Notch reveals new mob for Minecraft 1.8

[newwiseman]

All the more reason to keep building lava moats around my damn house and strip-mine.

So how about this, it can pick up a block, but it won't drop it until it does, it can't attack you with or without something in it's hands, and it goes towards light sources even though it can't spawn next to them. Finally, a use for a castle. I hope Notch adds invasions of mobs.

 

[newwiseman]

Now, you see, every problem is just a solution waiting to happen;

Problem 1: Endermen want to steal my blocks
Problem 2: Someone's dug a series of pits around my camp and filled them with burning Netherrack

Problem Solved!

(Works against ogres, I figure it'll work against these buggers, Netherrack is way better than lava for this sort of thing, it's cheaper and safer!)

But you can't legitimately get Netherrack online since the portal doesn't work in multiplayer. Hacks or OP can alleviate it but ehh point made.

Lava Moat Wins.

At least until I can construct automated turrets or ballista.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

Well shit, that's creepy. The last thing I need is Slendermen wrecking my stuff when I'm not looking.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

Hell...
I don't do particularly well with Creepers, and now I'll have to deal with SlEnderman?
[sub]Something tells me I'll be getting a wee bit more acquainted with Home Security next time I play Minecraft.

Yes it does, he fixed that back in 1.6, or did it break from a recent Patch I'm unaware of?

 

[Gorobrin]

this may be the people of the npc village's notch has been taking about

 

[Life_Is_A_Mess]

Woot! New mob! Can't wait for 1.8, so much cool stuff will be in it!
Btw for those of you wondering what's that thing near the water, it's a giant mushroom.

Yeah, Notch fixed the nether in smp. Of course, the server i play on turned it off because of lag

 

[Cheesus333]

Oh my God it can see me and it knows I'm scared. Okay, I'll be fine, I've got my sw-... where's my sword. OH GOD, WHERE'S MY SWORD!?

...IT HAS MY SWORD! AAAAAAAAAGGGH!

*locks windows*

That there is some High-Octane Nightmare Fuel [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HighOctaneNightmareFuel]

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

No, my stuff! Now I need to fence in a lot of stuff!!! DX

 

[Stoic raptor]

Like Minecraft isnt scary enough with this shit.

But it looks awesome, and look forward to seeing it.

 

[trebthegamer]

oh great i got the peacefull animals having a party in my house, messing with my door controls and railway system, the creepers blowing up a sides of my main castle. and now i'm gonna have these creepy buggers taking everything i make apart. i'm not scared just annoyed by every A.I. that's messing with anything i do.

 

[Wurek]

Ok the my next house will be floating in the middle of the air. Surrounded by sea. With death traps in every corridor. With only one entrance. Which is hidden.
I hope these buggers can't use levers or open doors. Or even worse: be able to use pick apart stone or brick walls.

 

[V8 Ninja]

And that's another reason I don't play Minecraft anymore; I can't see anything at night. I can't even see the ground when I go out in the blocky woods at night. As for the mob, it adds a creepy vibe to the night.

 

[therandombear]

well..seems like I have to fortify my Island of fiery death so it has even more fire...

Lava surrounding my island..but if these guys can jump over it..I'm making a 2 or possible 3 widht block wall of netherrack around my island...keep them suckers out.

I hope they don't de-construct or build stuff over my stuff though..would be just annoying -.-

 

[Xaio30]

"Slender" really stuck with me. Just as "Creeper", except an adjective, not a verb.

 

[TailorTF]

Eh,I don't really see the problem yet.With their posture and their glowing eyes they remind me of robots,and sand robots are not that big of a deal in my opinion.Though I am looking forward to meeting them in 1.8.

 

[castlewise]

My guess is he will be able to break blocks up to a certain "hardness". That way you could still build walls to keep them out but you have to build them out of stone or something.

 

[DarklordKyo]

So Notch is adding the Slenderman huh?, when's he gonna take a cue from the Yogscast & officially add Israphel? (if you want info on Israphel, there's a link here.

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

I think this is appropriate.

I play peaceful anyway! (Yes, i'm a pathetic little man-child) and this is going to cement that!
Scary stuff.
VERY scary stuff...
