Even though I agree that the person may be being a bit anal, they have just as much right to post their opinion on the changes as the rest of us do.
The spiders are technically, Giant Spiders. So giant bats would be awkward.
Why does everyone want freaking stupid pig people? And if they made it a zombie, people would ask the same thing but why is it a zombie?
Why would you not want bats? They make the game more realistic, since theres a lot of caves.
also: they should spawn in caves w/ direct acess to the open, should not go deeper than 10-20 blocks past the cave entrace, should spawn in medium-large swarms that stick together somewhat.
this halloween is gonna be creepy. *ssss* not you creeper GO AWAY!*BOOM*
No. Just No.
Oh and the stair corner in the desert temples is still messed up. Thanks.
Not really, I was on a cave expedition the other day and found 3 emeralds, while my cousin found 4...in the same cave. I think they are more common...
me like :3w
