Greetings fellow crafters! This is Gethron, with another brilliant idea. There are many ideas out there to increase mob difficulty, but they usually have one problem, a player who had just started could easily be overwhelmed by absurdly powerful enemies. This is why I am proposing a new time system.
The new time system would have weeks, and possibly months and seasons. At the end of every week mobs would get a little bit stronger, up to a point, probably 10-16 weeks. Some mobs might get more HP or damage, some might get more speed, creepers might get a bigger blast, and sometimes a mob might even get a new feature, e.g. week 8: zombies pierce armor.
Another feature of weeks could be different spawn rates on different nights, for instance, more creepers on Mondays, because everybody hates Mondays, or fewer everyhing on sundays, to give you some peace, also if no mobs spawned on Sundays, it would make for a smooth transition into stronger mobs. A feature that would make sense with this system would be the much asked for zombie siege\ horde\ general night of extreme terror. This would happen on saturday night, possibly once every two weeks, giving it a nice regularity, and making Sunday all the more relaxing. Seasons would change every Minecraft month, and would affect the temperature, meaning which biomes could have ice and snow, the amount of precipitation recieved, the rate at which plants grew, and possibly the rate at which fire spread. It might also have various visual effects, like golden leaves in fall.
But Gethron, how I am supposed to know what time of the week it is? Well mr. doesn't-read-the-title-of-the-post-he's-reading, maybe you should have read the title of the post. You would be able to make a calendar. The calendar would tell you which day of the week it was, the number of the week, that week's weather (just a possibility, would work well with improved weather) , and the month. The crafting recipe would be: :Flint and Steel:
Where wheat is paper, and the Flint and Steel is a clock, basically a map, but with a clock.
You would be able to hang it on walls for a convenient way to check the date.
That is it for the suggestion. Please fell free to comment and suggest mob abilities. the mob ability Idea will posted here.
Mob abilities:
Zombies pierce armor-week 12 (Gethron)
Zombies have guaranteed leather armor- week 6 (Gethron)
Zombies start breaking doors-week 4 (Gethron)
Endermen throw blocks at you-week 4
Endermen throw Zombies at you-week 12
Skeleton arrows have knock back enchantment-week 8
Skeletons walk backwards away from you -week 6
Spiders make webs-week 8
10% of spiders have jockeys-week 12
Medium and up slimed can engulf you, preventing movement
How about creepers don't blow up on Fridays, but they have a zombie-strength melee attack instead. Also, creepers should learn how to activate buttons and levers at week 10.

Why does everyone think I don't have an avatar? Is there anyone who can see the one black pixel.
Please click the dragons, they need to grow. Also, my fully grown dragons can be found in my bio.

Week 12: Zombies learn to run faster
Week 14: Creepers only explode if you're very close to them
Week 15: All hostile mobs do +2 hearts of damage
Week 10: Skeletons get more accurate hits

Someone add onto this please, I'm going to bed!
The zombie thiong might work, but creepers not blowing up until they touch you would make them weaker, and the skellie thing would be hard to implement.

Textnummbers 22 when I wrote this, I don't think there were moon phases, and I think days of the week would keep things flowing, and be easier to remember.

It's an attempt to reconcile the people who want more difficulty, with the people who just started a world, and don't want to be overrun by creepers.

It doesn't increase forever, just up to a certain point.
