When i first heard horses were going to be part of minecraft i really liked the idea but then the snapshot came out. Horses are really complex compared with the other vanilla mobs: too many breeds and abilities, a really detailed model (with knees, the first mob with knees), a saddle of their own (what´s the difference between a horse saddle and a pig saddle), mules and donkeys, and I think the baby horses aren´t just a small body and a big head like other mobs.
The problem is that the horse wasn´t a Mojang idea, it was Dr. Zhark´s idea

one day i found minecraft pocket edition and download it, then i discovered there was a pc version with more features than the ipod version. I started to search for info in the wiki, at first i thought some features were stupid like the brewing system or the end, but finally i bought it in august 2012 i played it every day since then.

1.- Redstone Comparator
Recipe: It's like the Repeater, but with quartz instead of a redstone dust, and another redstone torch above it.
Description: When input A is greater or equal to input B, it outputs a signal with same power as input A

2.- Redstone Block
Recipe: 9 pieces of redtone dust (the same as the other mineral blocks)
Description: Works as a redstone torch that can be moved by pistons

3.- Weighted Pressure Plate (Light)
Recipe: 2 gold ingots placed horizontally
Description: Placing an item on it will make it output a signal with a strength of 1 block, for every 4 items placed, the signal strength will be 1 block higher.

4.- Weighted Pressure Plate (Heavy)
Recipe: 2 iron ingots placed horizontally
Description: Placing an item on it will make it output a signal with a strength of 1 block, for every stack of items placed, the signal strength will be 1 bock higher

5.- Trapped Chest
Recipe: Trying to find it
Description: Don´t know, but when is open it will output a signal with a strength of 1 block

6.- Daylight Sensor
Recipe: Trying to find it
Description: It will output a signal with a strength depending of how much daylight is receiving

7.- Hopper
Recipe: trying to find it
Description: If you place a chest under it, it will transfer the items it have to that chest, if you place a chest above it, it will transfer the items in that chest to the chest under i

8.- Nether Brick (Item)
Recipe: Smelt a block of netherrack in a furnace
Description: Used to craft Nether Brick Blocks

9.- Nether Quartz Ore
Recipe: Naturally generated in the Nether
Description: You can mine it with every pickaxe to obtain Nether Quartz

10.- Nether Quartz (item)
Recipe: Mine the Nether Quartz Ore
Description: Dont know, I think is used to craft the daylight sensor and the comparator

The 1.4 updates have added many features that help custom map makers to have a better control of their maps without mods or 3rd party editors, like the command block or the /enchant command.... But it isn´t enough to make custom maps like you want them. So I made this thread to post ideas on how to implement more adventure features that really fit into minecraft.

Note: I took many of the features of the Herobrine Mansion map and the SPC mod

1.- Custom mob spawners: Add a new category to the creative menu with all the spawner types.

2.- Block placing/destroying control: Adventure mode let the players destroy blocks with the correct tool, but there are map makers that don´t want the players destroying blocks, not even with the correct tools, so I think a gamerule like this: /gamerule doBlockDestroying (false/true)

3.- Crafting control: Add a command that can lock crafting recipes from using like: /lock (item/block ID)

4.- Custom potions: Add a command: /potion (potion ID) (time in game ticks) or let the anvil combine two potions

5.- Custom enchantments: The /enchant command is great but after playing the Herobrine Mansion map I really want to have an Unbreaking X sword, so add more enchantments levels

6.- Mob spawning/despawning control: Add a gamerule: /gamerule doMobDespawning (true/false)

7.- Custom trade offers: Add a Green Villager Egg in creative. When you click the villager in creative, a gui similar to the villager's one will open, but the merchandise and currency slots would be empty so you can place items and blocks there

8.- Environment control: Add a gamerule: /gamerule doWeatherChange (true/false) and then select the weather or time you want, if the gamerule is set to false the world will stay at that weather/time

9.- GUI control: Add a button in the left corner of all GUI's that has an open padlock, if you click it it will change to a closed padlock and the gui will become locked in survival/adventure


This are my ideas, if you have others or disagree/agree with this ones post a comment

Good Morning MineCrafters! Welcome to Day... 1625+ of the suggestion
(Name Changed From: OFFICIAL GOLD GOLEM THREAD)

Quote from Sacheverell

.Surprisingly solid idea you have there. Not sure how much work it would be for Mojang to program it, but definitely interesting.

--------------------START-HERE--------------------

When I found a pyramid it was just too easy to get my 11 gold, 2 emeralds, 3 diamonds, 12 iron, and 9 TNT. there needs to be something more to protect it. Such as "Desert Guardians" AKA "Gold Golems".

Health Points
200 (x100) (Debatable)

Armor 4 ()

-Includes Boss Health Bar

-They do not: Take fall damage, Drown in Water or Burn in fire/Lava
-Slow healing factor so that you can't attack then wait a long time then attack again

-High resistance to ranged attacks
Attack Strength
Melee Strike:

Easy 4 () Medium 6 () Hard 8 ()
Charge Attack:

Easy 7 () Medium 9 () Hard 11 ()
Laser Attack:

Easy 4 ()+ Medium 6 ()+ Hard 9 ()+

(see info below)
Spawn
-In Desert Temples
-Only ONE Gold Golem will spawn in the temple

-If a Gold Guardian generated as part of a Pyramid is killed, another will NOT spawn to take its place.
-The Golem WILL spawn in peaceful, but will stay inactive.
Drops
(5-10)(Why Gold? Because Ancient Egypt used Gold Plating on it's statues))
(3-6)(Why Lapis? EXCELLENT QUESTION! The golem has blue glyphs on it and i like Lapis)

( 1 )( Mob Head. Trophy/Used to create Inanimate Statues) (more info below)

( 1 )("Power Core". An Item Used To Revive The Fallen Boss) (more info below)

(Not so strange to think about now-a-days since the dragon can be re-summoned with a single purpose item)
Experience
50 EXP
(Iron Golems Drop 0)

(Wither Drops 50)

(Dragon Drops 1,200)

Movement
Rather slow unless charging

(more info below)
Does not need to jump to move up 1 block

Behavior
-The golem will stand dormant in the Pyramid like a statue until a player gets within it's line of sight

(10 Blocks), then it will "Wake Up" and attack the player.
(It will also awake if any chests within a 20 block radius are interacted with. Eyes are dark while Inactive)

Once awake, it's awareness of the player will extend 32? blocks.
If the player manages to escape, the Gold Golem will give up the chase and go back to its spawn point (or if target is killed).

It moves slowly, but when it gets close (5-8 blocks Ish?), it will begin its attack pattern:
-Attempting to Melee the player three times, raising it's arms for a moment then brings them down, giving about half a second to react and move away.

-After that, Its jaw will drop, the Eyes Glow Red and it will charge the player, making a low Roar as it attacks. This sprint can only be stopped by a wall (of at LEAST 2m tall) OR if the golem has charged for a distance of 10 blocks, causing a sort of bull fighter effect.
(Anything weaker than blast resistance 30 EXCEPT for sandstone/sandstone variants will be broken on impact. stones/sandstone will show damage cracks but never break from impact.)
-Finally, After it has come to a stop, It will look at the player, after a few seconds will shoot a beam from its mouth in a horizontal line with the player in the midpoint, causing a sort of sweep attack from left to right. (This laser will be able to break the same blockset as the charge attack, igniting any Mob/Player in its path as well as any blocks it comes in contact with. The point of this is to clear out possible barricades the player has built around it, or used to hide.)
-If the player cannot be reached for Melee attacks (Like, being stuck in a hole or a small doorway) The Golem will go strait to using its Charge (To break a wall that's possibly blocking it), Then continue with the Laser.

Gold Golems do not attack random monsters because random monsters don't want to steal treasure. A Gold Golem's primary purpose is to defend Pyramids from raiding players

(But using one as a guard in your prison/gladiatorial battle/boss for your dungeon, is also GREAT!)
(And Because they only target players they cant be used to make mob grinders to get items easier.)

WHY ATTACK PLAYERS?:
Gold Guardians are meant to protect Pyramids from THIEVES (Players) As Iron Golems protect Villagers from zombies.

(And YES, Players are thieving from the pyramid, there is no way to sugar coat it. You tomb raiding player you......)

The Guardian Can NOT Be Tamed!
(The Purpose of the Golem is to attack players. NOT RANDOM MONSTERS! If you want that then make IronGolems. Not Going To Debate It.)

Crafting A Statue/Reviving the Boss.

To craft An Inanimate statue place the dropped boss's head onto a T of gold blocks.

To revive, use the "Power Core" on the statue to bring it back to life with a mighty roar and a short "Boot up" time

If you have been to one of these temples. you will see THIS BLOCK all over. It is the reason for the creeper faces and the Lapis bands. There ya have it.

I will not make a poll. This thread has had a number of polls, each having up to a thousand "yes" votes, so I don't find much of a reason to make one.

I think what a lot of people failed to realize was that some of these features the community has begged to see. Rabbits, Armor Stands, Banners, new stones, better villagers, a use for Lapis, and a female based player model, all highly requested. Not everything caters to everyone, but every feature in the game has a use to at least one person. And one thing I'd like to hope stop the argument over, Bibliocraft didn't invent the armor stand. They didn't copyright it. Armor stands are real life items, so I don't see how they could have "ripped off Bibliocraft"

They also overhauled tons of code, which is why the update took a while. They had to update the ID's of blocks and how they are coded if I am not mistaken. They also spent a lot of time preparing name changing and the new skin format, as well as the new player model, and also working on some things for the API. They added new commands for the map makers, and even a new mode entirely. They even did Optimizations to improve performance in-game. Example:

They also fixed a lot of bugs, which is a great thing. Mojang takes a long time to rewrite code or add new things. Being a developer isn't easy. People should really appreciate the new features instead of wining and complaining. But it is true, you can't please everyone.

Quote from Iron_M

This bug exists since the implementation of villages.

And yes, it happens just because the bottom of the ocean is flat enough

No, village generation has absolutely nothing to do with how flat the terrain is; you can get villages on mountains in Amplified, the code only looks at the biome, normally plains, savannah, or desert, which just happen to be flatter than most biomes (a big reason why villages only generate in those biomes) when deciding if the spot is valid for a village to generate in (villages can be found in the same locations in Superflat and default worlds as long as the biome is valid).

Ad yes, I have the actual code so I know that there is nothing at all where the game looks to see how flat the land is, which isn't even possible actually because villages start generating as soon as the first chunks containing one generate, before the rest do (you can find half-generated villages at the edge of a world in a map viewer), so the game can't know what the ungenerated chunks look like. This also explains villages on top of ravines, caves, in lakes, merged with temples (even mineshafts in Superflat worlds), and so on; the game just places most features down with no regard to what is already there (a few, like trees, only generate on certain blocks, but the game has no problem generating a lake under a tree, leaving it floating, or a sand patch under it, leaving it on sand).

I'm betting the OP experienced a "biome replacement" chunk error where the incorrect biome was used in a chunk that otherwise looks like ocean; I had one myself in one of my worlds, a jungle in the middle of a (cold) taiga, with only the biome and trees being incorrect (as opposed to a chunk error where a completely different chunk was put in; terrain, caves, and a mineshaft matched surrounding chunks). The presence of horses supports this because horses can't spawn in ocean biomes and it is unlikely that the game glitched out and put both in an invalid biome, oceans can't spawn any passive mobs. Or perhaps they messed around with the customized world settings (raise sea level = underwater plains).

Also, somebody mentioned villages in the water world Superflat preset; that's because the biome is plains, not ocean and they ignore the presence of water (unlike strongholds; if you add strongholds to the water world preset the End portal room is all that generates because it is the only part that overwrites liquids, or in the case of open air, completely overwrites air, otherwise the walls only replace solid blocks, hence why caves cut through them despite being generated first).

ATTENTION TO SUPPORTERS: Please support us on Reddit. This may be our best chance of getting Mojang to notice Gryphons and have them added. Please click here, upvote, comment and help us get an active discussion going: http://www.reddit.co..._survival_mode/

(See below for more concept art. Above screenshot is photoshopped, not a mod. All art by Papertiger)

DISCLAIMER: Please note that this is not a mod, nor a mod suggestion. This is a suggestion for Mojang to add to vanilla Minecraft.


Hello! I would like to share my ideas of how Gryphons might be a good addition to Minecraft. After deciding to post my suggestion here, I did a search and saw that there have been a few posts about Gryphons throughout the past few years. But they were quite different from what i had in mind, focused on a wide swath of mythical creatures, or mod/add-on related.

My hope is that others will share my vision for simple, balanced, non-immersion-breaking, Mojang-style Gryphons to be added to Minecraft in a future patch.

Here it goes:

A way I could see Gryphons fitting into the Minecraft universe is that in an "Extreme Hills" biome, you could find a nest either on top of a mountain, or on the side of a cliff. I imagine the nest would only be one or perhaps two blocks large and in the shape of an eagle's nest. In my opinion, the player would never see a wild adult Gryphon. The only chance they would have at seeing a Gryphon would be if they raised one themselves. Thus making them FAR more rare and special. Almost like finding diamonds. If the player were lucky enough to find one of these nests, and endured the journey to reach it, they would see an egg sitting in the middle of the nest.

The player would then follow these steps to hatch, raise, saddle and then ride their Gryphon:

1. The player would take the egg from the nest and bring it back to their home/cave/castle/dwelling and place it on a block of dirt underneath a torch.
2. The player would then have to wait a couple of in-game days.
3. After a few days pass, a baby Gryphon would emerge.
4. The player would then have to feed the baby Gryphon meat or fish once a day for a couple days.
5. After a couple days of feeding, the baby Gryphon would grow into an adult, ready to be saddled.
6. The player would then place a regular saddle, the type used on pigs, onto their newly raised Gryphon.
7. Upon being saddled, the player's new Gryphon is ready to be mounted. But that doesn't mean the player can have unlimited, overpowered flight. No sir.

BALANCE:
Just because the player has a Gryphon doesn't mean he or she is able to fly anywhere they want with no limitations. Far from it. This will be nothing like flying in creative mode. It will be a slight advantage over regular walking and jumping that the player will have earned.

• Instead of unlimited flight, like in creative mode, a Gryphon rider's flight would be slightly challenging yet still useful. Much like how boats function in Minecraft.
• In order to take off, and to stay in the air, the player would have to press their space bar for every flap of their Gryphon's wings. This means that the Gryphon, just like the player, is effected by the game's gravity. That way, it wouldn't feel like cheating. This may sounds difficult, but i think it would lead to a much more immersive Gryphon flying experience!
• Traveling via Gryphon would sometimes be slightly faster and more convenient than walking on foot, but in some cases it would also be a FAR worse alternative to walking. For example, trying to fly your Gryphon down into and through a cave would be a TERRIBLE idea.

USES:
If you have built a giant castle like my brother and I have, which i'm sure MANY of you have, then I have a feeling you'll understand why I think the best use for a Gryphon would be to quickly reach one of the top floors of your castle without having to climb all of it's inner stair cases and ramps.

But there would be many, many more uses, such as:

• Getting past mountains a little faster than on foot, and without the need to eat as much.
• Flying over lakes or rivers instead of having to swim.
• Safe late night traveling. That is, unless you get shot by a skeleton's arrow
• Being able to leave from the top floor of your castle or other large dwelling.
• FUN! Or atleast i think it would be.

GAME FITTING:
The last thing I would ever want is to suggest an idea that would ruin the immersion of Minecraft. I believe this idea would be game fitting for Minecraft because of the wonderful animals Mojang has already put into the game. When I think of Gryphons in Minecraft, I can just picture an in-game Gryphon done in Mojang's wonderfully simple yet beautiful art style... All block-ish and colorful

GAME BREAKING?:
No more than a boat would be. You would hardly be able to aim at someone with a bow, let alone actually hit them with an arrow from it. Hitting a player or mob with a sword would be even harder. In order to deal damage to anything, from bow or sword, you'd have to land your Gryphon and completely stop moving. At that point, you would actually become vulnerable due to lack of mobility (You cannot walk or run on a Gryphon, only fly. And take-off isn't instant, due to the need to flap your Gryphons wings.). This is not a mount intended for combat.

Thanks for reading and sorry for the giant wall of text.

I would like to thank Theriasis for their wonderful guide on how to post on the suggestion forum. I tried my best to follow their advice!
