So im interested in the mob topic and was looking through a few websites. MC Wiki says that mods or plugins, can add extra mobs. This sounded like a big challenge, and an even bigger problem that I don't know how to code. I thought it would be much easier for you Developers to make such a plugin if you had a list of good mobs to add... So I took it under myself to create a list with other users of mobs that we should have. http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/what-future-mobs-should-mc-have.5460/ There is the link to the thread with a pretty good list of mobs that should be added and would help many servers. If you even try, Im satisfied, even if you only add 2 or 3 mobs would be excellent! It seemes very difficult, to me, but is probably more difficult then I can imagine. If its not possible, then just tell me, I won't be offended (but I will be disappointed ). See what ya' can do, Thanks.
Adding new mobs would require not only a sever plugin but a client mod as well. That would mean that only people with that client mod installed would be able to play on your server without crashing. (Its a bit of a lost cause I'm afraid)
Are you saying though that, if a client mod was installed, that you could get something like mo' creatures on smp ? .. A bit like sdk's gun mod ?
Would that work with bukkit though ? I'd like more creatures .. But not at the expense of the wealth of awesome plugins being developed
Implementing it with bukkit would be a lot harder than simply modifying the server jar, its true. Harder, but not impossible. It's something you'd have to take up with the makers of the client mods.
I hope one day it will be possible ! Nevermind if we need a client mod, we can make a whitelist and say friends that they have to install it before joining the game ! I personnaly want : - Mo'Creatures - JurassiCraft : http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=173534
