How hard is it to design a mob for Minecraft? Pfft, not hard at all! Look, I’ll come up with one right now. OK, so let’s say it has a face… a depressed face! (Write what you know). Let’s give it a striking but familiar colour… oooh, green! Should it have an intuitive gameplay feature that doesn’t frustrate players? Nah, let’s just have it explode! Alright, now all we need is a name. I’ll name it after my favourite Minecraft.net writer, Per Landin, and the song I listen to on a loop while writing these fun articles, Creep by Radiohead. All done! Behold my completely original new mob, the Creep-Per!
Oh. I guess making original mobs is harder than I thought. Perhaps I should watch episode 9 of Ten Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Minecraft: Making Mobs for some inspiration?
