Upcoming design change: The Endermen are coming

[DaveYanakov]

It would be the perfect opportunity for FC to construct a million phalli all at once across ten thousand servers...

Mind = blown.

interesting idea, but I don't think the game remembers how world was before the player came

What would you say is the seed for then? ;)

The seed isn't perfect, but this is not a hard thing to accomplish. There are many ways the Endermen could be made to de-civilize worlds.

I actually quite like the possibilities that raises... As someone who simply never has been able to properly play multiplayer (JUST when BTW went Multiplayer, I need to keep working mediate...) I love the idea of a hostile enemy horde in any shape.

Let's be honest, friends. This is FC. Shit's gonna get serious.

Baton the hatches? I always knew this day would come... In anticipation, I moved my kingdom to the sky by destroying it and rebuilding it 50 blocks above an ocean.

The citizens were restless and angered by the move of their home. They called me mad, CRAZY, INSANE! We'll see who's crazy when the enderman army under the ever-gazing eyes of herobrine comes a-knocking!

Also many wolves died that day, and I held a feast in remembrance of their sacrifice(what better way to remember the dead than to eat their charred corpses?)

Am I the only one considering what FC may have meant by that second part? What is the mobtrap? Is it the random dungeons you find, the strongholds, all the mob spawners, or just the entire Overworld? I think the last part of the sentence needs to be taken into consideration when speculating about what he is hinting at.

Maybe they start building their own mob traps. Though, I'm not sure because I imagine he is referring to something that is already there at world-gen...

--edit--

I should probably says thanks, FC. This mod is the most well put-together one I've come across and the support is excellent. I really can't do this mod justice without a few pages so just thanks. :)

In FC's lore, the overworld is one giant mobtrap to feed the ender dragon, if I'm not mistaken.

Oh right. I seem to remember that now that you mention it. Guess I was going the wrong direction with it. So, maybe they're going to rip roofs off of buildings since the mobtrap's killing mechanism is the sun.

Kinda goes against his MO, IMHO

1. Random griefing of player with no defense
2. Little fun value

A lot of crazy speculations goin ons heres

But speculating is fun I admit.

No patients right now, a bit slow.

So my mind wandered to minecraft. And I had a terrible thought.

So Ill toss my hat in the wild speculation , um, whatever hats get tossed in.

Considering the crusade against player GPS and other things...what if endermen are going to pick up players instead of blocks and teleport them...thats kinda terrifying.

Genius!

[Sam Vimes]

Could it be a change that goes hand in hand with the upcoming changes to beds? Perhaps a trap at our original spawn?

That would be great! A little similar to what weeping angels do in doctor who I suppose.

You must first see like an Enderman if you want to fight an Enderman...

Well remember its just speculation. Speculation threads let us vent our creativity but we are trying to guess what is coming, NOT make suggestions.

The line gets blurry. There are so many factors we as players don't consider with changes, a domino effect of things. That's why we have a designer/creator (FC).

The key differance is is between "I wonder if this is happening" against "omg do this". Speculation is fun, but not a place to bandwagon. I just took my first trip over to minecraft forums and the place hurt my brain. The rules here may seem strict, but they serve great purpose. Also, I have been posting a bit much as of late and will be taking a short break.

I need more pearls / armor in my main world to test this, and I don't want to use creative, but has anyone tried fighting an enderman while wearing the goggles? Do they still aggro on stare, and are there any other benefits to wearing "their eyes" against them?

Cool shades?

I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary when I was torching the End in my world. I can confirm that they still aggro'd if you looked at them, because they sometimes started to attack even though I never attacked first. But I didn't see anything different when I was fighting the aggro'd ones.

FC just hinted that we'll soon have another resource and it'll come from Enderman. *excited*

What could it be? He implied the change to enderman would somehow benefit us so I'm thinking it might not actually be a new item but the endermen themselves would be considered resources.

Well, we are taking their eyes... maybe the new thing is going to be their kidneys?
