Minecraft Forums

Hello everyone!

It's been awhile since I've been on the Forums.



I wanted everyone to know that as of the recent improvements of Minecraft's Id coding, this suggestion is totally possible now!

Let's get Mojang's attention to this idea, perhaps we could get it for 1.8!

Thing thing I'm wondering is... Why haven't the added this yet? Oh yeah, because of how many textures they would have to make plus how many item IDs I think this will use. I'm still a little confused on how item IDs work but the main thing is just how long this would take with only a few texture artists who are doing their work on the stuff Mojang has been working on recently. Plus they jsut added 2 new kinds of wood so... Dear God at the textures they have to make...

They only have to make maybe around 8 textures. All other items are just remaps of the wood texture.

Here's a list of textures that would need to be made...

• Doors: 5 textures
• Trapdoors: 5 Textures
• Book Shelves: 5 Textures
• Chests: 5 Textures
• Crafting Tables: 5 Textures
• Trapped Chests: 5 Textures
• Total: 30 Textures

But to be honest, this isn't too hard for them. These are just recolors after all.

I know this is a bump, but we need some Redditors to start getting my Reddit topic running, because I no longer use MC Forums as my main source of suggestions.

I'm sorry to say that this is a leaving.
I've gotten sick of the over bias and overemotional responses to features added in every snapshot.
"OMG there's nothing but bug fixes in teh snapshot! MOJANG IS SOOO LAZY!"
"Iron farms are so ovapowered!" *irons farms get nerfed* "OMG WHY DID THEY FIX THE IRON FAWMS?!!"

I'm sick of it.
After joining the Reddit community, I've noticed much more reliability in opinions.
Good opinions get seen while bad ones fall to oblivion.

I still will update my Suggestion topics and respond to comments on them, but I will no longer be participating any other topics or posting anymore.

Goodbye, it's been fun.

I think this is a great idea but what's a situation in which you could use it?

Sudden item swaps in Mini-games and weird pvp systems?

10/10

Would rate this suggestion up again.

It's been a few months now guys. I don't think they're going to be re-added.

I guess i make exactly like the shades HD Mod. And Here What It Will Look Like:http://imgur.com/V3X4OpV I Do Not Know About The Flare Size. i Think of it soon and adjust the size=no

You realize, that's a shader, and shaders aren't graphically friendly.

Quote from Deonyi

That is irrelevant. Horses do not have a tame identifying mark other than their addons; wolves do not need them either.

It also gives some incentive to use leather (which is a bit of a useless item) so that you can identify which wolf is yours.

True.
Though I don't think I'll decide that its necessary to remove the current collars for my idea to be implemented.

Quote from Deonyi

Why not just remove the existing collar? Redundancy is not a good gameplay idea; it leads to confusion.

Because the existing collar is what identifies a wolf as a tamed wolf.
Its sitting position and hardly different texture are the only things that make it look different from a regular wolf.

Unless you mean just removing the current collar coloring system, which that is fine.

Not to mention, I added the medal/tag part of the collar so it would be different from a regular collar.

Quote from Icedog68

Idk about ocellots, maybe a seperate version for them, but other than tht FULL SUPPORT! WOOF!

A separate versions would be redundant.
They both wear collars and this is a collar.
I think the item should be called just a "collar" from now on.

No thanks. This doesn't sound very needed, nor very intuitive.
What would be nice would be a /gamespeed command with cheats.

Quote from RagnoRock987654321

A really good boost for Wolves I can say. Armour would be cool, but that is not for now. I support!

As cool as armor would sound, most armor in Minecraft, other than gold armor, has been placed at sort of a realistic standard.
Armour is never really used on dogs because
1. Not a lot of dogs would really bear the weight
2. It would slow down the dogs by a lot
3. It would most likely limit their ability to attack

Quote from carlpilot

Will a version for Ocelots also be available?

Other than that, this is a great idea!

The only problem is that ocelots can't attack, so the enchantments wouldn't be very useful, but sure.

A few updated ago (Although most have forgotten) we got dyeable collars for our dogs. Then, we recently got name tags so we can name our dogs. It can't get any better, can it?
Maybe...


Introducing... Collars.

Collars are a simple item crafted like so...



MECHANICS
Collars will be a new mechanic added to tamed wolves, aka dogs.

Once tamed, a dog will still have a collar like it does now, but if you shift + R Click on your dog a menu will come up, similar to a horse, where you can place a crafted collars.

Crafted collars are brown at basic, but can be dyed to current collar colors. On a dog, they will have a medal/tag unlike a normal collar.
But what exactly will be special about these collars?


ENCHANTING

Unlike a normal collar, which is just a small detail on your dogs, this collar can be enchanted.
All dogs are rather basic, and none are different from each other, but this would add some upgrades to your dogs. Unlike normal enchantments, the enchanting will be some what limited.
When placed on dogs, enchanted collars will appear with an enchanted glow like all armor does.

These collars will have 2 unique enchantments.

These are the enchantments.

Thorns: Obtained at levels 9 - 30. Only can get up to II.

All Types of Protection: Obtained at levels 1-30. Only can get up to II.

Fangs: Obtained at levels 9 - 30. Increases damage dealt by 1.50 points. Only can get up to III.

Speed:Obtained at levels 14 - 30. Increases speed by 20%. Only can get up to II.

RENAMING
The problem with name tags is that they're really hard to obtain. But if they were easy to obtain you could make as many entities undespawnable as you wanted. Collars can be renamed and placed on dogs to give them a name. Since they can only go on dogs, and since dogs can't despawn anyway, this would be no problem.

OCELOTS
Since cats don't really have collars like dogs, it would be nice to also use these collars on cats. Unlike dogs, cats won't have a menu to place the collar, instead you just right click the cat with a collar in hand. Enchantments won't work on cats , since they don't really attack anything.
