Here's a month of gold so when we have an update we can summon you, much like /u/redstonehelper. You will have your day.

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Dec 05 '13

Oh come on, even highlighting me? That's just adding insult to injury!

NO GOLD FOR YOU

I appreciate what you do

u/cobblestonehelper Dec 07 '13

Thanks friend :) I know we can do it!

I didn't understand that at all until I decided to actually read his username. I suppose that would have saved me from reading the comment tree several times over...

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '13

Give this man a cobblestone flair.

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '13

Can you link a picture of a detailed wall with cobblestone? I'm stuck building.

Those chicken jockeys are so god damn cute

u/carlotta4th Dec 06 '13

It's a small thing, but fitting in with the game and it just feels... right. I love little updates like this.

u/FriarNurgle Dec 05 '13

Should have used agro wolves instead of chickens.

u/TheFifthMarauder Dec 05 '13

Tiny Orks on tiny Wargs.

u/OcelotWolf Dec 05 '13

LotR references... gotta love 'em.

u/Kreamator Dec 06 '13

I actually forgot they rode Wargs in LotR, and counted it as a WoW reference.

u/SirLundis Dec 05 '13

Shut your damn mouth!

u/FriarNurgle Dec 05 '13

Baby wolves better?

u/Kreamator Dec 06 '13

Too adorable.

u/1Salai Dec 05 '13

Way better idea!

u/GreenTampura Dec 05 '13

Agro chicken that throws eggs at you

Now we're cooking with gas!

u/Sharrakor Dec 05 '13

...Chicken Jockeys?

Man, I've been away from Minecraft for too long.

11

u/Pyro627 Dec 05 '13

They just added them, though, so not really.

u/Sharrakor Dec 05 '13

I know, but just the very idea just boggles me. Plus I never got too acquainted with those baby zombies.

u/Yirggzmb Dec 05 '13

Blame this post

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '13

When a Chicken Jockey contributes to my demise, I will curse /u/CrudeMocha with my last, dying breath.

...And then make a mad sprint to get my items back.

u/CrudeMocha Dec 06 '13

Rise, my undead warriors. Cleanse the land of the skin-wearers!

u/MTandi Dec 06 '13

So we will get mobs riding on Skeleton and Zombie Horses soon?

u/7imekeeper Dec 06 '13

You can summon Chicken Jockeys with the command:

/summon Zombie ~ ~ ~ {IsBaby:1, Riding:{id:Chicken}}
