Anybody else gone in the Nether (or Hell as it used to be called) yet? Anybody agree with me here? Usually you go through the portal and spawn in front of a sea of lava, fire everywhere and zombie pigmen cooking themselves. Good so far. You take a sample of the slow sand and bloodstone, then start setting the ground on fire. Still great. Screaming ghasts start shooting fireballs at you. Good fun. You have a moment hitting the fire back at ghasts and then go back into your portal. Then the same thing happens over and over and over again (oh and i forgot lightstone but thats harder to get than most think as it grows on the roof). Then you decide to create a new portal inside hell and make use of its fast travel system. You turn up in the middle of nowhere and start building a cool base.
Thats pretty much all The Nether has to offer. But i have some ideas...
1. ADD SLIMES. ITS ONLY LOGICAL.
2. Another good block I'm making up is called dried lava. When broken it drops 0-2 Fire dust (It should have the same look as redstone but with flames). Put fire dust on the outside of a crafting bench and bloodstone in the middle (the same layout as a watch or compass) and you get a fireball. Fireballs are pretty much used the same way as snowballs. You throw it at something and it will do damage and set the thing on fire or if its a block just set it on fire. This is a good defense against ghasts as aiming their own fireballs at them is almost impossible. Dried lava blocks are RIDICULOUSLY rare due to their value as a weapon and can not be created manually, E.g. Pouring water on lava for obisdian. They are found near lava which makes them a chore to harvest. This makes players reluctant to go through all of the trouble and also balances out the advantage it gives you.
Well, I didnt have enough time to put all of my ideas down but be sure that i will :D Please give me your opinion on my new block and the slime idea! Thanks guys in advance!
Edit: I'm back with the rest of my ideas guys! Thanks for all of your positive feedback and ideas.
Well, lets just get straight into this.
3. Another block. This is grey and has a face on it, but not a creeper face. If destroyed you get a tortured soul fragment all of the time, no matter what. If eaten, you take 5 hearts damage and ignores armour. If you put this in a furnace, you get a pure soul fragment that you put in the chest armour slot. Once there you gain an additional health slot. If a full crafting square has a tortured soul fragment in it you get a soul block. It is slightly different to the other one. This one will spawn souls, small 1x1 mobs that float 1 block high. They make moaning sounds and if they float into you it will act like you are suffocating and will also slow your movement like slow sand. Projectile weapons like fireballs, snowballs and arrows will go through them. 1 hit with a stone sword will kill them and they drop 0-1 tortured soul fragment. If a full crafting bench of pure souls is made then you will get a pure soul mob. Pure soul mobs heal you when you walk through them and will drop a random item when killed(not block). This excludes fireballs, tools, fire dust and fire arrows.
4. Here's a mob to get things more interesting... There is two types of this mob, insane or basic. Survivors. They carry a random gold tool. Insane ones have the Herobrine texture and will attack on sight, while basic ones will only attack if you provoke them. When attacked they will swarm like zombie pigmen. Basic ones attack pigmen and insane survivors. They will drop the tool that they were originally holding.
Well, that's all I can think of right now, please comment on my newest ideas!

I think

Well, those ideas are good, but I have an idea too.
If you craft a fireball and an arrow together to make a fire arrow
Picture:
empty|empty|empty
empty|fireball|empty = fire arrow
empty|arrow|empty
Fire arrows are exactly like fireballs, but are shot out of a bow, and can be launched farther, and deals a little more damage, but still sets stuff on fire.
What do you think?
(By the way, I agree with the adding of Slimes.)
| | |
That is a cool idea. Seeing as the fireball is primarily a Ghast defense using a bow could give more accuracy. Maybe fireballs cant set Ghasts on fire but a fire arrow will.
| | |
...but ghasts are IMMUNE to fire. I also like the fire arrow idea. I think the current arrows and bows are too limited. They only have 1 kind of each. Make different bows out of different materials, and use the bows as a basis for the accuracy of your shots.
Crafting examples for the bows:
string/iron/empty
string/empty/iron
string/iron/empty
You could even go as far as making iron braced bows to increase the distance of your shots:
string/iron/empty
string/empty/stick
string/iron/empty
Also, put in the ability to make tipped arrows:
empty/iron/empty
empty/stick/empty
empty/feather/empty

I became aware of this patch only after I made this topic. These are mere ideas, I do not expect them to actually be put into the game. Most likely that fireballs have a powerful attack power, not just the fire ability. Also, why do ghast fireballs hurt them when deflected? (really hard, but not impossible and they do get hurt)
| | |
The made arrow heads out of iron back in indev or infdev :)
| | |
I think those Ideas are great. One idea I had is putting a special type of or in the Nether and it is used for weapons and picaxes. It would do more than diamond and can only be mined with diamond.
| | |
It would be easier and, imo, better if gold weapons had the value of doing more damage in the Nether. I justify this by saying gold could have a "holy" aspect.
| | |
I TOTALLY AGREE MAN!!!!
EPIC FACE FOR EPIC IDEA
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
| | |
That is an awesome idea but dont think hellstone could be crafted into an awesome pick.
| | |
What about in the nether, if you place an obsidian block and then set it on fire, you get a 'shielded obsidian' block, the same as regular but with a shroud of portal material, that can be crafted into any tool, and will destroy any block in 1 hit but will not give you the resource? Also I think obsidian should be craftable, only as fast as steel but lasts 9x as long as diamond.
| | |
Another thing that could be added is an obsidian shield. It operates to swords how arrows operate to bows, therefore balancing bowmen and swordmen.
| | |
RE: OBISDIAN SHIELD. The obisdian shield is a pretty good idea but adding it to the sword would make it too easy to kill creepers, perhaps holding down RMB (right mouse button) would give idk the armour points of a diamond chestplate? And perhaps that along with diamond tools can be the only thing that can rebound ghast fire? Great idea.
RE: OBISDIAN PICK AND SHIELDED OBBY. Obisdian pickaxes that destroy a block with 1 hit would bee a bit akward EG Destroying a block you didnt mean to destroy. Still a good idea, I was going to make another topic about a magic rod that does that and has only 5 uses. The normal obisdian tools are a great idea however.
| | |
Are you saying that LMB would swing the sword, but lower the shield and RMB would raise the shield, but, of course, you couldn't attack? Because that's awesome :D
Or the shield could just give arrow protection. Because fighting the Archers are a pain in the ass if you're a swordsman. It would just balance Archer PCs and Swordsman PCs.
And there needs to be more tools in the game imo.
| | |
I like these Idea and would like to see some of these implemented into the game.
| | |
i really like the ideas so far and a new mob for nether is flaming horses.(if someone can get better name that would be great) they are fast mobs that are immune to fire and found in nether.they would drop cooked meat and hide.(0-4 meat,1-5 hide)they would not be able to swim,so lureing them into lava would help. :)
| | |
I have a couple ideas for the Plains (the normal map area):
1. New mobs need to be added. Especially daytime hostiles, but make them rare to find. Make bears or wolves. The game's too cyclical as is (scavenge during day, mine during night, scavenge during day, etc). It needs at least SOME daytime danger.
2. New tools. I have a shield idea earlier in this thread, for one.
3. New in-home usable furnishings. I think a mill would be awesome to have. put gears back in the game and you could make one. That would also have a better reason to farm. There are probably alot more. Notch, if you read this, look up frontiersmen settlements and idealize from them.
4. VEHICLES. I don't care what, but something besides a minecart. I was thinking a bicycle. You could make it with:
empty/empty/iron
iron/iron/iron
leather/empty/leather
It would also be another use for leather besides armor, and all it would do is increase movement speed, but delete the use of tools and jumping as long as you're using it. (it would be able to climb 1 step at a time)
5. More food items. Have apples drop when you break, or appear on the ground under trees.
| | |
1. I AGREE. COMPLETELY. I always mine during the day, mine during the night with irregular intervals pause to check cactus, reed, wheat and tree farms.
2. Your shield idea was a great one, for more tools i was thinking perhaps a whip, with a range of 5 blocks or more but does minimal damage, it will also have another use.
3. Good idea, perhaps the mill can make bread but not the bench? Also a bed, making you sleep for the equivalent of one hour in the game. It would make the first few nights a little less boring. Perhaps it could be build like this:
wood/empty/empty
wood/cloth/cloth
wood/wood/wood
4. To me a bike is too modern for someone who still uses torches as a light source. The saddle and the pig have absolute minimum uses, so why not expand on them? I was thinking a coach you could attach to pigs or perhaps horses ( Which will undoubtedly be released eventually)? It would give you control over the animal but would break like a boat if it falls a great distance or crashes into a stone wall. Built something like this:
wood/wood/empty
wood/empty/whip
wood/wood/wood
An alternative which i think is better is spurs that you can attach to hide boots, if you wear them and get on a pig you can move it.
5. Yeah, perhaps pies and stuff.

Another Idea!!!

How about adding bats inside of caves (when it's dark inside them) and when you add some light near them they swarm on you (1-6 bats). The dmg could be half a heart per bat (that sits on you and bites).
Dmg to them could be something like this:
bow and arrow(s): 1 shot(hit), wooden sword: 4 hits,
stone sword: 3 hits, iron sword: 2 hits and
diamond sword: 1 hit.
They will drop 1-2 wings (1 if you used a sword and 2 if you used bow and arrow(s))
The wing(s) you get you put in youre own little crafting square
Wing|Wing
Wing|Wing
and you get a special kind of leather to make armor w/.
W/ these boots you fall slower (no fall dmg 1-10 blks)
w/ these pants you can jump 1 blk higher (first jump)
w/ this chestplate you can soar (glide while holding space)
w/ this helmet you can dubble jump (only 1 blk this time).
Well that was my idea.
| | |
I think you should be able to craft a lightstone torch:
can't be placed down but does give you light while holding it
(as lightstone on top of another blk).
| | |
I think the flashlight idea was better because when you have some more uses of redstone instead of stupid computers that nobody understands
| | |
I intended this to work as a flashlight.
But your idea is good to.
| | |
I take a small offense to that, MegaSlash. I use the redstone wires for tons of different things that actually have aesthetic values. And they aren't that difficult to understand if you have a basic understanding of logistical wirings
 | |  |
Yeah, slimes in the Nether is a good idea. But they would be more 'themed' when they are not green, but red. You get red slime orbs from it. Combine it like this:
NONE-green slime orb-NONE
NONE-red slime orb-NONE
NONE-iron block-NONE to make a flashlight. Nice idea, huh?
The flashligt will change randomly to green to red, and that would be nice in the Alpha Multiplayer games.
| | |
Nice idea then you dont have to put torches around in caves. Should it run out of energy? Ok here is an idea how it should be crafted
(empty)(Redstone torch)(empty)
(empty(Redstone)(empty)
(empty)(iron ingot)(empty)
Like it? When you use Orbs as "bateries" Green orb for an hour(if the flashlight is used)
Red orb 2 hours(if the flashlight is in use)
when you need to new orbs in as batteries you just place the flash light like this
(empty)(flashlight)
(empty)(Green orb/red orb)
(its in the players inventory crafting field)
Like it? Plz reply if you do :)

Don`t you guys think shooting fire/lava on a ghast is pretty ironic the new update Notch made was that Zombie pigmen and ghast could`ent be hurt by lave and fire will i think its ironic.
WoM Coins: 9
the nether isnt that bad . but It could use improvement and the fire balls are a good idea.
