U should read this, guys :smile.gif: Even if it wont be added - it's still interesting to read about this creatures. And maybe u'll want to create a mod with one of this creatures (just pm me if u will - curious how it will look like).
So, I was like playing pre-release of 1.8, listening to Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works (particularly track named "Tree").
Building 1 block high tower to hide from monsters around. Seeing the sunset, thinking about that night after a splendid colour show of the sunbeams.
So... Creeper, Enderman.. More and more survival, huh?
What about adding MORE survival? Like creatures in the air, that will come out of a special caves when night falls? And they will fly and seek for any meat - will it be skeleton or zombie. Or YOU. (btw this idea is taken from "Pitch Black")
I think appearence of this guys should be random. So u WONT expect them every night or any particular night. That'll make this guys so danger.
Ok, next. Bugs. Many many small bugs in ravvines, caves and etc (if there will be tombs generated - that'll be awesome). They will try to eat you. I dunno what should scare them out, maybe fire or special liquid taked from squids (with ink sacks - u will need to use liquid on urself, then bugs wont hurt u for a small amount of time - btw there will be nice to make a "Effects Bar" - for different materials and potions and etc). (idea from "The Mummy")
Worms. Underground worms that will try to swallow u in any time u step on s special biome. Don't know should it be desert (like "Dune") with special "special sand that like ordinary but kinda not" or any other biome. Maybe some other things connected with danger on the ground.
Snakes or smthn on Swamp Biomes. In water or near water. It should like bit u, or just poison u.
Monster in disguise. I think there need to be a very truly scary monster in disguise. Or even several such monsters with different disguises.
-Like u see tree - and part of a leaves is not leaves - yeah, it will catch u and try to eat u.
-U see a sheep\pig\cow - and it's not. U come near it - it transform and tries to eat u. Maybe it should be even a such plant - that it leaves in a proper stand will be seen as an animal. And it bites u when u try to come near.
-"That's not a chest" - oh that's kinda a magical creature in disguise. Try to open this chest - and it bites u. But what a wonderful sound of a shitting bricks :biggrin.gif:
-"That's not door, I didn't see it earlier, man..." - creature that looks like a bunch of blocks - and making u see a door. U open it - and u will be swallowed. Like in ravvine - u walk, then turn back - see a NEW door - and everything is ordinary. Through that door u see like chests and bench - so u kinda want to enter this room. But that's just an illusion.
-Person in disguise - it is strongly recommended that creature to have a random nickname above head for a true scary ****. It kinda follow u, maybe even writes something in a chat (I think chat and a nickname should be active on SMP, while on SSP this guy should be seen as a normal NPC). It even helps u to kill monsters and so on. (maybe there should be friendly npc that will travel with u - it'd be nice them to be, cause this monster will not be easy to recognize then). And after a while - this guy, this monster in disguise - let's call it a "Human Worm" - he will try to eat u.
When u will trust him and go to sleep. Or when you will digh another mine and it will suddenly break all torches and try to swallow u.
Or just if players will kill every NPC - this Human Worm should appear like neutral mob. Like a dog, or a sheep.
So u think "hah sheep in a cave another bug spawning NPC" and then it'll be like WTF OH SHI~
-Random animal following u. It's kinda tricky devil monster. It wont hurt u. But it will bring bad, bad luck. If u kill it. And in such a danger world u definetely will kill it (it stops following u if u will drop for it something precious - like Ender Pearl or something very rare). After u kill it, suddenly blocks will dissapear from under you, suddenly monster will appear in your house, or there will appear LAVA upon you in a cave - so u'll need to react and hide.
This occasions must not be very rare, but not very often. Just randomly. This сurse shpuld last a few days.
----
Silent and slow threat. It will look like ordinary plants. Maybe grass. Maybe melons. In some time it will be growing so fast and so many - it will crush ur buildings, grow in ur room, on ur kitchen (lol) and somewhere else. U will need to find main plant - it need to be big and kinda dangerous (dunno bites or throwing bugs at u) to kill. (idea of such plants taken from "Space Colony" game)
So that's it. For now. Maybe I'll have much more ideas in near future. Will be glad to get comments on this ideas :smile.gif:
