well to answer all three of your questions i will have to go very specific, we will enter the body and the nature of the creeper [this may be really long(or at least my opinion on what happens)]

1. the creeper doesn't feed, from the moment it is born to the inevitable end the creeper spends its time in a near dormant state, waking only once every two years, this has extended the lifetime of the creeper by centuries past what it would survive if it were to share the same kind of metabolic system that humans have. but of course even though the cardio system slows down to about five beats per minute one part of its body remains active; the legs, the legs of the creeper are composed of incredibly strong muscle but no bones, the black fibrous material that people often mistake for talons or nails are actual empty cavities filled with a mucous liquids, these cavities are incredibly sensible to change in the environment and can detect a human footstep from over twenty miles away, this in tunr sends an incredible amount of pheromones into the creepers brain which forces it into a state of euphoric need, although a creeper must act fast since without reproducing its pheromone filled body will continue to pour chemicals into its bloodstream ultimately killing it within 48 hours of originally becoming active. it only becomes active at night though because of an internal clock that activates its "radar" since in the daytime the creepers lithe and scaly torso overheats quite quickly and would not survive regular minecraftian days.

2. i think that the first answer explains it well enough.

3. once a creeper becomes active it must seek out a host for its young, since zombies have almost no cellular activity the creeper cannot use it as a host, therefore it must search out for a warmblooded creature, keeping in mind that farm animals also don't work because of their in-adept size and non matching DNA, once a creeper finds a host such as yourself it tracks it by using an empty cavity on the top of its torso, or rather what we call its head, the three holes located in the giant and empty skull are evolutionary formed in that shape because of their efficiency at collecting air and redirecting it, the inside of the head is lined with small tentacle like barbs that filter air through it and can detect even a cough from a mile off, these are the only tools that the creeper has for chasing its prey and it is very good at it. another part of the anatomy of the creeper that changes once it becomes active is its body, since it fills itself with chemicals and pheromones they must be expelled somehow, but since the creeper has no orifice to do this instead the chemicals pool together in the back of the body, often times forming gallons full of hormones and acids that can be deadly to humans, this also activates an organ similar to the reproductive glands in that of jellyfishes that send thousands of eggs directly into the chemical soup, the eggs hatch within five minutes and a creature similar in form to a tadpole emerges, these "tadpoles" thrive and grow at exponential rates in the medley of chemicals, and feed off of the unborn or infertile eggs, often killing each other until only three or two remain. the "tadpoles" then begin to regurgitate their food in the form of a sticky almost mucus-like substance that they use to cover their body, this shell is almost as hard as steel and can survive just about anything the shells attach themselves to the side of the creeper. now that the tadpoles have finished doing its task the creeper can finish its life cycle and when it finally has come within proximity of its host a single muscular reflex causes its body to expand to nearly three times its own size, this of course causes internal rupturing and external rupturing which in turn sends its chemical soup flying into the surrounding area, one interesting chemical within the entire soup is extremely volatile and is almost an exact copy of modern day nitroglycerin. the chemical once in contact with air almost always explodes, normally killing you and creating a nest for its young from the crater, the remaining chemicals and eggs pool at the bottom of the crater along with the hosts' body and their the shells hatch, the "tadpoles" come out with a makeshift shovel attached to their heads that they use for various purposes like digging and maneuvering and then begin to feast on the hosts' carcass and chemical decomposition, after feeding for a week the tadpoles undergo a magnificent change that forces them into burrowing even deeper than the crater and into the cave systems where they form cocoons and rest for two to three months, emerging full grown creepers. they then find their way back to the surface using its head and begin the cycle anew.

this thread has officialy made me love my little pony, its unadulterated manliness is what i like about it.

turn minecraft into a text adventure game like zork

you see stone to the north, east, and west.

:mine stone.

you mine the stone, you see stone to the north east and west.

:mine stone

it is dark, you hear growling

:place torch

you place a torch, you see a grue approach you.

:attack grue

you attack the grue, and fail


GAME OVER
SCORE:&e0

the only world that i am using right now is named "above that which you are able" it comes from a line in the bible telling us to resist temptation, it reminds me never to use mods or inventory hacks because more often than not those screw my game up and i end up deleting worlds, plus it has a nice poetic touch.

slime, they are just the cutest little things, though mischievous... just be careful about standing near lava while they push you.

what if having a lot of radiation in one area causes slimes to start spawning in that area

i forgot to say, take these to finance your project

you know, there are some truly great ideas up there, just not for survival mode. this sounds like it belong in adventure mode. if this were real in survival mode then i would wkae up one day with a bakery on my house or on my other projects or entire towns that would occupy the map and make it impossible to work. and there is a mod working on colonies already its called the minecolony mod

love the idea. for adventure mode

yes. just yes.

Millénaire forums for more in-depth discussions than here:

Millénaire 7.0 open beta! Millénaire 7.0 introduces two great new features: a reworked Norman culture and the construction of a massive, end-game marvel: Notre Dame of the New World! Head to the beta page for all the details and the download link.

Millénaire 6.2 for Minecraft 1.12 available!

Millénaire is now officially updated to 1.12.2. Download the new version on www.millenaire.org!

Millénaire is a single- and multi-player mod for Minecraft. It aims to fill the "emptyness" of single-player worlds by adding NPC villages to it, with loose 11th-century Norman, North Indian and Mayans themes and additional cultures planned.

Villages are populated with men, women and children of various kinds, who perform tasks such as trading with the player, expending current buildings or improving existing ones, cultivating crops such as wheat in Norman villages and rice in Indian ones, crafting tools and powerful amulets, etc. As the village expends, the number of villagers increases as couples have children who grow up into new adults.

Help villages grow by trading with them and be rewarded with unique items such as Normand and Indian food or statues and tapestries to decorate your house with. And if they start liking you enough, they might even build you a house of your own.

Millénaire is available in the following languages: French, English, German, Russian, Polish, Spanish, Czech, Swedish, Dutch, Portuguese, Slovenian, Hungarian, Chinese, Arab, Estonian, Norwegian, Ukrainian (more coming!)

Making new cultures

Since Millénaire 1.4, the bulk of a new culture can be made without code (not just buildings and village types like before, but new NPCs as well). As such I'm interested in player-made cultures to integrate in the main game, provided they fit the general theme of Millénaire of "real" cultures from around the 11th century. Players interested in producing one for Millénaire should PM-me about it. If we agree on the idea, I'll provide support in the form of help on how to mod Millénaire and in the form of whatever new code might be needed (for new items, blocks or good productions), though likely not with the buildings and NPCs themselves. I reserve the right to change anything I might not like in a culture I'm shipping with the mod itself, but in practice I intend to leave as much of a free hand as possible to culture designers.Contribution welcome, it helps make Millénaire a rich game!


See what they are doing and what they need in the villages' centres.

Help Wanted

- There is a lot of content to fill up in the Millénaire Wiki, feel free to help: http://millenaire.org/wiki/
- Female and children sounds
- It would be very useful if people who have been playing for a while could post detailed accounts of how they play Millénaire, what they like/don't like, what their goals are when playing, etc. I need more comprehensive feedback, not just small reactions to individual features.
- New lone buildings: the more different kind of lone buildings (or variations of the same kind), the better. People wanting to do lone buildings in the same style as the existing ones are welcomed. You can post your creation in the thread, preferably with a screenshot. I'll add those I think fit in Millénaire.

Quote from JWFJWF

I hate trolls like you.

Yes, everyone who has a different opinion than you is a troll and must be nuked from orbit.

Sigh yet another person whining about the update. Was there anything you liked ?
The mob is called Enderman not Slenderman.
Strongholds now spawn 3 times on the map. In 1.9 this will be fixed.
The biomes ARE bigger than before.
NPC villages um you don't have to use the houses or farms.
The lighting engine now uses a texture placed over the blocks so there is no lag at sunrise or sunset.

If you don't like the update, downgrade to 1.7 or go play another game.

Quote from eritzcolong

well if 1.7 is goin to be adventure mode

adventure mode

Either link to where he says 1.7 will be adventure mode or just stfu up about it. I am tired of the idiots on here who say "derp derp arverntur mod" even when Notch has already stated this update will only make adventure and combat more rewarding.

A common theme I see going against suggestions is "it doesn't fit in with the general feel" and "This is overpowered, it would make things too easy". This makes me then question what the general feel of minecraft is as well as what does fit into Minecraft.

Heres my two bags of beans and then we'll see where the discussion takes us:

The feel of a game is based off of a couple things, such as genre and foundation. In minecraft, the genre is sandbox. This means your game play is open ended and, using the tools+resources provided, you can create whatever you want. The foundation is then the specific tools+resources provided. I think anyone that has played minecraft can fill in the blanks here.

Going along with this, I'll also look at the two parts of the name: Mine and Craft. The first implies that I'll be able to gather materials, and then the second that i'll be able to craft things with them.

So then here is where I think the controversy arises. To what point should Minecraft allow you to mine and craft things before it becomes an overstatement of the sandbox genre and is overbearing on the foundation (or, at what point does it become too ridiculous large and it seems improbable to be able to mine/create things with pick axes, shovels, hoes, iron, stone etc.)?

My personal opinion is that we should be able to continually expand in minecraft with a technology tree that grows to fit our ever enlarging projects. This means as we have more and more sophisticated worlds, riddled with our mine tunnels, covered in our ever expanding and diversified projects, and adapted to our personal survival, we should have the ability to move from a diamond pick axe to some higher sort of mining utensil, to go from a simple hatchet to something that has more the cutting power of a chainsaw, from a simple hoe to a complicated harvester, and from a Bow to a gun.

Why? Minecraft is one of the first truly expansive sandbox games. You literally have your own world that you can build on. This is why I name my personal worlds "Civilization". It is in the games interest to continue the ability to expand and even now we are facing barriers from not being able to go higher. This is often seen in the fact that once people create one "big" project they are often burnt out and either don't know what to make next or do not have the willpower to out do their last project. We provide the challenge to ourself, and when we burn out we remove the challenge. This is counter intuitive to the creativity and enjoyment of the game.

ToCounteract the above situation, ever expanding abilities from an expanding technology tree should come into play. Then we have the ability to make the next big thing while still keeping the difficulty about the same. There is no point to trying to expand the difficulty when the player is already burned out. Difficulty should only be expanded upon when the player is ready for a harder challenge, and in a sandbox game this should be dictated only by him/her. Not other people.

So where do Mobs come in?

This coincides with the expanding technology tree. It is my belief that as new items come into your world, you should have the option of introducing new mobs as well as new ways to interact with the mobs. If you have a harvester for your wheat, why not the ability to create a sheep, pig, and cow farm? Then, going off this, why can't there be harder mobs to compete against?

It is often complained about that the current mobs are too easy to fight and kill. So, why not have it that as you create new more advanced tools, more clever and diabolical aggressive mobs come into your game? A giant that smashes your castle maybe, or the wolves that are neutral by day become your enemy at night as they raid your animal farms and stalk you. Hell, we could have creepers with the specific inclination of destroying player placed blocks by kamikazing straight to your castle walls.


So, thats my belief and what the general feel of Minecraft should be. Please state your opinion on the subject, why, and how you believe your opinion makes the game better or worse.

Note: If you make a joke about the title, I will add +1 for the common horde
