.
the more pet like dog will follow you around, you can put a saddle on it. this dog is just for company as we all know minecraft is quite a lonly game. this will replace the use of slimes as pets. dogs will be uncommen. but you will probably see one every now and then.
so the point of the whistle is to tame and command these dogs. now im not shure how to use a whistle on them, as left clicking sounds a bit easy. but if it comes down to that then i have no problem. with commanding i think right click to follow, left click on a non-see through block to sit. for the gaurd dog left click on a hostile mob will attack it. i think dogs sould burn, but maby they can swim. they will take fall damage but i think it would be cool for gaurd dogs to have infinitive health when fighting mobs. and pet dogs will no be bothred by hostile mobs, but if say a stay arrow was to hit it or it was caught in a creeper explosion then it would take damage. if it is killed then im not shure what it should drop? if anything.
i also toyed with asigning a whistle to a dog, like 1, 2 ,3 etc but in the end i think limiting a player to 1 dog is not to bad. in multyplayer, i dont think dogs should spawn if so, they cant be tamed. any way the whistle could wear out or not?, how much it would wear out im not shure. desine proposal;
= iron bar

now please ask me question as i know that i cant of thought of every possible loophole or problem with this or ant other ideas.
2. the lanturn
this will also be a tool, and is definatly not a replacement for tourches. now i hate the idea of replacing torches with these expleshily as if it needs netherack wich you need a dimond pickaxe to make a portal. but this made me think; what about a tool that makes light in tool form. now theres different ways of going about this;
> it is a cheap coal powered tool, however that may work.
> it needs either netherack or glowstone.
> it could be placable and have redstone in the desine so it can be operated be RS dust.
now i dont think this desine should wear out but im just going to throw some ideas at you.
= iron bar (if wears down stone)
# glass
? redstoe, empty, coal, glowstone, netherack hell maby even a bucket of lava!

now your not stupid and can probably guess wich need coal and can be powered.
3. getting bored of typing now but... the will be a placable block wich will be the thickness of a door. going to keep this brief, but unlike a door it can be place horisontliy but needs some sort of block everyside. it can control lava, water and light. it can be redstone operated and can have many uses such as moats, it will have an open and closed state.players can walk on it. or maby they cant, i dont know? mabey they can in closed but not open, this could be a trap door?
= iron bar
# planks
\ stick
and redstone in there somewhere mabey?

Argh! I can't wait until Beta 1.4 because of the pet dogs! I personally love dogs, I've got two. Now, I've been thinking about items and/or functions for the upcoming pet dogs:
