I've always wanted to see birds in minecraft. Now with snow golems implemented, perhaps you could make a scarecrow too?
BIRDS:
-Passive, able to kill with one punch.
-Spawn at least 20 blocks above grass.
-Fly aimlessly, occasionally land and peck at the ground. Roost in trees at night.
-Will eat crops if they can reach them.
-Lure them with seeds in your hand.
-Drop seeds, melon seeds, or pumpkin seeds.
To protect your crops, you will need a scarecrow!
SCARECROW:
-Crafted by placing two fence pieces on top of eachother and a jack-o-lantern on top.
-Do not move from the spot they're crafted.
-Passive to all mobs except birds.
-Will throw rocks at any birds that come within 15 blocks of it. Rocks kill birds and cannot be collected by the player.
The purpose of birds is more for atmosphere than anything. They could come in a variety of colors depending on the biome they spawn in. :smile.gif:
I'd like to see birds in the game too, in fact I even suggested a mod for falconry that I'd love to see implemented.
I also thought of a scarecrow but didn't suggest it. Personally I'd prefer it if the scarecrow didn't move, if it were just an ornament that you stuck in your field rather than it moving around. Firstly if you have it moving around it will wonder off from your field and not actually protect anything, and also if it walked around it would likely trample your crops anyway. Better to make it just an object that prevented animals coming close to it imo.
Also, a small point - perhaps a leather chestpiece would be better as the recepie rather than just a pole. May look a little more reallistic, and you could use your old beaten up armour rather than just throwing it away^^
Just my opinions tho, and I like the idea in general :smile.gif:
I mentioned that the scarecrow would not move. :smile.gif: That would just be annoying lol. It's stuck in the ground, but it's still "alive" like the snow golem, so it has enough will to shoot at birds on its own. And I LOVE the idea of a chestplate, that's much better! And it finally puts a better use to leather armor.
