so i always thought getting to the nether was boring, all you had to do was find diamonds and obsidian, then block off all the lava
i thought that getting to the nether should be harder, not much harder but still harder (and that the nether itself should be more exiting)
so i thought and thought, and thought, and thought
i came up with this, how about special or nether mobs spawn on obsidian! so when gathering it you would need food, and maybe to make a wall (o ya and a sword duuuh)
now i can already HEAR the trolls saying "well kin then they could just make a mob trap with an obsidian floor", i thought of that
option 1: there would be a "natural" and "mined" form of obsidian, exept the textures would be exactly the same, the only difference: mobs can only spawn on natural
option 2: we can already make mob traps with dungeons and giant dark towers, wouldnt be much of a change
i also thought that with the adition of mobs spawning on it, it sould be a tiny bit softer, maybe take 12 seconds instead of 15
i may add some of the ideas i think of mobs that spawn on it (if not just nether mobs) here if i think of some, but until now leave your ideas in the comments!
EDIT: thought of one!
the obsidian skeleton: (no picture im terrible with my gimp photo thingy)
would be like a regular skeleton, exept made of obsidian!
drops-obsidian bones, obsidian bones could have two uses-
1 obsidian bonemeal= like bonemeal exept it will make things you use it on, bigger. it would craft twice as much dye when combined with a different dye, exept would be considered white (black maybe)? and when used to grow things...
a. trees would always grow "big trees"
b. grass would make twice as many flowers and 3x the area would be covered with it
c. and when used on wheat it would make tall wheat, witch would give 3x the amount of wheat
d. you could smelt it into hot obsidian, which would be crafted into regular obsidian
2spawn rate- rare, only on obsidian (well duh) in dark places
4 attack- would shoot obsidian arrows, dealing 4 hearts of damage
5 health- twice the amount of hits than a regular skeleton with wood, stone, iron, and gold swords, but only 2 with diamond ones, (beacuse diamond is the only tier able to mine obsidian)
thats all, thank you for reading and leave your comments below!
How would the game tell the difference between "natural" and "mined" obby. People don't really use diamond to make a portal. They just make a frame out of dirt, place lava in the frame, and put water on the lava. Not only that, but people could just make the floor out of lava, then pour water on it.

hmmm never thought of it that way, i thought of it more like an equivilent to the cobble stone and stone system, im not a coder so i dont know if its possiblem but maybe it could tell what obsidian was generated by the map and which was not?
ps i use diamond to make portals :/

If the game can spawn Cobblestone from Stone, it can possibly differentiate "mined" obsidian from "natural" obsidian. You're still correct, though; natural Obsidian can still be synthesized, but its tendency to spawn difficult mobs would give you a reason to mine it first (I don't necessarily like the idea, but I do see how it makes limited sense).
This idea has a flaw: Obsidian can only be formed naturally by water pouring on lava. Mobs can't spawn in water. Also: You can make a mob trap by placing lava, then pouring water on it, then removing the water, then making some sort of trap.

read the comment above, another guy said it and i explaned my idea
and like i said, we already have mob traps by people simply making a dark room, so it would throw off the balance too much

[quote=Badgerz]You have to keep in mind that people are stupid.
[quote=Catelite]Just because you don't understand how something works, doesn't make it broken or pointless. >_<
thats ok :smile.gif: as long as someone supports some of it (got pretty badly flamed on my slimy boat topic)
well only if the natural and unatural idea wasnt implemented, beacuse if it was you could still ave you bunker being super safe
