There is a mod called in-game NBT edit and on that thread there is a tutorial on how to make a custom mob which has a nametag and drops items when it is in full armour (google in-game NBT edit)

Hey! Guess what! I'll let you in on a little secret.

See, there's this fascinating thing called "Survival Mode". It was actually aded into the game back in... Oh, it was in since the beginning. Anyways, the first CTM map was created in Minecraft Beta 1.4 (I believe), at least two years after the game had been released.

Well, now I'll blow your mind. This "Survival Mode" is actually the main mode of Minecraft! The mode most people play! In fact, I distinctly remember a while back, people whining about how easy it was... in fact, that was what lead to the creation of CTM maps! So, now that this "Survival Mode" is being made more difficult (And don't you forget that the Mojang team is mostly updating the game with Vanilla in mind, not entirely but mostly), it's affecting CTM maps, which are in fact addons to this "Survival Mode".

/endsarcasm

Please people. Have some sense. Sure, Dinnerbone and other Mojang employees are at least mildly involved with the CTM community. However, that DOES NOT mean that all Minecraft development is now in favor of CTM maps. Any updates made to increase difficulty are because people started crying about the Vanilla game being easy. I'm not saying there shouldn't at least be some way to disable the new difficulty increases (I would personally love that), but please don't feel overly entitled to have the game balanced for custom maps.

Also, witches are overrated. They're short-medium range enemies that can either hit you with damage, poison you, or slow you, assuming you get close enough. They can make themselves fire-proof and heal themselves. However, at a range, you can easily shoot them down. And even in close range they're easy enough to overwhelm with sheer power. The Protection Enchant protects you from Poison and Damage, and Speed Potions can easily balance out the Slowness. If you have them, Strength Potions make it even easier to destroy them. I don't really understand why Witches are suddenly the new threat, when squids are clearly the most OP thing since the Spread Gun.

Look, this rant had to be made. Most of it's probably just going to anger people, but it just had to be said. Minecraft is not only CTM. Otherwise it'd be called CTM-Craft, which it's not.

EDIT: Community Question Time!

How do you guys feel about using macros while playing maps? Examples of a macro: a button that you can tap to automatically switch to your torch slot, place a torch, and switch back to your main weapon, or a button that acts as a perfectly-timed bow-shot spammer (holding the left mouse button down, releasing, and clicking again automatically.)

I'm asking this because I got a really nice mouse for my birthday a while back, and the customization software that you can download for the mouse (it has programable side-buttons) includes a custom macro creator. I was able to make the torch-placing macro really easily, and I'm sure other usable macros wouldn't be difficult to figure out.

So yeah, just wondering what you think about that.

Some points I should mention about my little idea above:1. Yes, it will be mandatory to play with at least 2 people 2. No, the map will not be just flipped using MCEdit. It will be like any other CTM map with a few quirks.3. The map will have to be quite large to compensate for the amount of people playing it.With that said, I think the map MAY have to be about twice the size of a regular map (Don't quote me on that), though it depends on how many objectives are planned for it.

yes, I read the spoiler.

Here's a better question then (Hopefully I'm not breaking down any other discussions, though if I am I apologize again): Would people be interested in a map that involves cooperation as a key element to complete the map? Ex: Both "teams" must get to a certain point in the map to progress further. (This would most likely focus on the gameplay mechanics of speed and cooperation.)

What would you suggest I change the bedrock/quartz to?

Too many different kinds of blocks.

OK, guys. I'm starting a map, how should I create my first area? I have a totally blank world, all air. I'm not looking for a comprehensive guide, just something simple like, a big bedrock box. Thanks a lot! More specifically, I'm looking for an easy way to create good terrain that isn't obvious brush strokes. I'm also considering using VoxelSniper, but I don't know how to run a Bukkit server. Thanks for any advice!

Quote from Zookid

An interesting question. I've never tried this... If I were to guess without testing it, I'd say it must have something to do with the current duration, though I can't be sure. For all we know it could corrupt the world. I'll test this later with different potion durations.
Now, while taking a break from building my first CTM map, I began building a Minecraft Museum. While making a mob section, I had to make statues of the 4 largest mobs, the Enderdragon, ghast, Wither, and giant because they are to large to contain. Is there any way I could immobilize them instead? I made a potion that does it, but it only works on flightless mobs.
