I've always had a certain interest in aliens, so I thought it would be cool if they were added to Minecraft.
-these invasions would not happen every night. they would be a rare occurrence.
-there would be hostile aliens and passive aliens.
-passive aliens would act more like Zombie Pigmen, they'd only attack out of self defense.
-they would either come unexpectedly or the night sky would show signs that they're coming.
-hostile alien invasions would happen at night.
-they'd be more intelligent than other mobs; they'd being able to work switches and doors.
-fighting back would be necessary if they're hostile.
-they'd take cows because they're alien.
-you can get abducted, this would be like going into the Nether but instead it would be an alien spacecraft. The hostile alien spacecrafts would be very dangerous making a reason not to get abducted.
-hostile aliens would be able to abduct you if you don't fight them off or someplace they can't get you.
-passive aliens would be able to abduct you while you sleep at night, these would be unexpected, and you'd be helpless against them. Because of this, you would not take damage during these abductions unless you attack them.
-both hostile and passives aliens would drop special items. Hostile aliens would drop items when killed, passive aliens would give you the items if they abduct you.
-resulting gameplay would be in SSP, you'd have more of a reason to fortify your structure and in SMP, you could team up with the other players to take the aliens on.
If we were to have aliens, we would also need an evolution system. It wouldn't be like something that happens over time, it would just be a large adding of tools and vehicles.
MEDIEVAL AGE: TNT, bows and arrows, swords, everything of now, but there should also be horses
SEMI MODERN AGE: Muskets (they would just be called guns though) and fuse bombs that could be thrown
MODERN AGE: Machineguns (they would look like M16 assault rifles), cars, airplanes, tanks (ammo for tanks would be TNT) and machineguns would be attachable to cars and airplanes. Also, craftable launchers - ammo for it would be TNT
and we would also be able to craft space ships, which would be like portals that transport you to the moon instead of to the Nether. On the moon, there would be a special ore called Cosmite that can be used to craft a laser gun. It would be like the bow and arrow is now, but it would fire straight like the musket would, and it would catch the most burnable things on fire.
My idea for aliens is that you would only see them on the moon, but they would come at night in UFOs and abduct cows if there are any. You could shoot these UFOs, but then they would fire back with explosive projectiles and destroy you unless you had a strong enough weapon.
On the moon, there would be friendly space pigs and space cows and space sheep, and harmful aliens that would come out at night

I disagree, what do aliens have to do with evolution? The concept doesn't really fit and most likely too complicated for implication into a simple game like Minecraft :ohmy.gif:
this is a bad idea.it put people in rage when they feel safe with just a door but woops it turns out you need blocks behing your door now, and creepers are the aliens, they are hard enough as it is,now infrequent attacks i could deal with but not every night!
With my idea, it would only happen in the main world, and would only generate the alien mob and single structures for each abduction, no chunk generation. I don't want it to be something the player can have control of or take advantage of whenever they want to, I want this to be a surprise occurrence, people say Minecraft is scary because of Creepers, but I don't really think so anymore, the Enderman will probably make Minecraft a bit more scary because of there behavior but Creepers and the Enderman and the other mobs are all predictable, they all come out every night. With alien invasions, they wouldn't happen often, adding more surprise to Minecraft other than "sssssSSSS *boom!*"

I should have pointed out that it wouldn't happen every night, that it would be a rare occurrence. I thought invasion already implied that it wouldn't happen every night.
I like the invasion idea, but not with stereotypical aliens. If there were an invasion, shouldn't it be with the mobs we have? Minecraft doesn't need 20+ mobs, as most would do the same thing.

WOOT! MORE SHOOTY STUFF!
If Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter were all destroyed, 90% of teens would go insane. If you're one of the 10% that would be laughing at them, copy this into your signature and hope it happens. (Griefing is an art. And a lot of dead creepers.)

It wouldn't be 20+ different mobs, just passive aliens and hostile aliens, 2. And what about zombies, aren't they stereotypical? I was thinking they could look completely different from what popular culture sees aliens as looking like, I mean, in Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask, the aliens weren't stereotypical looking, they could look totally different, or however Notch wants them to look.

Otherwise, good idea. It might entertain some but I don't know how most will feel about it.

I think that's why it's a good idea. Being scared is fun if you're physically, IRL, in no danger.
