Hello, my IGN is DrShaba and I have some things I would like to say about this game.
I've been playing Minecraft ever since Alpha came out. I loved the idea of it. You can literally make your own world and build amazing things for everybody to see. I still love that part of the game, but there is just one problem. Single player really just isn't fun anymore.
I know there are already bosses like the Wither and the Ender Dragon, but I would really like to see more. Whenever I get the idea to start up another single player I'm thinking about all the fun stuff there is to do in Minecraft like building a sweet house, killing the Wither, making some Opples (Golden Apples), or killing the Ender Dragon. But then about half way through to making it to the end I always think to myself, "Why am I doing this? It's just the same thing over again."
I'm sure a lot of you have heard of the game Terraria. I don't fancy that game very much because it is 2D and not to my liking. But the one thing that makes me want to get it is my friends talking in the Skype call while they are fighting these awesome bosses. There are so much bosses in that game and they sound like they are having a great time. I just want to fight bosses like them, but in Minecraft.
I think boss fighting in Minecraft would make the game a lot more exciting. I love to build awesome houses still but the thrill of fighting multiple bosses and having an ACTUAL challenge just seems great to me. The Wither and the Ender dragon are not much of a challenge to anybody. I see that Mojang tried to make the Wither a little harder by giving it a bow stage and a melee stage, but it is still not even a challenge to the common gamer.
I don't want the items/armor enchantments to get nerfed, or weakened, but I want the (new) bosses to get a buff.
There are a lot of other things that could be added along with the new bosses. Just think of the possibilities. There could be some combat adjustments for each individual boss to make them harder or make the player have to think about what the best way to go about killing the boss would be. There could also be more items added to the game that could give the player an advantage. Maybe even an ability. From the Ender Dragon, you get an Egg. From the Wither, you get a nether star and use that to make a beacon. I love the idea of both of those and that same concept could be used for other bosses. They pretty much act as a token of victory.
The point of this thread is to raise awareness to the staff at Mojang that us players need some more thrill in the game. My dream in Minecraft is to have a giant mansion that I share with my friends, and a trophy room of the hundreds of bosses that I have slain.
Thanks for reading my thread, I hope you agree with my opinions.
Can we get to an actual suggestion. I can trim this whole post down to "I want more bosses in Minecraft like Terraria. I like the trophies." Besides, having more bosses are what mods are for. Mojang won't suddenly add dozens of bosses. Minecraft mainly consists of building and not a lot of fighting. You should also consider that some people aren't into fighting bosses and would rather do something else to get what they want.

I'm sorry that is the way you feel. They added a whole new game mode that I'm sure you are familiar with called hardcore. So obviously they had realized that some people like the fighting part of the game. Also, that trim makes you sound like a major d*** because that is not all this post is about. I also don't like the idea of having to download unprofessional mods to fight more bosses. If they can make multiple game modes then they can have one for you specifically called "*****" I'm sure you would like to play that one, and as for us player that DO like to fight, ever considered that? they could have a game mode called "Real Men" or something along those lines.

First of all, you don't need to sound like a jerk and use offensive language, you think you're cool? Secondly, you never gave an actual suggestion. No detail whatsoever. Like what boss should we have or how can we make Minecraft harder. Be specific. Some people like fighting and some people don't. The actual mechanics of a new boss won't be very different than the ones of a good mod.

You're right, I could be more specific about what I would like to see, but I do believe that a gave multiple suggestions. As for me being a jerk, you sounded like a jerk yourself when I took my time to think about this post and then you just shoot it down like it is nothing. You're right, some people don't like fighting and some do, these are my suggestions for the people that do like fighting. Sorry about the offensive language but I do think the Mojang staff could make better bosses than good mods, and I hate to reset my Minecraft every time I don't want a mod anymore. I think it would just be easier for the bosses to actual be added to basic Minecraft.
Also, Minecraft is not Terraria. Minecraft and Terraria revolve around different ideas. Furthermore, bosses are not things that you can escape from with a gamemode. Bosses become integral parts of the game; indeed, many bosses in Terraria only work due to the 2D nature of the game and when such bosses are translated into 3D, they become boring, repetitive and overly simple.
I do not think bosses are worthwhile in Minecraft. In fact, I am opposed to all bosses. There are many other things in Minecraft to do and explore. Bosses do not fit the general original theme of the game personally.

I love the concept,but since minecraft is limited to a set of weapons and armors. It can't have exciting boss fights. Most RPG's like Terraria,WoW,Runescape,etc. Have various of weapons and armors. But since they said there won't be any more tiers. You can't just have good combat.
