So, I was thinking one day, while working on an adventure map, that there aren't enough mobs in Minecraft, and there aren't any awesome hostile mobs that would have a 100% chance to drop one certain item, but then I thought, "What if you could make custom mobs in vanilla Minecraft?" I knew that would be pretty hard, but then more recently, I found a way to universally pull this feat off.Here's how:The data file would be written up on a file called "mobname.mob" with mobname being replaced by the mob's name. It would be saved in .minecraft/saves and look like this:
"id":"""name":"""hp":"""drop1":"""drop1%":"""drop1a":"""status":"""fly":"""swim":"""walk":"""model":"[url=""]""burn":"""fireresist":"""walkspeed":"""damage":"""explode":"yes or no, whether it explodes on death""fireball":"yes or no, whether it shoots ghast fireballs>""xp":"<#>"
Replace anything inside greater than less than signs with their variables.Also you can add more drops between drop1a and status, but it must have drop#% and drop#a. It should be limited to 16 drops, and will always drop the same amount of stuff. (2 porkchops, always 2 porkchops).The game would probably crash if you were to put in an already used ID.Custom mobs should NOT be tameable!They would then be editted into the game with spawners and other things with a third party program.Here are some other custom things that could be done:
Swords
Custom Swords could be saved in the saves file with the name "swordname.srd" with swordname being replaced by the sword's name.The file would look like this:
Now, also, don't accuse me of wishlisting. I've been accused before be others who have no life. This is not a wishlist, as this all goes hand in hand.[/url]
EDIT: I do use MCEdit. It doesn't allow custom HP or custom proporties such as flight or walking speed. Also, I do use filters, quite often. So, please, no negative comments.
I so agree. I think custom items and weapons and mobs would be an explosion of creativity. I think this menu would be in the main menu, under texture packs and custom features
I also think that you should be able to have custom blocks, be able to take the model of a block and change it's color, and make a custom ore that has a drop. These would all just take models and looks of existing blocks and ores, but with a colour change.
I know that's way too optimistic and hopeful and naive, but I've been wanting a simple way to customize features for a long time.

Try... UMm.... NBTEdit. Hypixel managed to give his mobs custom HP.
