April Fools Day is nearly passed and I have not seen head nor tail of Fred. What a Waste of this special day to go without our skiddish mascot poking his head into our Mining Adventures. Normally I would find him on the forums, but I think he may be running and hiding from me... What to look for? Well... I can't really remember, but I think Fred is a gray cat, probably yellow eyes. Fred likes to be nearby but runs away when given attention. Stalking from the shadows of the night can make cats more confident though. I have not found Fred to be coaxed by fish like other cats I know. Even if trapped, I would not plan on Fred sticking around; Fred will probably skedaddle within an hour. Please don't hurt Fred, not that you mere mortals could anyway - without some cheap shots. haha. I hope that you all can help me out! This is obviously of the HIGHEST importance.
As some figured out. Fred is in-game. He will only be around for a couple days; so go hunt him down if you are interested. https://empireminecraft.com/wiki/fred/
I ran into Fred out in the waste at a village I visited. I thought he was another player out treasure hunting as well. He didn't seem to want to chat for a bit so I left him alone to talk with the creepers.
He visited me at my little hunting cabin in the wastes of SMP7. He didn't want any of the fish I offered him.
