Actually, the Goblins would have a reputation system, where they can be good or bad depending on what you do.

Hmm. This might be a good idea, but I can also see it being abused quite easily.

I did, which Is why I desribed stationary blocks, like the floating-obsidian thing Notch mentioned, floating upwards sorta like sand.

You need water, but other than that it seems like a good idea, if not heavily redundant.

Well of course, that almost goes without saying. Might make floating castles a bit hard to do, though. The potential for griefers is huge...

I want to pin mobs to walls. I approve of this idea.

Yes. There have been a lot of suggestions for airships and balloons, so here's my thoughts for how such a thing would work, in terms of gas and balloons.

There would be two types of balloons, Gas and Hot Air.

The balloons would be simple items, probably crafted from cloth:

When placed, they would be flat and fall down, but would inflate when exposed to gas or hot air, and begin to float upwards with force.

Obviously, hot air is created with fire. This would probably be a specialized burner brick (though I imagine using fire or lava seperately would be good for creative purposes), which must be kept stocked with wood, coal, or even a bucket of lava. Only one balloon block would have to be above the fire, and any connected block would also be inflated. They would slowly deinflate after the fire is shut off (with redstone and/or levers) allowing the balloon/spectacular floating city to descend.

Gas would be harder to get, toxic and/or explosive, but would provide more lifting force. I guess it would be formed by water and some mineral, maybe sulphur or something. When created, it would float up and partially inflate any touching balloon blocks, until they are fully inflated

The balloons could be used to create floating buildings and whatnot (think Columbia), similar to how Notch said obsidian might be used. It could also be used to create independently floating airships and hot air balloons, but sadly this would be limited to 16x16x16 areas.


Feedback and comments would be appreciated.

Yeah, I just learned that Notch actually mentioned having a zombie rush during a red moon somewhere, though he was referring to SMP.

Those two are actually the ideas I like most, though I also like the idea of baby creepers and spiders.

Taxidermy would be infinitely preferable. As in, you could either stuff their heads or their whole body with wool and put it in your castle somewhere.

Let's just leave it at swimming mobs, like sharks and giant squid.

I'm gonna bump this again. Would someone please reply? Or at least look at it?

I would love this. Having a light source that does not prevent monsters from spawning is PERFECT for me, as I want to create an SMP gladiatorial arena, and am faced with the problem of darkness being the only thing monsters spawn in, yet is also rather hard to see in.

This would be perfect for creating monster rooms.

Uh, wouldn't darkness make it to hard to see unless you have contrast or something up way too high? Plus, lanterns would still provide light, so your point is moot.

I think this is an awful idea, but I like Weylan6's idea.

Glass + Redstone dust + wood/iron = powerable magic lantern.

Don't overcomplicate your ideas when the rest of the game is so simple.

It... seems like a good idea. It seems wrong, but I can't put my finger on it. Hmm.

Isn't TNT supposed to be hard to make?
