As we all know, NPC's naturally just walk around, and react to NOTHING, even if a Creeper explodes right in our faces, a pig will just turn away and do NOTHING. I think animals and other NPC's should react to these kind of things.
Getting back on track, it's stupid for these stupid animals walking around doing nothing in reaction to you, so how about men and warriors? These are a special mob that walk around aimlessly in any random biome. When night falls, hostile mobs will attack this warrior/man and they will fight back, although the men won't do much damage as they wield nothing, the warriors should be wielding a sword/bow, giving the warriors more chance to survive. Men/warriors will retreat and run the opposite direction, jumping madly, away from any Creeper or Endermen that are 7 blocks away from them.
Also, both men and warriors will run about insanely if there is an explosion or you are being attacked by a skeleton/zombie.
Their behaviour
So, heres the main concept of these mobs. If you give the men any item of any kind of golden or wooden or stone or iron tool to them (by right-clicking them with the tool in your hand), they will make a smile and start following you, and attack anything that harms you or they will attack anything that you harm (apart from Creepers and Endermen, if they DO come in 7 blocks of range with an Endermen or a Creeper, they will instantly run away from you and the Creeper and Endermen). Note: Men will not accept diamond tools, only warriors will (see below).
Warriors are slightly different, as warriors attack anything that go to close to it, so giving it tools from a short range will be a challenge (and they kill all hostile mobs within 20 blocks of range), and they will only accept diamond tools. If you give them a tool of any other tool that is not diamond, they will attack you. If they DO become allies with you, they will follow you and attack anything that is hostile that is 25 blocks away from you.
Other behaviour
Also, if you attack a men or warrior with any tool two times, they will attack you. If you kill one warrior, all warriors 50 blocks within range will attempt to hunt you down. Warriors will only spawn on stone or sand in a light level of 8 and above, and men will spawn on grass or stone or sand in a light level of 10 or above. Also, if you don't wait to be allies with a man anymore, you just have to hit them, and they will completely reset and act as if they never met you. Warriors are different, though. If you don't want to be allies with a warrior anymore, you have to kill them, and they will fight back. They will drop the tool that you gave them if you kill them and you had allied with them. But men will only drop a stone pickaxe.
I really hope this idea is supported by many, as I worked really hard in this.
I hope you liked my idea. Say bye to Mr. Creeper :3
NOTE: I SAID THESE SHOULD BE A NEW MOB, NOT VILLAGERS!
I'm not for villagers fighting because there village would get desecrated by creepers.
They run away from creepers until they're far away from them. It's like how you would react. Just epicly killing zombies, spiders and skeletons, and then OH MY GOSH, A CREEPER! Then you run around in circles hoping to find your home :biggrin.gif:
Pretty nice ideas but... you have to remember that minecraft is still in BETA and of course notch will do much more with his npcs
