Well I bet that Notch is like 'Okay Well I want Anvils and Pyramids and Bosses added to 1.4" Then Jeb does it but puts in a hint of Jeb in them.
I would imagine that they'd simply make it so you can't craft Withers in the Wild to prevent any issues.
You should have read the rest of my post Of course Notch at least gives Jeb a guideline. I doubt Notch does 0% on minecraft.
Notch is, and has, been involved the Modding API and he was involved with Witches and the Wither (although Jeb did some work on the Wither too, Dinnerbone was involved with every little line of code for the Wither), although he is working on his own game which is a little bit like Minecraft in space.
I wish they were only spawnable in the Nether. It'd make it less dangerous for them to be activated on the EMC servers. Here's an idea: Wither Battle Chambers made of Bedrock. People go there (A command say.. /WitherChamber), build their Wither, kill it, get their drop, leave.
EMC is close to getting a dragon tomb update, where there are enderdragon portals spawned around the wilderness and people must find them in groups. Perhaps Aikar will make it like this for the wither...
This could be a really stupid idea where I'm not thinking, but couldn't it just be setup as you can only spawn Wither's in land that you have claimed (or have perms in - possibly a Wither flag?), and even then it's logged. That way, it would be next to impossible to use them to grief others, but you'd still have a chance to spawn them in the wild. For example, a really nice person (eg: me ) could create a public claimed area for wither spawning for those who are unable to get an egg to claim part of the wild, and anyone with an egg could just spawn it in their own.
Yeah, I know. Did you read the title? IN EMC!!! Honestly, if I didn't know what it was, then why would I make a thread?
Haven't read the posts much after mine... but everyone really needs to understand this: Enchanting is dead economy wise. Mojang does not care about an economy, and they will continue to make Enchanting more accessible. Everyone might as well give up trying to hold onto that as a top of the Economy. We will analyze the wither some and make adjustments as needed.. We may just make it not be able to destroy blocks.
Maybe we can use the wither to destroy dirt blocks in the res, but use a flag so that the wither can't escape or despawn/fly away
That would be cool, using the wither to clear a res. But the res system lets things inside sometimes wreck the street, so that might not work either.
