--More Nether Creatures!--

I need someone who will script this mod for me!

Why not? The nether only has two [boring] mobs, and three [boring] bricks. I think, since it is supposed to be...well, hell, it should have more! Seriously, the Ghasts and zombie pigmen are getting old. All I need to do is bring my bow and arrow, and completely avoid the pigmen.

Ok, so maybe the Ghasts are hard to take care of. But the nether is still pretty boring. Here's my ideas:

1. Creatures

Creatures! This is my high point of this; more creatures equals more interesting! Some good, some bad, and thankfully, some that spawn even in peaceful!

.-Demons-.

Demons; yep, you guessed it. These buggers are a bit like zombies, but yet different.

Behavior: Demons can be seen spawning in open areas, and spawn in lava often (as they are resistant to it.) They hold pitchforks, are red, dragon-like creatures with horns and a arrow-pointed tail. They will go along minding their business, killing souls if they see them (souls drop Netherglass, so seeing Netherglass bits will indicate a demon might be near) because demons are jerks. If they see the player, they will try and attack it, sometimes going through lava as it does not injure them. Once they see a player they wont let up until it or the player is dead, so they are a bit dangerous. It drops a bone and apple.

Damage and health: Health: (I'm using apples instead of hearts, since there is no hearts...) :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ):

Deals:1 1/2 hearts on easy, 2 1/2 on medium, and 3 on hard.

.-Souls-.

Souls! Souls are passive, quiet little creatures that will follow the player around sometimes. You can kill them for their precious Netherglass.

Behavior; Souls float around, sometimes following a player if one is spotted. They can be a bother since they make airy "Whooo" ghost noises, although in a sort of laid back way. Demons can be seen killing them for no apparent reason. Souls are transparent, and have creeper-like faces. They float above the ground a bit, and keep their arms out in front of them in a saggy way. They wander aimlessly around, moving through objects. You can kill them, and they drop 1-3 Netherglass shard, which 9 of can make a netherglass brick. They make a small screech sound if killed, and once killed, you can see a little version of a soul floating up and out of the nether, with a happier face on them. D'aw, you cant kill one of them without feeling bad, so I made killing them basically getting them out of their literal hellhole. When attacked they do not attack back, just sort of make another "whoo" and back up from the player.Souls are commonly found, unlike demons. They DO spawn on peaceful mode, seeing as they cause no harm.

Health and damage dealt: Health: :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ):

[no damage dealt]

.-Nether Hounds-.

Nether hounds. Yep, these are a lot like wolves but they get pissed easier and are more dangerous, plus they look cooler. And they dont push you into things.

Behavior: Nether Hounds spawn alone. They are a lot like wolves, but a bit larger, and have little white plates coming from their back (flat spikes) all the way down to their long, dragon-like tail. They are also black with red eyes. They spawn in open spaces, preferably away from demons. They dont spawn often, though, making them rare and difficult to get. Untamed Nether Hounds will get into brawls with demons (if off peaceful mode, in which demons will not spawn) These critters can be tamed, but attacking one will make it hostile, and it will attempt to kill you. Unless you have good armor, your pretty much doomed at this point. If you don't annoy them, you can tame them with bloody bones. It takes from 5-15 bloody bones, making it a hard beast to tame. Once tamed a red collar with appear on their neck, except studded with white pixels, each indicating a tooth. Tamed ones will not push into the user like normal wolves do, and also inherit the wolves sitting/standing stance. Everything else works in the same way it does with wolves, meaning they will attack what attacks you, and whatever you attack they attack. Harming tamed ones will make them growl and attack you once, then go back to their tamed state. They DO spawn in peaceful. They drop 1-4 porkchops when killed.

Damage dealt and health: Health(tamed): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ):

Health(wild): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ): :-( ):

Damage dealt: 2 hearts peaceful, 2 1/2 easy, 3 normal, 3 medium, and 3 1/2 hard

I smell items

Items! I mean...why not?

Netherglass

Netherglass is basically glass from nether. It has many good advantages against normal glass. Firstly, it is more clear, meaning it doesn't have those pesky little marks on it and is slightly more transparent. It is like bricks, explode proof, and with some redstone wiring, can glow a dark red color! This can add for some spooky lighting. Basically it takes 9 Netherglass dust to make one nether glass block, which really isn't that hard to get, judging how easy it is to find and kill/set free souls.

Bloody bones!

Bloody bones. This is used to tame hell hounds, or just make a bloody bone meal, which really has no effect different from normal bonemeal (except making the wheat it fertilizes red, eheheh, and red wheat makes red bread, which gives a heart more than normal bread). This is how to make 1 bone: (The stick is a bone and the raw porkchop is a raw porkchop :3)






It is stack-able.

Bloody bonemeal is just bloody bones and hwo you would usually make bonemeal.

Bloody wheat and bloody bread

Using bloody bonemeal on wheat will make it grow up AND turn into bloody wheat, which can be baked into bloody bread. Bloody bread gives a heart more than the usual bread, and its a cool red color.
