I am absolutely charmed by this project. What's the gameplay going to be like? I assume Pokemon-like turn-based battles, but is there a twist to it?
Thank you! The gameplay is a simultaneously casted turn-based battle (like Rock Paper Scissors and Pokemon), and there is a major twist to the formula! I would love to go over what I have in a future video; however, for now I want more of my main gameplay loop coded out before I do so.
All pigeons can spawn in villages and the city pigeon is used for the texture in the oak forrest
Since people seemed to like it, I thought I'd go more in depth to my idea for Pigeons in Minecraft. Criticism is encouraged and welcome
PIGEONS
Pigeons are a passive mob spawning in all forested biomes as well as deserts and tundras. Pigeons will also rarely Spawn in Woodland Mansions, Pillager Outposts, Witch Huts, Igloos and Villages
Pigeons have 8 distinct looks depending on the biome:
Pigeons can be Tamed by the player using any of the following:
● Carrots
● Golden Carrots
● Potatoes
● Seeds
● Pumpkin Seeds
● Melon Seeds
● Beetroot
● Melon Slices
● Glistering Melon
● Spider Eyes
● Fermented Spider Eye
● Apples
● Golden Apples
● Enchanted Golden Apples
● Sweet Berries
● Glow Berries
● Sugar Cane
● Honey Come
When Tamed, players can make pigeons sit, stand and Perch on their shoulder.
Bird Nests
Bird Nests are naturally occurring in all overworld tree types, they can be harvested by the player with silk touch or crafted like this:
Pigeons and parrots can be sat in Bird Nests and will lay eggs in there when fed (this doesn't require two pigeons or parrots, thisnis indicated by hearts above the birds head) This is the only way to breed pigeons and parrots. Parrot eggs have a yellow tint while pigeon eggs are speckled purple. Eggs hatch after 5 minutes, eggs can be collected via a right click from the player or when the nest is broken with silk touch. Eggs can be placed on the ground in sets of 4. Eggs placed on the ground never hatch. They only hatch when placed back into an egg
Deliveries
Pigeons that lay their eggs in a nest will claim it as there's, pigeons can claim up to two Nests at a time.
Right clicking on a tamed pigeon in a nest with an item in the player's hand opens an interface, similar to the horse, where pigeons can be given an item yo hold. Pigeons can only carry written books and bundles. Assuming the pigeon has claimed two Nests the player can send the pigeon to the other nest on either a one way or return trip.
A pigeon with an item will fly to the other nest, loading chunks as they do so (chucks loaded by a pigeon cannot Spawn mobs or perform tick updates such as crop growth, to prevent lag).
When the pigeon reaches the nest they will place the item into the nest. Items can be removed from the nest via a right click or via a hopper placed below the nest.
Pigeons can go through half block gaps to get to the nest, if they are unable to access the nest after 30 seconds they become frustrated (indicated by particles above their head) and drop the item on the ground.
Assuming that the player chooses for the pigeon to make a return trip, the pigeon will Fly back regardless as to whether or not it could access the nest.
If the player chose one way, the pigeon will stay in the second nest with the deposited item, unless it couldn't access the nest in which case it will automatically teleport back to the player
All players can use Tamed pigeons to send packages, regardless of whether or not they were the one to tame the pigeon.
Achievements and Advancements
Pigeons have one advancement and two achievements:
Special Delivery - Advancement for sending a package with a pigeon
Sky Rat Master - achievement for obtaining all pigeon variants
Spoiled Rotten - achievement for feeding a pigeon one of every golden food item
I thought people just forgot to do research and we're saying female Reindeer shouldn't have antlers
Please keep drawing traffic/hermit hybrids inaccurately because who cares, they look cool
I say this as an animal nerd, I love to implement biologically/anatomically accurate elements into hybrid designs where applicable, but Im not gonna ususally choose to do that over whatever I think looks visually appealing. I have my gripes and peeves with some popular hybrid design headcanons, but ultimately, please keep drawing them however you want to, because you can (and to piss haters off further, for fun)
Don't care if you headcanon Pearl as transfem, draw her with male moth antennae anyway. Don't care if avian Grian logically needs a second set of pectoral muscles, just slap those wings on there wherever you want. Gem's own skin featured antlers and female deer don't even grow them, aside from reindeers, which I'm willing to wager was not what Gem was thinking or cared about. Keep drawing her with huge antlers
I don't know who needs this reminder but these are fantasy hybrids. Our inspirations in drawing them are based in reality but no fucking avian or hooved or dog people exist. A person with huge moth wings isn't realistic to begin with so who cares if you give her some antennae too. If you do you need to get a hobby
