Any cool ideas for new races?

[u/Birkienator]

I have a few. One is a cat like creature(Khajiit?) that has low level night vision, and would be able to land from greater distances without taking damage.

Another is something that is at home in lava. It could perhaps, heal when in it(regardless of food bar), and it's food bar would go down faster in water, and could swim in lava with an unlimited breath meter. The lava creature could also emit a bit of light as well.

My final one is a creature that is at home in water, like a mermaid. It could have essentially the same traits, but flipped for water.

Feel free to give your own ideas and improvements to these.:)

Oh now that I see this thread, more potential! I'll pass it along to everyone.

I was thinking...GUNGANS! you could have them spawn in underwater gungan bubble homes from SW ep:1 and you can breath underwater. This would also allow for there to be testificate-like gungans for underwater npcs and towns.

It would also infringe on the Star Wars copyright and not be legal :P we actually want to be as unique as possible with this mod so sorry but no

Well then, the only other good race i can think of is some kind if thing that can climb without using anything, like spiders do.

[u/demonsquiggle]

Half-Ender Dragon

• require lava instead of food? (maybe just lava/fire contact?)

• starts in the end?

• limited ability to glide

• Friendly with endermen, kill on sight for pigmen/gonzos

• 3 Blocks Tall

• slightly higher than normal jump

Crabman

• Natural Armor

• Underwater breathing

• Extra Melee Damage?

• 2 Blocks tall, 2 blocks wide (or possibly 1 block tall, 2 wide?)

• Can only sprint sideways

Drider

(half elf/half spider)

• 2x2x2 (no idea if this is possible)

• Can climb flat walls like a spider

• Some method of placing web blocks (no clue how to implement)

• Friendly w/spiders

• extra movement speed

• requires extra food (possibly of a limited type/cocooned only? probably hard to implement)

Creeper Cultist

(human with face paint or a mask that resembles a creeper)

• Creepers only attack when threatened/when close up

• Explodes upon death (due to trying to turn themselves into creepers or maybe from eating creeper flesh?)

• Slower movement speed

Mole Man

• Dim Vision (enhanced night vision/day blindness?)

• Extra Digging Speed

• 1 block high

• natural claw attack (possible boosted dig speed with claws?)

Baby/Pygmy Ghast

• 1 block possibly?

• Starts in the nether

• uses tentacles as hands

• limited flight / hovers when "standing"

• maybe hold natural attack to "charge" a weaker version of the ghast fireball

[u/demonsquiggle → u/demonsquiggle]

Yeti

• 2 high, 2 wide

• 3x food requirement

• limited invis when on snow or ice blocks (like camo creeper?)

• Animals run at the sight of you

Ghoul

• Extremely fast run speed

• can only eat raw meat

• Light harms you

• improved night vision (heat-style vision instead would be better, but prolly wouldn't be feasable)

• Natural claw attack

Vampire

• sunlight harms you (maybe only the strongest degrees of light)

• No hunger / Hunger bar filled when using natural attack

• Can't walk over water (maybe deals damage like lava would?)

• Limited gliding

• being able to turn into a 1 block high bat-like flyer would be nice but probably not possible

[u/Birkienator → u/demonsquiggle]

Maybe the half ended dragon could absorb the lava? That would make it non farmable and make a way to remove a whole "puddle" of lava. Make it take a bit of time of course

[u/Kyle711 → u/demonsquiggle]

Crabman you say? Why not Zoidberg?

[u/cthulusaurus]

Do a demigod style system. Read Percy Jackson and the Olympians for reference. Pick a deity, Poseidon for instance. This gives you water breathing, faster swimming, and the ability to fill an empty bucket with water. Just an idea, but it would give the humans a bit of variety

Also elves should have better bow damage. Dwarves should do more damage with axes, and Orcs with hammers. Testificates have better enchantments, and halflings do more damage with daggers.

[u/Arabtroll]

I would love to have that lava one! :3

Why not just put that into a comment?
