[Minecraft 1.4][Mod API][IDTP] More mobs...

[ArronM]

Well when the mod API comes out in 1.4 I think we should add a few extra mobs!


For a start I think we should have horses, a mob which can be controlled and runs 2x faster than the average user. Maybe horses could spawn rarely and cannot be bread, allowing to keep them rare.


Another mob would be a "giant bird" maybe for Goldy's, this mob would only spawn in the air and is very rare, this could be rideable so would be very nice to see!

Why not dragons instead of birds. It's less game changing.

I never knew It was limitless! Awesome.

What if we got a falcon and dive bombed mobs with it?

So many possibilities..

Cool rumor. Wait till it's confirmed.

Couldnt agree more Skye

Not even sure if this is possible yet... but I doubt it is, at least the ability to add new mobs. Adding horses would require hooking the keyboard to directional events, which I don't think is possible from a plugin standpoint.

[ArronM]

Well it could rely upon user direction? and getting on/off like we already do with mobs.

Mods are easier to install, and you don't need modloader.

[wolfshond7]

Awesome, is this for client/server/both?

[ArronM]

in 1.4 the client/server will be merged into one xD

Actually, it is possible to "move" a mob a certain direction based on where you're looking. We could do this to any mob, but it'd be quite tedious on the server, and impractical.

Wouldn't the API cause lag too if we went too overboard with all the stuff we could do?
