Ideas, I've been collecting from various sites about the farlanders (explain why I call them this in the text).
1. Name change
They should be called farlanders.
Reason
Referring to this.
http://www.minecraft.../wiki/Far_Lands
If scroll to the bottom of the pictures, you can see the "end of the world" in third person mode.
That's where they come from.
It's much better to relate them to something IN minecraft don't you think?
2. How they work
>Wander, pick up random blocks and place them randomly around if there is no player or light.
>Attracted to light, but won't go in it, stand on the edge of the light.
>If it's a torch they run into the light, catch fire, pick up the torch and run away with it
>If it's light-stone they just don't ****ing bother (or a lantern).
>they sometimes create partial nether portals or just random stone hedge like constructions.
>If they see a player, they stop dead and they all stare straight at the player till he looks away.
>They are peaceful, don't attack at all, if attacked they just poof away.
This would make them more of an ambient thing. More creepy then just attacking you.
Another idea
>Visit Endermen village
>They are all moving blocks and building structures
>Approach, they all stop and stare at me
>Back away, they go on moving blocks
>Approach again, they stare again
>Use bed
>As the world starts to fade out, you see a flash of the Enderman, face directly in front of your character
>Wake up
>No trace of him, it's like he was never there.
A story someone made up (not the best)
Day 18 after the crash
Still alive and well. Smelted and smithed my first iron today. I now have a crude iron sword to fight these monstrous beasts.
I'm writing to day to report on the strange patterns I found on the ground today. They are not natural, but are strangely random. I will search for more info tomorrow.
day 19
No change in the buildings, stayed inside for most of the day rained.
Day 20. The patterns are expanding, I think. They are getting more expansive and complicated. I beginning to see a pattern.
Day 24
I'm back at the house today. I watched the ruins for 4 days straight. I saw strange points of light surrounding the patterns and moving. I just saw floating pricks of light.
That's all.
Day 25.
I'm not going back to the ruins. I looked to where I staked out the patterns and saw three silhouettes in the window. I'm not going back.
Day 28
The patterns are finished. They form a shape. A skinny human thing with bony arms and legs and a monstrous head. I don't know what they are.
Day 30
I'm looking out of my window. The patterns are alive. They are moving. They're taking my torches away. I don't see it happen, but I know it does. When I look, the shadows stand stock still and stare at me with their white eyes. They are slowly moving towards my camp. I'm leaving now.
Another story/gameplay suggestion
>deep underground mining
>suddenly drop into pitch black room
>place a torch at your feet
>THE ROOM IS ABSOLUTELY FILLED WITH ENDERMEN ALL STARING AT YOU
>BEFORE YOU CAN REACT, AN ENDERMAN DASHES UP AND REMOVES THE BLOCK YOU PUT THE TORCH ON, LEAVING YOU IN THE DARK
>IN A PANIC, YOU QUICKLY PLACE ANOTHER TORCH
>THE ROOM IS COMPLETELY EMPTY, SAVE FOR YOU
>sleep mechanic implemented
>after a long day of work, you go to bed
>wake up in the morning, and go about your normal routine
>get an odd feeling that something is wrong
>look up
>the entire ceiling of your house is gone
>endermen surround the edges, just staring down at you
>you will never know how long they have been watching you

EVERYONE
IN
THIS
THREAD
Please do.
You are all ****ing retarded.
I hope every single one of you dies in a fire while you watch your dead hopes and dreams eat the children you will never have.
Seriously how can people be this dumb.
The video was right in every single criticism, but you ****ing morons can't see that through all of notch's semen in your face.
I hope you all die.

He is.
He got someone on twitter to write a "stupid, over-serious, try hard" ending to minecraft.
So it is a troll.
0
I know.
I was making fun of people who pull the "IT'S JUST MY OPINION" card.
0
The concept is the most cliche thing I have ever seen.
All it needed was an alien invasion to make it even more juvenile and idiotic.
I don't see how an adult could find such a overused concept "compelling" in anyway. If they do, they are idiots.
0
It's not it doesn't make sense.
It's the idiot that think it has some "deep meaning" when notch even said it was a stupid idiotic over dramatic ending.
I never called literature ****.
It is bad and I've provided reason for my opinion unlike you children.
Anyone who thinks you don't have to give reasons for an opinion is a child.

With literature you do.
I know this is difficult for the teenage mind to understand, but you can't just say "THIS IS THE BEST EVER AND MY OPINION MEANS NO ONE CAN ARGUE THAT I'M WRONG".
That's not how it works.
Writing that's good is good for reasons. Not just because everyone's "opinion" is that "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" is a good book.
A opinion that can't be backed up with literary citations and proof is just projecting.
Wait till you grow up kid, then you'll understand. Take a college writing or English class. If you tried your "opinion" crap there the professor would fail you and kick you out of the class.

Because in a mature community, such as a scholarly one who discusses GOOD literature, you can't just say you like something for no reason.
When you get rejected from college because your essay was ****, you can't say "THAT'S JUST YOU OPINION".
When you say a book is "A literary masterpiece" (as some have said about this pathetic "ending"), you can't just say "IT'S JUST MY OPINION".
If you can't back your opinion up with fact, you are just projecting.
Of course, since you still have a high school definition of opinion you don't understand this.

BUTTT IT'S JUST HIS OPINION!!!!!!!1!11!!
HE DOESN'T NEED FACTS TO BACK UP HIS OPINION!!!!
That's what people will cry.
0
Pahahahaha.
You have to back up your opinion with fact.
one can't just say "THIS BOOK IS THE BEST EVAR"
Then someone says "ok prove it."
"NO IT'S JUST MY OPINION".
You can't prove this is a good piece of writing.
It's a cliched theme, or message, redundant, try hard, long winded and just plain idiotic.

If you like it, or think it has a "deep meaning" or some **** like that, you are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.
Shakespeare has a deeper meaning.
This is no where close to Shakespeare.
This is no where close to a third grade written short story.
Notch himself even asked for someone to write a "stupid, over the top, dumb ending for minecraft" on his twitter.
So there you go, notch even wanted it as a stupid joke.
So any "meaning" someone manages to squeeze out of this ****, is just WRONG.
Because all this is, is a poorly written, idiotic joke, that no mature person should ever think is deep of meaningful.
This is one million times better then notch's shitty ending.

I don't see how anyone older then 15 could like such a piece of ****.

It was horribly written.
It did not have a deep meaning (only a child who hasn't read many books or great literature would think this).
It's redundant.
It's overdone.
It's just pathetic how people think this is "good".
I'm glad we have proof that it was just a joke.
All the people saying "2DEEP4U" are just stupid.
Not said on his twitter he wanted someone to write a stupid, over done, idiotic ending for minecraft.
So there is no "deeper meaning".
It's just a stupid joke.

Letting other mobs in to attack you.
Making the game challenging.
Sure sounds good to me.
You wouldn't be able to grasp good game mechanics, you made flash games.
Also, HTML isn't real coding.
Neither is making flash games
