#just bane of arthropods

[soonysy]

Day 65 — He might have a little problem

First time drawing with stylus pen and not on the computer, I enjoyed it very much :D

Oh, and Episode 3 of Hermitcraft be like:

[shower-racoon]

oh fucking hell

[nobledragonflying]

it's the final video of the current hermitcraft season, you open it to find grian doing a final tour of the server, of all the builds and funny stories that had happened

then he goes to the place that started it all, the fishing dock. he never did get that mending book after all

imagine him fishing for one last time for old times sake, the string bobs and he reels in a book

he laughs figuring it’s a sharpness or bane of arthropods, or something just as useless to him. still he goes and opens his inventory. his cursor hovers over the book and right there it says-

mending

in glowing shimmering purple. there is a silence so deafening that you think that someone was murdered

you can physically see his soul leave his body before the most ear piercing scream-

the video cuts to black

[sweeteaacakes]

C-can I asked for a stupid headcan about them playing Minecraft

♡》 WHB Kings Playing Minecraft.

┊ ➶ ｡˚ ° Sorry it took long~ I ended up writing some for the nobles too... but had to cut only for the kings because it would be too much.

»»-----------►

Satan

The griefer. He would pull out TNTs whenever he felt like it or light things on fire. It's an impulse.

Mining? Explosion. Fishing? Explosion. Building houses? Explosion.

His inventory has common things like flints and lava buckets.

You'd think he have a diamond sword, diamond armors or things like that until he pulls out a fucking rod.

Correction: enhanced blaze rod.

It has a knockback, fire aspect so it'll burn whoever is hit, sharpness, smites, bane of arthropods. You call it.

He has another one which is an ordinary rod that just deals damage and knockback.

Would use it with the people in his server occasionally. The nobles are eager to be the target of it.

Uses it to Mammon every time they meet and Mammon retaliates.

Despite being a griefer, he takes care of building and when the nobles told him he can find various materials he started mining and building along with others.

Paimon recommended using mods so he can have a motorbike in game. He is having fun building rails and riding minecarts.

“Expert” in redstone (aka puts it to everywhere + tnt + flint)

His playmode sways here and there but he has the most creative ideas when it comes to building.

Mammon

He traveled far and wide until he found the biome Badlands where there are mineshafts and golds.

Mammon is good at building and always experiments on various materials.

He always has treasures with him.

Either he takes whatever treasure is in the chest or leaves some. You better keep your stuffs in the ender chest :x

Eligos has to tell him many times to not make armors and weapons out of gold because it's not efficient when it comes to battle! TToTT)

So he just made a golden statue… various golden statues and some are built using redstones.

Mammon probably managed to put his ability in-game thanks to that.

He can activate giant hands in his server and they work as defensive walls.

if he is not in the server, he wears enhanced armors and weapons plus have many stacks of enhanced golden apple.

Implied a policy that in-game currency isn't exchangeable outside because a certain someone would have taken advantage of it.

People who can't afford a better computer can't enter Tartaros. Not because they have to pay to enter but because of the massive and detailed buildings that will overheat their computer TT-TT)

And when I tell you massive, I mean it obscures the sun. As if it was made by grand masters of constructions that will tell you “it's the average”.

They have a mod installed which allows them to have an advanced technology.

The server has a giant wall that resembles Mammon’s giant hand.

Ahem He dedicated a golden statue of MC’s bottom ♡

Leviathan

Since he can't hang someone in-game Leviathan uses instant-kill. They're gonna respawn anyway so no big deal.

I would say they have a mod to have tombs but… I can imagine Hades’ server to be proficient in potion making and animal taming.

Leviathan spends most of his time exploring other biomes such as nether, caves, ocean. Unlike in the outside world, in-game he can explore freely with minor accidents :3

He has a castle in each of the biomes.

I can tell he would love the Cherry Grove, Ice Spikes and even Savannah where there are many animals TTwTT)

He tames animals. Even tries taming monsters but those who hurt him are quickly dealt with. No hard feelings.

He seems like someone who doesn't care but he actually has insane armors, weapons and potions for competitive games.

Goes to another server from time to time carrying potions of invisibility.

Have more chances to stumble with Beelzebub than the Avisos’ nobles lol

Quickly log-out if it happens.

Beelzebub

Aye! The wandering king! Even in-game, he still wanders server to server.

His clones play too so you'll find him in various servers once at time.

You'll probably find him in unexpected places too…

He… have a fucking rod as a weapon TToTT)

Like… not a blaze rod like Satan… a FISHING ROD.

Yeah, it's enhanced. He forgot how he did it or what he put in it. He fucked around and find things out lol.

If you find him somewhere, there'll be a chance that he'll tag along with you and he suddenly disappears just like how you found him.

Just like outside, he still create unexplainable phenomena in-game TToTT

Lucifer

Just here to have fun~

Gamigin and Jjok helped him to get in creative mode so he can just fly around and stuffs~

He is just there to relax~

He builds here and there but is very slow because he needs to figure out.

So being in creative mode helps a lot so he won't have to search for them.

He goes in player mode though because he wants to feel the fun of actually playing it with others.

He does suck on mining…

Dies a lot…

He was mining and drowned in lava.

He drowned.

Fell on high places.

✨️Dumb Ways To Die✨️

He was flustered when he found out that there are wings in Minecraft! Gamigin was worried it would bring him bad memories but Lucifer didn't mind it.

He found it fun learning to fly again in a game. He crashed in various places until he got used to the control.

Belphegor

In AFK

Uses the game as background music while he does other stuff outside.

You know those videos of relaxing Minecraft music for 10 hours? Those

Don't bother to fight him. He cheats.

Asmo

Doesn't log-in often.

But when he does it's for hook-ups.

He prefers to feel the real thing and isn't very much in roleplay, especially when it comes to games.

Have various potions with him that he throws whenever he feels like.

I imagine him building a garden house? Lucifer like that. They hang together without speaking.

He builds the most questionable thing. Like strange things.

»»———-　　———-«

Author Note: Asmodeus and Belphegor's are short there isn't much known about them but I wanted to include them too TT-TT)~ Thanks for the ask ♡ I don't get much often so it's always appreciated:3

Last Life with divine domains

Part 1: Rules and Domains.

Rules:

Last Life mechanics but everyone has an origin that assigns them a divine domain with powers and abilities.

Lizzie, Mumbo and Pearl will have completely randomized domains... for the other players they will have a domain that is connected in some way to the one they had in this version of Third Life.

For example In Third Life Scott's domain was Ice, possible domains for him could be: winter (as the season of ice), snow biomes, water (as ice is just a state of water) or crystals (as ice is a crystal)... I put these in a wheel and randomly choose one.

Possible Domains

In here are the possible domains they could have gotten. In [] is their 3rd Life domain.

BdoubleO - [Light] - Day, Sun, Colour, Lamps & torches.

Joel - [Ground] - Sand, Stone, Plains & Fields, Mountains, Caves, Nature, Compost, Agricolture, Earth.

Martyn - [Justice & Punishment] - Goverment, Law & Rules, Execution, Revenge, Power.

Ren - [Pain & Sorrow] - Regret, Desolation & Loneliness, Grief, Fear.

Scar - [Paths & Roads] - Travel, Merchants and Commerce, Connection, Rivers (as water roads).

Scott - [Ice]. - Winter, Water, Crystals.

Skizz - [Wither & Decay] - Destruction, Death, Poison, Regeneration & Rebirth.

Tango - [Coal & Flame.] - Fire & Forge, The Nether, The Hearth & Campfires, Energy.

Third Life

Next Part

(hi @shortystack75 and @easily-distracted-by-fandom I started the sequel)

[fluffycatgirl]

i think mojang should add some manner of spider boss/mini-boss

because like

the game just needs a new boss or mini-boss imo (preferably boss i think, cause its been longer since a boss than a mini-boss, but also like there is only really one mob i would call a mini-boss though so hmmm...)

this would make bane of arthropods less worthless

could also like not necessarily be like a spider but yknow some sort of creature that would logically be affected by bane of arthropods

bane of arthropods would like still suck but like it'd suck less at least

[mindelectricdemofour]

if I want a man, then imma get a man

March 13: Solidarity / Hobbies (the hobby is mischief and lying)

Prompts: @mcyt-aro-week // ao3 Link: if I want a man, then imma get a man // Title: meghan trainor - no

It was a Thursday afternoon and Grian was experiencing shrimp emotions.

“Ugh-” The waters splashed as a book (Bane of Arthropods II) hit the surface, soon sinking under.

Grian stared at it with utter contempt.

“I mean, we've been through so much, and- I mean you treat me like I'm what- like I'm disposable!” The fishing rod was long forgotten. Grian's lips were pursed, eyes never leaving the book. “You are the worse, I hate you- no, please take me back!” 

He wasn't one for relationships, but right now, it felt like he was in one. One that ended in bitter divorce and fighting over who would care for the kids on the weekends. All because the ocean refused to give him a simple Mending tome. Really how hard could it be, to get one? Scar even got one! It was like the ocean was purposefully keeping him from it, cackling at his many failed attempts while throwing Mending at Scar and Gem. Anyone but him. 

He could imagine it now. The toxic relationship, the fighting, the begging. It felt like he could write a poem right now. Or a rock ballad.

He hadn't even noticed he was on his hands and knees. Although he was fully preparing to dive into the ocean if the next catch wasn't Mending, so he supposed the position reflected his mental state.

“Uh. What's wrong with you.”  “Ah-!” Grian jolted, eyes wide staring at Joel. The other man had seemingly materialised beside him. Joel wore a blank, uninterested stare.

“You scared the heck out of me, jesus-” Even as Grian explained, Joel still stood, waiting for him to answer the question.

What exactly was Grian doing? Did he even know? Moping and whining wouldn't get him closer to that Mending book.

He may have sat here too long. He'd lost track.

“Feuding with my ex wife,” was what came out his mouth, instead of any semblance of clear thoughts.

Joel glanced between him and ocean.

“...the sea?”

Grian nodded. Fuck it, he was dating the sea now. Instead continuing whatever weird bit they'd gotten themselves into, Joel just accepted it.

“Wow. That’s rough…” He blinked towards the ocean once more before glancing at Grian. “Well. Have fun getting mending from your… ex.” He squinted his eyes on saying ‘ex.’ “...I may have married your ex in a past life. Sorry-”

Before Grian could even process that Joel had said anything, (and what he’d said, because what the hell did that mean?) he was gone. Vanished with the wind.

But he’d left Grian with an idea.

An idea he couldn’t help but capitalise on.

//

“Fish endorsed by the Ocean. Ethically sourced,” The sign on Grian's post read. He was rather proud of it too. He adjusted it a little, thinking with a finger on his lips before adding the price.

Five diamonds seemed fair. If they were endorsed by the sea itself. They weren't ethically sourced of course, but he figured nobody would call him out on it.

“What's all this then?” He barely heard Mumbo's footsteps as the other man approached. There was barely any time to respond, as Mumbo was already reading his sign. “...Sourced by… the sea..? One would hope so… Also who is paying five diamonds for fish?”

Mumbo's eyes glanced back to Grian. Suspicious.

Grian swallowed his doubts and put on his act.

“Yeah, so I found out recently that the sea is my ex wife.” Grian hopped onto a barrel beside the sign. “I know, I know, horrible thing to forget but the sea is cold and unforgiving and I'm not that so I put it out of mind…”

Mumbo looked skeptical, (as he did most of the time Grian talked,) but hadn't interrupted him yet. Grian counted that as a win.

“...so then come to I remember the other day, our passionate love for each other, the coldness she treated me with, everything. But I'm doing this as I'm cooking up fish right-”

“I thought you didn't date?” Mumbo finally interrupted. But Grian had figured this out too.

“Yeah that's why we broke up,” he answered as flatly as possible before continuing, not letting Mumbo's mind dwell on it for more than a few seconds. 

“And I cook up the fish while I'm remembering and I look down. Because, I didn't remember that while we dated, we had kids.”

Grian lent in, eyes wide, putting his hand on Mumbo's shoulders. He had to sell this. “They were my kids Mumbo. I was cutting up my own fishy children, and oh-” He pulled away, fake sobbing. “-I can't even think about, just take them. Five diamonds for a stack. I can't be remembered for this awful deed.��

Mumbo did not look nearly as convinced as Grian had hoped. However he did look towards the price and then at Grian again. “I guess five diamonds isn't that much in the grand scheme of things.” He lent towards the barrel, Grian quickly jumping off, and sorted through the fish.

And then stopped. 

Grian grew nervous. Mumbo had thought of something.

“Do you have a permit for these..?”

…

Shit.

 He forgot to figure that part out. Grian deflated. “Uh-”

“That's what I thought.”

“I'd figured everything else out though. And you were ready to buy them because of my trials and tribulations.” It felt so upsetting to see his whole routine go to waste. And Mumbo was about to buy too! He could see the way his eyes became enraptured as Grian talked about the sea and lost love and whatever other poetic words sprung from his mouth. 

..

And then Mumbo spoke.

“We don't have to throw the whole thing away.” Grian hadn't even noticed his friend’s mind deep in thought. One hand was clasped around his chin. Eventually Mumbo looked away. “How about we adapt it a little for our wart blocks?”

...

Grian felt his face light up. He could work with that.

Hey guys I came up with a list of 10 things they should add to Minecraft, (wow not Summer related) lemme know what you think!

1. You can randomly spawn with an allergy to every crop in the game. Alternatively, you can spawn in with pica and eat blocks. It just pauses your Hunger but doesn't give any saturation when you eat things like blocks

2. Bedrock armor! You can mine this with a Bedrock pickaxe that you get by getting Bedrock with a Bedrock pickaxe

3. An Ender-Sword that deals extra damage to the Ender Dragon when you first fight it. The Ender Dragon drops this with the egg when you first defeat it

4. The Holdin' Apple. Equipping this gives you an entire extra slot. Except the Holdin' Apple uses that extra slot

5. The Warden FINALLY has a unique drop! Except Mojang wants to keep their word about not killing the Warden either. As a result, The Warden drops a Warden

6. Your body floats faster in water - after you die

7. Beds in the Nether and End now save before exploding

8. 30+ new exciting bug mobs!! They're just so small that you can't see them or be affected by them (but Bane of Arthropods includes them)

9. Auto-suggest and welcome messages for servers. The message is "Fuck". This welcome message sends when you join servers for the first time

10. Pronouns, but hostile mobs have the "Transphobic" status effect. Good luck

I have 10 more, let me know if I should share more awesome ideas! Mojang, if you're reading this, thanks for making an awesome game and letting me share these great ideas! 😗

Intro Post (finally)

Hello! I see that, during your travels through the hellsite, you’ve managed to stumble into my humble little blog :)

I shall offer you a brief explanation as to what we do over here-

My name is Av (or Aviary) :)

I am genderfluid and use any pronouns

I am biromantic asexual

I am a minor, which means that if you post 18+ content, I would prefer it if you didn’t interact with my blog (I have filtered some of it, but some pops up anyways and it makes me rather uncomfortable; thank you for understanding)

I have ADHD and autism and struggle with both, but can’t seem to stop joking about it

I am pro-Palestine, in case you’re wondering. I understand that there is suffering on both sides. I understand Hamas has done awful things. This, however, does not excuse genocide, which is what Isreal has decided is the rightful retribution. If you think Isreal has done nothing wrong, that their reaction is reasonable in the least, please leave now 🇵🇸

My interests include Genshin Impact, Project Sekai, Hamlet, Welcome Home, Riordanverse, Gravity Falls, The Owl House, ITSV/ATSV, TWOMP, KotLC, Honkai Star Rail, Hozier, Cavetown, mythology, Disney animation, theme park facts and history, and obscure facts

(I don’t really post about Hamlet anymore, so if you want Hamlet content, go check out @cleverclove, @moonlarked, @gabriel-shutterson, and @thehamletdiaries for more content pertaining to that)

I have a few irl friends on here- @iivellich, @anonamystic, @whydidwyrmmakethis, and @bane-of-arthropods-1

Oh yes and please go pat my friend @sandsmand on the head when you see this :) just a sweet ask, that’s all (unless she asks for more)

Feel free to bother me whenever you want! I love getting asks/chatting with people :)

Custom tags include #art envy, for all the art I want to eat, #doodlings, for all my own art, and #ramblings of a madman, for all my rants and whatnot. I also have an oc tag but I don't ever fuckin use it bc I can't bring myself to post about my ocs (it's #oc tag, but it's just random bs)

Typical DNI- TERFs/SWERFs, exclusionists, MAPs, zoophiles, homophobes/transphobes/aphobes/biphobes/etc, proshippers, and other generally shitty human beings

Thank you for reading, and have a nice day/night! 💜💜💜

[fallingstarsandthemoon]

This may be a bit of a lame question, but here we go.

Since Shady Oaks is supposed to be a safe haven, do they ever worry about things such as iron or silver or anything that would likely be commonly used in tools or currency but are also harmful to certain hybrids? Do they have precautions?

this isn’t a lame question at all, in fact, thanks for bringing it up because I completely forgot certain creatures are allergic to certain materials.

They do. Quite often, actually. I haven’t figured out the hybrids of most of the others yet, but I’m sure at least a few will have this problem. I’ll probably make one or two have an iron allergy just for story purposes and all.

Stone and wood tools are easy to skip. Not iron since you need that to mine Diamond and progress. Usually anyone who can’t handle iron will ask a friend for some diamonds for at least a pick and sword until they can mine enough diamond to put on armor and stuff. Anything that they need to hold that is made of an irritating material, like, bars or any item like that, persay, they usually wrap bandages around anywhere that’s usually touched.

Probably the thing that most people struggle with in terms of not being able to use something because it harms them is enchantments. For example: ANY Faerie or bug like creature is HIGHLY allergic to bane of arthropods. It does a ton of damage to them because I always thought of them as relatively close to insects and arachnids, and it’s a one-shot if they get stabbed all the way through with it, no matter what. As of current, James struggles with that a bunch and steers away from those books and weapons. They also can’t use fire aspect, (fae and faeries are “one with nature” by proxy, which means IMMEDIATE weakness to anything fire related.) The overall strat for all of them is this:

If you need help getting a material you can’t grab, ask somebody who can to help out.

I’ll probably post what everyone has weaknesses to at some point.

Switch's Hypothetical Minecraft update!

I've been brewing up a fun idea for a minecraft update that'll help refresh a bit of the general minecraft gameplay. None of this I think would be too intrusive, but rather expand on already existing concepts! Warning, nerdy and excited rambling below! If I had to give this update a title, it'd probably be "The Rewind & Refresh" or "Retread & Rework" update. Something to do with going back and giving love to older things!

--------- MOBS

--- PHANTOM REWORK

Now, Phantoms are a hated mob and I think that's kinda fair. Phantoms make the early game a bit bothersome if you don't want to rush, so here's my idea:

The Phantom and the new mob I introduce next are locked behind the day counter. In Minecraft, there's already a difficulty based on the amount of time passed. The Phantoms cannot start spawning until Day 15 has hit. If the player has not slept in 4 days, 1 Phantom will spawn and hunt the player, Day 5, 6, 7 will do the same. On the 8th day, 3 Phantoms will spawn, same for Day 9, 10, and 11. Once you hit Day 12, 5 Phantoms will spawn daily, until the player rests. After the player sleeps, the Phantom counter will go back to default, and the cycle will repeat.

--- THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN

After Day 20, a new mob will spawn, The Headless Horseman. The Headless horseman is a headless mob that rides a spooky Zombie Horse. It has a 0.5% chance to spawn every night, with a 2% chance on New Moons, and an additional 2% on Dark Oak, for a total of 4% in a Dark Oak Forest biome on a New Moon. They cannot spawn below y=50, so they are a surface only mob. If a Headless horseman spawns, another cannot spawn in a 75 block radius.

The Headless horseman attacks you by ramming into you with their Zombie Horse, much like a Goat does. This attack can deal 2/4/6 Hearts of damage on Easy/Normal/Hard. If the headless Horseman's horse dies, the Headless horseman will slowly perish. The Headless Horseman also burns during the day.

Once the Headless Horseman dies, they will drop 2-3 Iron OR 2-3 Gold, with a 20% chance to drop an enchantment book. (Fire Aspect, Unbreaking (I-III), Mending), and a 10% to drop 3 Emeralds.

The Headless horseman has a weakness, if the ground is less than 4 blocks deep, and there's water below it, or a pit at least 5 blocks deep, the Headless Horseman CANNOT pass, referring to the fairy tale.

--- NETHER WHALES

Nether whales are an endangered and mostly ambient mob that spawn in the Lava Ocean biomes. Nether Whales are 6 blocks long, 3 blocks wide, and 2 blocks tall. If a Nether Whale finds itself on land, it will explode with a power of a Charged Creeper. Nether Whales are preyed upon by Ghasts, and Nether Whales prey upon Baby Striders.

--------- THE DEEPER MOBS...

The Deep Sea is a part of the world I love, seeing all sorts of weird and strange creatures, like Anglerfish, barreleye fish, and Minecraft introducing deeper caves and the Deep Dark was something I was ECSTATIC to see! But, not much has been done JUST yet for the deeper mines. Here's my proposals!

--- COBWEBBED CREEPERS

Below y0, Creepers have a 10% chance to become Cobwebbed Creepers. Cobwebbed Creepers are slower, paler, and bulkier creepers. The creeper noises they make are mixed with Spider noises. They take a few extra seconds to explode, and when they do... 0-2 Cave spiders, and 0-1 Spiders spawn! The Cobwebbed Creeper's explosion is also weaker, only destroying blocks in a 3x3x3 area with an extra middle block in each direction. The danger of the Cobwebbed Creepers are that they spawn spiders, however, if you kill the Cobwebbed Creepers before they explode, they give 50 XP, roughly the same of 4 zombies at once.

Cobwebbed Creepers are weak to Bane of Arthropods, giving the enchantment more of a use for these bulkier and deadlier creepers.

--- CAVE SPIDER REWORK

Cave Spiders are a mob that ONLY spawn in Mineshaft Cave Spider Spawners. This is strange, considering their name. I propose they spawn at Y-20, replacing spiders 50% of the time. They also have only half the health of a regular spider. They still contain their poisonous abilities.

--- IGNEOUS ZOMBIES

Below y-20, and in Lava, Igneous Zombies can spawn. They're rocky zombies who are immune to lava! Once they spot a player, they slightly quickly make their way to the Player, and upon attacking, they light the player on Fire! They are frailer but quicker, and upon death, drops 2-4 Deepslate, and rarely, a cooked Potato, Golden Carrot or Steak. Baby and Villager Igneous Zombies don't exist.

Igneous Zombies are especially weak to Snowballs and Water, similar to Blazes.

--- SPECTERS

Below y-10 are the Specters. They're distant cousins to the Phantoms, appearing to Miners who haven't slept in 5 days. When they spot a player who hasn't slept, they'll bounce up from the ground, jumping 3 blocks high, and then slowly glide down to you. Anything they'll hit will be pushed out of the way, triggering Infighting, and dealing 1/3/5 hearts of damage. If they hit a wall while gliding, they'll take a good couple hearts of damage.

Killing them will make them drop Phantom Membranes, and rarely, a fish.

--------- CROPS

I'd also like to introduce 3 new crops, Corn, Tomatoes, and Nether Cattails

--- CORN

Corn is a 1x1x2 block crop that takes 12 stages to fully grow. Once it's ready to harvest, the 2 blocks it occupies can give 1-2 corn each, for a total of 2-4 Corn. This will set it back 5 stages, and will eventually grow back. Corn, when eaten, can restore 5 hunger (2.5 Meats). Cooking it on a Campfire will get you Roasted Corn, which will restore 7 Hunger (3.5 meats). Roasted Corn cannot be cooked in a Furnace. When eaten, Corn gives Cob, which can be used for Composting!

3 Corn in a row can be crafted into 2 Corn Seeds, which can be grown. Corn Seeds can be obtained in Villages, Zombies, or with a 1% Chance from Grass!

If you put 6 Bonemeal above and below, you'll get 12 Cornmeal! Cornmeal is a food item used with all farm Animals! (Pigs, Cows, Chickens, Sheep, etc etc). When used, Cornmeal has a 80% Chance to put an animal into Love mode.

--- TOMATOES

Tomatoes are another crop I'd like to introduce. When planted, it is 1x1x1, however, by placing a Fence Post, the plant can grow upwards, to a maximum to 3 blocks. When harvested after 6 stages, you get 2-3 Tomatoes, for a max of 6-9 Tomatoes! Tomatoes can be cooked like Corn, only via Campfire. Raw tomatoes give 2 Hunger (1 Meat), Roasted gives 4 Hunger (2 Meats)

With 2 Bread in the middle top and bottom, 1 Meat (Steak, Cooked Porkchop, Mutton), and 2 Veggies (Corn, Potatoes, Carrots, Tomatoes), you can craft a Sandwich! Sandwiches are unstackable foods with a unique feature, Durability! When eaten, it restores 14 Hunger, (7 Meats!!), and can be eaten 4 times. The Sandwich is a powerful food item, but takes 1.5x as long to eat then your usual meal.

With 3 Tomatoes, Milk, a Bucket, and 2 other Veggies, you can make Tomato Soup. Tomato Soup restores 8 Hunger (4 Meats), as well as cures all negative effects, leaving positive effects alone!

Tomatoes have one final feature, they can be placed like Sea Pickles, Turtle eggs and Candles! They can stack up to 14 times, in a pyramid formation. Tomatoes serve a more niche and decorate use.

--- NETHER CATTAILS

Nether Cattails are a plant that either grows next to, or in Lava! Nether Cattails can grow up to 4 blocks tall, and then creates a Nether Cattail tip. When it grows an extra stage, using the block will let it explode into 5-10 random dyes, (Blue Dye is replaced with Lapis!) and 1 Cattail seed. After a some time, it'll regrow. Nether Cattails would be a fun new addition to Nether Oceans, being their version of Sugarcane & Kelp!

Nether Cattails, when broken, can give you its Pod, and its stems. The Cattail stem can be used to make Paper, and the Pod can be used as a flint replacement for arrows! Nether Cattail Pods can be eaten, removing 2 Hunger, and giving 30 seconds of Fire, Nausea, and poison.

--------- STRUCTURES

Some Dungeons have simply been left to rot, with varying amounts of care to them,I'd like to simply refresh a couple!

--- PYRAMIDS

Pyramids are slightly bigger, and the interior will be re-decorated to be more egyptian themed. Normal Sandstone Pyramids will have 3 types of pits below the Blue Terracotta.

Type 1 will be the classic type, the old 4 chests with a tnt trap in the center!

Type 2 will be a stairway downwards, leading to a split hallway, as the end of the sides is a double chest filled with Treasure! A tripwire hook will also be hiding in the hallway, don't disarm it, and you'll explode!

Type 3 will contain a spiral staircase and once at the bottom, there's a large hallway with 4 rooms on the sides, each having loot. 3 of them are safe, and 1 is dangerous. The player can figure out the safe chest by checking the flooring, if the floor is red, rather then orange, that room is dangerous!

--- JUNGLE TEMPLES

Jungle Temples just need a general re-building. using Stone Bricks and their mossy counterparts along with Cobblestone! Some new varients of Jungle Temples would be lovely!

--- DUNGEONS

Classic Dungeons are a staple, and I propose a simple addition, Classic Dungeons can generate in different shapes! Spheres, Pyramids, Rectangles, Hexagons. To add to this, new Mob types can be generated, Creeper Dungeons, Cave Spider Dungeons, Stray Dungeons (in Snow Biomes) and Husk Dungeons (in Desert Biomes) can generate! Dungeons can contain Gold, Diamond,Emeralds, Melon & Pumpkin seeds, and 3 items regarding the mob type the dungeon spawned with. Zombies get Smite enchantment books, Carrots and Potatoes, Skeletons give Bows, bones and Bone blocks, Creepers give TNT, Gunpowder and Flint, the list goes on. The dungeons retain their old selves, but getting fun new variations!

---- STRONGHOLDS

Strongholds are a staple of Minecraft, but they have been left to rot, which is terrible considering the IMPORTANCE of them! So, My rework would be this: The Eye of Ender would lead you to a guaranteed room, the Center of a End Stronghold. There, there can be up to 4 paths, a path going down, one going up, and two paths to the side. One of these paths will take you to the End Portal Room. Id request for End Strongholds to be given more layouts and rooms, as well as updates to the general building style. Add some red wool for the floor, and in hallways, have a few spawners with Cave Spiders and zombies, to make the trip tougher. Have Soulfire Lanturns lighting up the hallways, and some arrow traps cleverly hidden with tripwires. Stronghold libraries should be a bit larger and grandiose, with cobwebs and the new bookshelves, perhaps even use them for secret entrances if you find the shelf for a room of loot! Endermen have a slightly increased spawn rate here as well.

Of course, at the end above lava is the End portal frame, with lava pouring at the sides. Make it look pretty using Deepslate, Purpur blocks, Gold and Diamond blocks, with a couple chests of end game loot. The End Stronghold deserves a lot of love for what it is about.

--- NETHER FORTRESSES

Nether Fortresses are also very important considering they're the only places Blaze can spawn. Now my proposal is simply, use the new Netherbrick blocks, and make the flooring Red Netherbrick, or have the bottom sides be used. Nether Fortresses are a bit hard to play in due to how dark the blocks are. I'd also make them form in a more grid-like structure. Every chunk, the Fortress attempts to generate either a hallway in the correct direction, stairs, a unique piece, or a dead end.

Unique Pieces would include the Lava Well, Blaze Room, Netherwart Gardens, Netherwart Tree room, Room Splitters, Staircases, or Large Rooms. Roughly 25% of Dead ends will end with a Blaze Cage room, and there's always one garunteed to spawn. There could be more types of special rooms, but this is just a general idea of how they could be reworked. Nether Fortresses that have hallways go down could twist into themselves and become multi-layered, making them not as flat as they usually are.

If a Nether Fortress is spawned in a Soulsand Valley or Warped Forest, the Nether Fortress would be made out of Warped Netherbrick (A block I'm adding :)), and Blazes become Soulfire Blazes. They'll be stronger but drop more Blaze Rods, as well as more XP.

--- NETHER MINESHAFTS & PIGLIN SKELETONS

According to Mojang, Piglins have mined the ENTIRE nether out, and that's why there is no Netherite ore. However, I'd love to expand on that! Piglin Mineshafts are similar to normal mineshafts, but instead of being 3 wide and tall, it's 5 wide and 5 tall, with polished Basalt Pillars and Blackstone Brick roofs. They spawn at Y35 and below, and have a higher chance of Ancient Debris, Gold and Quartz!

However, this is not free, Piglin Skeletons spawn in this structure, and have recalled a bit of their old instincts. If you mine Gold, Quartz or Ancient Debris in a 4x4x4 area, they'll attack you. Netherrack is fine, however. Making barriers and or defeating them will let you reap the rewards of this structure!

--- PIGLIN EXCAVATION SITES

Piglin Excavation sites are very rare structures that create a wide pit with a spiral staircase to the bottom. There's plenty of ores to mine, and jn the center is a Piglin Watchtower with a bunch of golden tools, enchantment books, and weapons. These contain Piglin Brutes & Piglins. They go pretty deep and are rather large structures, about half the size of a Woodland Mansion. They only appear in Nether Wastes.

--- QUARTZ DEPOSITS

Quartz Caves spawn occasionally in the nether. they appear as slits, with Quartz Crystals, Nether Quartz Ore, and Quartz Blocks. there is also Packed Quartz Ore, blocks that give tons of Quartz and XP.

--- STRIDER DENS, ELDER STRIDERS, & RUBIES

in Nether Oceans, you can occasionally find a tube of Blackstone containing Striders and Elder Striders. In this tube are small pockets of Lava in a blackstone floor, being the Strider beds they rest at. Elder Striders are Striders whos hair has grown out, giving them bushy staches and eyebrows. They're neutral mobs, hurting a Strider or Elder Strider will not be without punishment, as they'll shoot out Lava Spitballs! These don't explode, but will light the player on fire for a very short bit.

In Strider nests, you'll find a new ore! Ruby Ore. Rubies are the Diamonds of the Nether, and can be used to make a Ruby Enchantment Table. Rubies can also be used on a strider to make them like you for a few minutes, gaining a speed boost and allowing you to control them, even without a saddle! Striders LOVE rubies, and collect them to decorate their homes. They'll follow you if you hold one in your hand as well.

--- GHAST GLOWSTONE PODS

On the roofs of the Nether, are LARGE deposits of Glowstone, hollowed out. These are Ghast Pods, homes of the Ghast. Ghasts have made a home similar to beehives, and roam around them. This makes small glowstone deposits into unfinished or abandoned houses for the Ghasts. They are a jackpot of Glowstone, but 1-3 Ghasts will always be around them, protecting their home.

--- NETHER PILLAR BIOME

The Nether Pillars Biome would be a Lava Ocean specific biome where large netherrack pillars are formed from the ceiling to the floor, this biome has no special features, but is a fun ambient biome.

--------- ITEMS & BLOCKS

Rubies can be found in Strider dens or rarely in Basalt Deltas. They can be used to make Ruby Blocks and Ruby Enchantment Tables. Giving them to a strider makes them happy, and allows you to ride them without a saddle for a short time, being almost akin to a Taxi. Ruby Ore is affected by Fortune.

Red Netherbrick will be given a full set, and Warped Netherbrick will be added and also have a full set as well. Soulsand can be made into Soulsandstone, and get a set as well.

Condensed Nether Quartz is a rare block in Nether Quartz Slits, and contain 6 Quartz, and gives a LOAD of XP. They are affected by Fortune.

Nether Cattail Stems and Nether Cattail Pods are a block that can be placed, Pods can be stepped on and deal damage akin to a Berry bush. Cattai Stems are like Sugarcane, and be turned into Sugar or Paper, and the Pods can be used for exploding into Dyes, or crafted into Arrows as a flint replacement!

Iron can now Oxidize into a brown-red rust. I've always dreamed of having iron rust after Copper was given this ability. Oxidized Iron would be a different flavor, which would be perfect for spooky industrial buildings, or showing a different kind of age.

Copper is a item & block that needs more general usage, and that will be the ability to substitute Piston's iron with Copper, or making Copper Anvils. Copper Anvils would have less durability then a typical anvil, and be made purely of Copper Blocks, but would fill the same purpose. Copper can also be used as a substitute for Iron in a few more recipes, lightening the amount of Iron a player needs to use, and giving copper some more strength for usage.

-------- THE END --------

Thank you so much for reading my silly little wishlist of things! I was bursting with ideas and have been working on this for about a week. I just wanna expand on existing features and or re-work a few of them to truly let them shine! I added in a lot of new nether mobs, mostly because the Nether Update was one of my favorite updates, but it needed just one more kick to get it fully topped off! The Lava Oceans needed just a small push! Eventually, I'll see about making some concept art for these mobs, structures and biomes! But with that said, I'd love to hear thoughts on these mobs, structures and general reworks! ^-^

[carbonausmoth]

i love the depths in tears of the kingdom. I love the idea of this huge, underground area filled with creatures the surface has never seen. but. my one main issue is that you cant change the depths. you cant build a house there.

I want to have something like the depths in Minecraft. I want to be able to descend down a massively deep hole and land in the realm deep below the surface. and maybe! they can do the thing that I've always wanted. which is an arthropod dimension.

Giant bug-like creatures trying to hunt you down. Mobs that actively stalk you, waiting for a moment to strike. A creature that is literally just a tank shaped like a bug. it'd make bane of arthropods much more desirable.

[aduelbetweenkingdomsafreshstart]

ADBK: Metalzoa

Epithet: The Droid Doppelganger

Voice Actor: Corey Burton

Tribe: The Machinations

Biography: Zoa is a powerful Fiend, an enforcer of Zorc's army, and easily able to rip most Monsters to pieces! That being said, this had not gone unnoticed by the Machinations and PMK. Therefore, Robotic Knight and Jinzo created a duplicate of Zoa, with all his strength and ferocity, to assassinate and become the real deal.

However, this doppelganger, dubbed Metalzoa, was not interested in just being a cheap knockoff of Zoa. So, he instead disobeyed orders to kill Zoa in favor of leading an army to try and conquer the Arthropod Empire!

Although Perfect Machine King was at first displeased by this breach of conduct, he changed his tune when he noticed a new, metallic fortress within Insect territory. Pleased with his hard work, as well as the creation of the Kamakuri Spiders, PMK made Metalzoa an honorary Machine General, his main holdings being where he made his mark as the bane of the Insects!

[sorcererest-sorcerer]

Other animals that Mojang should add:

More bugs- beetles, worms, mantises… there are endless possibilities. Bane of arthropods currently only affects five mobs at this point. We need more hostile monster bugs and more peaceful bugs.

Reptiles- to my knowledge, there is currently only one reptile species in minecraft. Turtles. We need snakes and lizards at least.

Song birds- they function similarly to tropical fish. Each texture is a different species with its own attached sound bite so each has a distinct call. They have nests in trees. Need I say more?

Crows- I know I just mentioned birds but hear me out. Crows could be a peaceful mob that is still somewhat of a nuisance. They can destroy crops and steal dropped items. You could build scarecrows, perhaps a new type of golem, that deter them like cats do with creepers. They could also be tamed as pets.

i couldn't reblog this gem so here you go

Entry 1.3.2-3 - Capitalistic Completion

Welcome to my blog. I’m not tagging anything but entry #, so sorry if my unrelated mess somehow ends up in your search.

Was double checking the wiki and had a realization

Didn't realize this was possible already! Now I can start collecting Beans. Also, this screenshot just made me process what the jungle log texture looks like rn and... wow programmer art sure is something huh.

Side note, either I keep hearing in game footsteps or my earbuds are Really shifting. Very nerve wracking when I leave the game running and my mind jumps to "Herobrine hunting me??????" At its core, MineCraft is a horror game.

Also, my sheep keep somehow breaching containment. I have no idea how. I think something with chunk loading and fence collision.

The villagers have made no progress in repopulating the village, so I guess I'll do my remaining trades at the iron farm.

Thankfully I had what this butcher wanted but uh. Wow this is unnerving with all of them staring at me lol

Buying an iron sword from the blacksmith just to trade it to the priest to give me b-bane of arthropods...... gross.... That's the blacksmith and priest max'd at least. Now I just need a librarian and to "max" two butchers.

Well. That's the butchers done. Had to snag some more coal from a nearby vein but I did it. For a moment I thought there was only one butcher up here, but between the two of them I've managed to get an entire set of leather armor.

ugh librarian trades suck in this update but that's another one max'd.

In village:

2 max brown robe

1 max librarian

1 max priest

1 max blacksmith

Imprisoned:

2 max butcher

1 max librarian

1 max blacksmith

1 max priest

Thought I'd try to get a saddle trade but I'm getting tired of how buggy these guys are, sometimes not giving new trades and the spam of the door open/close sound. Horses aren't added for forever (read as: like 4 updates) so whatever.

I'm gonna try to get a bit more done so that this entry isn't all villager trades.

Obligatory trophy shot B)

As I'm looking at the goal for next version, I want to add the unofficial goals of getting a proper farm going for wheat, carrots, and potatoes.

It takes me around 5 stacks to raise the entire wall by 2 blocks. I currently need to raise it by 5 blocks to have it completely even out. I don't think I have enough coal for that, so I think I'll throw a roof together for the bunk house and call 1.3 a wrap.

There. It's not pretty, but it'll get the job done.

I anticipate 1.4 taking me a few parts to gather enough exp to enchant my gear. I don't think I've ever fought the wither before ;w;

I might look into how to break/get through bedrock on the nether roof too just for funsies. Maybe build a little obsidian bunker for the fights to take place in? We'll see. I'm kind of in the process of prepping a cross-country move so I may be less active in my silly little world.

next (1.4.7-1)

[zosonils]

can’t believe ferb canonically speaks minecraft enchantment table
