So I had a pretty intersting Idea for a AI improvement. This is more befitting of something like the Invasion mod, but hear me out.
I was thinking that if there are a group of mobs in a relatively small area (Say, within a 5 block radius) then they would form a Raiding Party. This raiding party would attempt to gain access to chests and funaces within reach (Dungeons are Exempt). They would specifically target player-placed blocks and chests. If any creepers are in the group, the will locate the thinnest and weakest player-made walls and detonate on them. Then, Zombies and Skeletons would go over to any type of container and loot items/armor from them. Each mob would be restricted to carrying 1 item and 1 piece of armor. They will attempt to go for tools first, swords next, and misc. items later.
I feel that this mod would encourage stronger building materials, more fortifications, and a slightly more difficult way to play that is centered around monsters obtaining weapons. Please comment on whether or not you think that this is a viable mod option.
I think it would be a waste of time to add to the game, that being said i think this is one of the coolest ideas I have ever heard. It should be turned into a mod.
This is a really great idea, but like SirCatzOfLol said, it would take a very long to implement something fully like this into the game. I find the AI in Minecraft to be just kind of bland, all they really do is chase you or shoot at you. I think the "undead" mobs(such as zombies and skeletons) should remain brainless, while perhaps a new type of raider mob or something that can work with mobs, something to fight that isn't so much like an animal, something that uses tactic.

The thread is now here: http://www.minecraft...aiding-parties/
It adds a bit more detail to what I was saying.
