Just a note about the birds – I love the look of them and it adds some atmosphere and ambience to the world,
Minecraft feels very empty, by contrast, and so I’d encourage the addition of more birds, bats, butterflies, fish, insects, etc – things that don’t necessarily have to be interacted with but are just there to make the world feel alive.
I’m a great advocate of all living things. Be it birds and ingame insects in swamps. Or giant moles like the ones you can find in the movie “City of Ember”. For the record, for those who haven’t seen it, they’re not the size of Godzilla ^^
Like it’s been said here before, I seriously disliked the vast emptiness of Minecraft. It disturbed me a lot for a long time. Even the repetitive nature of their spawn points annoyed me. Always in group, always at the same locations.. Animals do tend to flock, I realise this. But always in the same pre-determined locations and always in group? I highly doubt it.
I’d love to see more animals in the game but I would like to have a possibility to interact with almost all of them. Stand on a worm? Splash (maybe not that dramatic) hold your torch into a mosquito swarm? burn them. Little things like that make the game even more alive.
