Hey guys long time minecraft, first time on the forums. Just been thinking about 1.8 and got to thinking... what if there could be player alignments. So instead of fighting skeletons you could ally with them and fight pig men.
This would basically break the game into five factions:
- Pigmen
- Zombies
- Skeletons
- Zombie Pigmen (nether)
- "Golems"* (nether)
*The Golems are just a hypothetical race to antagonise the zombie pigmen.
By aligning with one faction all others become aggressive towards you ( this would not carry over to the nether, so being zombie aligned does not prevent alignment with the zombie pigmen). In order to align with a group you would have to approach some type of a recruiter. Until then game play would be normal.
In addition, with the new level system Notch has suggested players could gain favor with their faction to reap benefits. Such as allies and mounts.
Skeleton alignment would allow for spider mounts.
Zombies would give bats (new mob).
Pigmen would give horses, (see Dr.zharks mo'creatures).
Zombie pigmen you allow for ghast riding.
Golems would give lizards.
Creepers would be an unalignable faction, as would animal mobs like cows and chickens. (sorry xmikeee)
This is my idea in its basest form. Just wanted to get it out there and see how people respond, so lemme know what you think. Thanks for your time and care.
Thanks for the quick responses guys. I thought about the creeper thing and thought.... creeper...chaotic evil.
...So add creeper hives. Get concept art soon for this too. But basically non-alignable creeper, spawning with increased frequency in "hives". Maybe add a "creeper queen" and two new blocks to help the aura. A green glowing block- light level of redstone torch. And a "creeper vine"?...
Also about contacting Modders, if any body knows any good ones tell me their names so I can get to them.

P.s. I will try to get some concept art up soon.

Couldn't resist.
Anyway, I like the idea, Especially if I can have skeleton in guard towers.
They're supposed to be mindless mooks with a hankering for some Steve? stew.
If you look to your left, you'll notice that this isn't Fallout!
^Basically.
