Okay so I live near the ocean on UFG.me and it was really boring so I was thinking of what would make it more fun and then an idea popped up a Shark plugin that adds Sharks to the ocean but only far out because it would get really annoying, dying because of sharks so close to shore. So this is just an idea but an idea that would be epic if it were MADE Please reply if ya have any ideas.
What about a whole set of oceanic dangers. Like a chance that you will be swept up in a current (Slow down when swimming against the current, speed up when flowing down the current). The current could be configured to last a random amount of time, and have a chance of dragging the player under water for a configurable amount of time. In addition to rogue boats that explode that have clearly been set afloat by pirates. hmm??
There used to be a plugin, or maybe a client mod that made a invisible sea monster. It was basically a air block inside of the water and it moved towards players and attacked them. Really neat.
yeah it had the capabilities, but i didnt find it favorable. also it wasnt smooth, very choppy movement.
Could we possibly branch off of that and create a sort of moving cylinder (Giant Sea Worm) that sort of moves towards the player? I know you cannot create mobs and this may be pushing the limits of what can or cannot be done.
what if you added effects to it, like smoke or fire or something like that. I mean, i know fire wouldnt make much sense with it being in water, but at least it would have some form of appearance rather than just invisible air blocks
Firey (effect: MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES) or smoking squids would be easiest - the tricky part would be the AI.
