Q: If you could add a monster to Minecraft that no one had ever mentioned before, what kind of monster would you add?
One might think of the Blazing Beast that Minecraft 1.16 added, a creature that is almost beyond everyone's imagination. But to be precise, the Blazing-Footed Beast is not a monster because it is friendly relative to the player. Monsters have at least three attributes: (1) terrifying, (2) harmful, and (3) hostile. So some people opened their minds and added a monster called the Lurker to Minecraft.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" >01, New Mob: Lurker? </h1>
The Lurker is an all-over dark monster that looks like a short enderman, and most importantly, it is only 1 block tall and petite in Minecraft. But don't be fooled by its petite stature. It has extremely high damage! Extremely fast! And the hit rate is unusually high. It will make a strange cry that you will never forget for the rest of your life.
The Lurker, like most monsters, spawns in dark nights with a brightness of less than 7, as it is dark throughout, and with only 1 block tall, the night is the best environment to disguise its whereabouts.
During the day, lurkers do not die from sunlight. Instead, it will gradually "petrify" due to the appearance of sunlight, it will change the color of the stone, and you may not be able to detect its presence in the rock pile. But the damage taken has increased dramatically!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" >02, unique "cloning" capability </h1>
Creating a new monster in Minecraft is tough, especially the more conventional small monsters. This will affect the balance of survival difficulties, the balance of survival resources, and so on. So you'll find that over the years, Mojang has barely added any new biological systems, just zombie variants, disaster villager variants, pigman variants, and so on. Therefore, for Mojang, it is much easier to add a boss-level monster than to add a completely new monster system.
The "Lurker" is the most different ability from all monsters - cloning. Of course, Minecraft has similar abilities, such as slimes. But slimes are the decomposition of a large individual into several smaller ones. The total amount of damage will not be higher than the former.
However, the "clone" attribute of the lurker is different in that it activates the clone ability when attacked by any kind of damage. He will immediately replicate himself with the same health status, for example, if the amount of health after being injured is 10, then it will instantly copy an identical self with 10 health points. And the damage and size are exactly the same as those of the previous self. Therefore, the best way to kill the "lurker" is: please attack quickly!
Lurkers also have a fatal drawback, this cloning ability is only performed at night, and during the day when the lurker turns the color of the stone will not be able to replicate again. This is your chance to kill it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" >03, New Weapon: Ender Sword! </h1>
Lurker, this monster doesn't actually have its own faction in Minecraft, but actually belongs to the enderman's mutant creatures. Like the Enderman, it spawns in the Overworld, Nether, and End dimensions, and all have the ability to teleport. The Lurker possesses an extremely rare and rare drop, the Ender Sword. (Extremely rare and rare)
The Ender Sword and the Nether Alloy Sword are both upgraded versions of the Diamond Sword, and the feature is that you can also teleport when you don't have the Ender Pearl, which is exactly in line with Mojang's setting for future attack weapons: there will be no more attack weapons stronger than the Nether Alloy, but it will allow you to choose between weapon characteristics.
Finally, this is actually a new creature from this brain hole, is from a module called "Colds: Lurker", the module is suitable for Java version 1.16.5, the reason why mention this module, you will find that the author of the module is actually making a bold conjecture about the future "Minecraft: Update to the End". Perhaps the future end of the land update is bound to improve the ender family's biological system and world view, which has become the consensus of most players.
