Minecraft Essentials: Fishing Rod Combat

Minecraft Essentials: Fishing Rod CombatWelcome to Minecraft Essentials, a series of tips and tricks helpful to veterans and newbies delivered in bitesize videos. This video will let you HAVE SOME FUN by killing mobs with a fishing rod, how awesome! Fishing Rods can hook any mob and drag it towards the player. (Although Mobs in Water or Lava will not move far due to the slowdown of the fluid.) Although the hurt animation plays and passive mobs will run away as if you attacked them, it deals no damage to the mob. Fishing Rods take triple durability damage when reeling a mob. Reeling it up will cause the mob to be pulled towards the caster at a very fast rate. Players can take advantage of this to impart vertical momentum onto the mob when reeled at great height, dealing enough fall damage for a guaranteed death (except for chicken, ghasts, blazes and snow golems as they do not take falling damage). The fishing rod can also be used on tamed wolves to act as a sort of leash, although it won’t move the wolf anywhere for long. Bobbers can be hooked onto a wolf and if it teleports back to the player, the bobber will still be present. A great way to use this is also to shoot a mob with it then go to lava and place it between the mob and yourself and then reel the line causing the mob to get pulled into the lava. It can be assumed this functionality is for pulling future Fish Mobs(such as th current mob, the Squid) out of water. Unfortunately, fishing rods cannot be used to pull back/up players, making them useless in PVP.

Minecraft Mob Guide – The Spider

Minecraft Mob Guide - The SpiderThe Spider is a fierce, venomous monster of the darkness. This guide goes into detail about them. This is the seventh episode in a series of Minecraft Mob Guides, where we look at all the hostile AND passive mobs in Minecraft in detail. In this episode, we take a look at the Spider, a poisonous arachnid of darkness. It will climb over your petty walls and fences and bite you with intense ferocity. The spider is an arachnid-like monster and also is a mob that is neutral in sufficient light levels and hostile towards the player at night and in dark, shadowy areas. They are able to see the player through solid blocks. A spider measures 2 x 2 x 1 blocks, with brownish-gray skin and red eyes that glow eerily in the dark. Because of their dimensions, spiders cannot enter 1-block wide spaces that zombies, skeletons, and creepers can, but it can crawl into 1-block high gaps (as long as they are 2 or more blocks wide). Spiders’ distinctive hissing noises can alert a player to their presence – creepers make a similar, much shorter noise when damaged. Spiders are easier to hit with arrows due to their size, but can quickly catch up to the player with their leaping (they can cover 2 – 3 blocks in a bound) and wall-climbing abilities. Spiders will often jump around when attacking, making them a moving target and harder to hit. When hunting, spiders move at a pace slightly slower than the player’s walking speed. Unlike zombies and skeletons, spiders will not catch fire in daylight.

Minecraft Mob Guide – The Zombie

Minecraft Mob Guide - The ZombieThe Minecraft Zombie comes from the depths of the darkness. Since version 1.2, these are the leaders of the horde, breaking open doorways, allowing the other demons of darkness to charge in for the kill. These flesh-eating fiends are the most common monster in Minecraft, so be prepared for a lot of battles with these guys. This is the forth episode in a series of Minecraft Mob Guides, where we look at all the hostile AND passive mobs in Minecraft in detail. In this episode, we take a look at the Zombie, a defiled human, distorted to the very edge of a human’s definition. The fiends walk around through the darkness, awaiting your fascinating flesh. A zombie is a hostile mob that closely resembles the player. A zombie measures 2 blocks tall, 1 block wide, and 0.25 blocks thick. Zombies spawn in dimly lit areas and attack players by shambling towards them and touching them. Like skeletons, zombies catch fire in sunlight. Villagers currently are constantly being attacked by zombies and having sieges with them; the Iron Golem was added to protect them.

NEW Minecraft Snapshot 12w08a: Iron Golem – Overview

NEW Minecraft Snapshot 12w08a: Iron Golem - OverviewThe Iron Golem comes crashing onto the new snapshot 12w08a. It defends villages with it’s mighty brutality and their hardened Iron shells make them amongst the toughest mobs in the game. The snapshot also brings improved world and lighting, as well as the ability to place stairs upside-down. Iron Golems roam villages slowly and are passive to the player. When provoked, Iron Golems will move toward their target at a faster rate, swinging their arms up violently once in range to attack. This does 3½ to 10 hearts damage to their target. They will attack Endermen, Zombie Pigmen, Blazes, Silverfish, Skeletons, Spiders, Cave Spiders, and Zombies if any come within their sight. They will attack the player if the player attacks it first, or if the player attacks a Villager (Only in Survival Mode). The Iron Golem does not have to directly see the player attacking a Villager to become hostile toward the player. They do not despawn if the difficulty is switched to peaceful and will continue to attack the player. Iron Golems do not attack Creepers, likely due to a Creepers destructive nature which may destroy sections of the village. They also do not attack Slimes, Magma Cubes, or Ghasts. It is possible for Iron Golems to accidentally attack one another, although this will deal no damage nor provoke them against each other. Upon death, Iron Golems drop three to five Iron Ingot, and sometimes one or two roses. If an Iron Golem generated as part of a NPC Village is killed, it will …

Minecraft Mob Guide – The Ocelot

Minecraft Mob Guide - The OcelotThe latest Minecraft update, version 1.2(yet to be released) will bring us the Ocelot, a new passive mob. This video will go into detail about these felines. This is the fifth episode in a series of Minecraft Mob Guides, where we look at all the hostile AND passive mobs in Minecraft in detail. In this episode, we take a look at the Ocelot. These nice creatures can be tamed and become house cats. These guys are nice to have around. In their natural habitat, these felines will welcome you to the jungle. Ocelots are passive mobs that normally spawns in Jungle Biomes. They are the second tameable mob to be introduced into Minecraft, the first being Wolves. The Ocelot is a mainly passive, ‘shy’ mob which will not attack the player. Should the player move or look too abruptly near one, it will sprint away. Ocelots are the first mob with the ability to sprint, as well. If enclosed and unable to escape, they will stand still until an exit is made, after which they will quickly sprint through it. Wild Ocelots will occasionally slowly sneak up on chickens, then proceed to pounce and kill. However, their behavior when taming takes priority over this behavior. To tame an Ocelot, the player must be holding Raw Fish while standing perfectly still and not looking around too quickly. It will slowly approach the player, and while in this state, using Raw Fish on it will tame it, changing it to one of the three tame ‘cat’ types. This will also end its shy behavior. It will now follow the …
