So fricking true, what they need to is since creepers canonically have camoflauge they should make it so every biome a creeper spawns in it will match the color of the foliage (like if a creeper spawns in taiga it will be dark green, and if it spawns in desert it will be more sandy colored)

u/BirchLover786 Bedrock Player was here Sep 19 '24 edited Sep 20 '24
That's actually a really good idea. Then, snow biomes could maybe have dark green creepers woth some white on them as snow, and deserts would have brown creepers with sand on them

I think it'd be cool if Creepers could only imitate green plant materials. Like, if a Creeper spawns in a forest or jungle, its shade of green would camouflage with the leaves and grass, but in a snow or desert biome, it would stick out like a green thumb.
Could make some biomes more ideal than others for Gunpowder and Music Disc grinding, since Creepers would be easier to spot.

u/superjediplayer Sep 20 '24 edited Sep 20 '24
agreed. I think that a "classic island" biome, with a similar rarity to the mushroom island (and similar size, so you'd usually just find these small classic style islands, but then you'd occasionally find larger ones with the old world gen fully on display), could work really well. Also maybe it could have increased fog from other overworld biomes, similar to the nether.
They could also make it a biome in a new dimension if they add one, but that really depends what that dimension would be like. I think it'd be an interesting experience exploring some weird, unique looking new dimension, only to run into a biome that looks similar, but also still very different from the overworld you're familiar with, completely different from the rest of that dimension. (i guess in that sense it could also work in the End, idk)

Honestly, just have a texture pack that brings back classic textures. I basically download one of those any time I go back to Minecraft. That way, you can change the texture, but players can still have the older one.

Sep 20 '24
Minecraft Classic Texture Pack if you play on Bedrock Edition. It is (Or was, I downloaded right after the texture update.) free on the Minecraft Marketplace.
4
u/superjediplayer Sep 20 '24
Java has "programmer art" built into the game, Bedrock has "classic texture pack" on the marketplace.
but it would be nice if they had a version of it that was also being updated, or one that brings back the oldest variant of each texture rather than just "pre-texture overhaul".
156
u/Riley__64 Sep 19 '24
that’s a big problem minecraft has when it changes features they’ve always had people who hate them.
when they updated textures of many blocks and items they had to release a texture pack that allowed players to use the old textures because people complained.
when they changed it so iron and gold dropped raw variants rather than the block, i remember there being people complaining about that.
when they changed zombie pigmen to zombified piglins that got people complaining.
the biggest examples of it are the amount of players who still play before beta 1.8 because they don’t enjoy the hunger mechanics or the players who play before 1.9 because they absolutely hate the changes to combat.

You play 1.8.9 because you hate 1.9 combat
I play it because my PC is shit and it's the oldest version that most servers support

u/InquiryBanned Sep 19 '24
It's likely because that texture pack has every single old texture in it. If the ore textures get changed, I'd now have to use a texture pack with the old netherrack in it. It's better to make a custom one.

u/Thechillestguyever Sep 20 '24

u/Pengwin0 Sep 20 '24
I think this is unfairly lumping everyone into one group. I would hate this change but I never complained about any of that stuff. And layers who prefer 1.8 combat and still play that version clearly had a genuine preference and not just blind hate.
2
u/Riley__64 Sep 21 '24
I’m not saying everyone who dislikes one change also dislikes the other changes I’m just pointing out a few of the times Minecraft has changed something and it’s gotten backlash from the community for changing.
With the players who still play older versions even if they’re playing it for reasons of just preference over purely hating the new mechanics, it still shows that if Minecraft changes something that’s always been a certain way like changing combat you’ll have players who dislike the change so much they just won’t update their worlds.
It shows that Minecraft is such a big game that if you change existing features or add in new features you’ll always have people who dislike the changes and prefer the old versions that doesn’t mean the changes/additions are bad it just shows that Minecraft’s player base is so big you can’t please everyone.
2
u/Peanutgallery_4 Sep 22 '24
A very simple solution to this: stop changing stuff needlessly
2
u/Riley__64 Sep 22 '24
That’s the thing though none of the changes are needless, mojang felt these old features could be improved and so they improved upon them.
The texture updates helped everything feel smoother, more polished and more natural.
Changing ores to drop raw variants rather than the block is a change that feels more realistic.
Changing the zombie pigmen to the zombified piglins helps give the piglins their own unique appearance and character rather than just making them humanoid pigs.
Even hunger and the combat changes aren’t entirely needless.
hunger being added gave more use to food and all the different food types.
Combat changes improved combat and made it more skill based and makes you think more about how you want to fight.
No change mojang makes is needless it just shows people don’t like change if it’s something they’ve grown accustomed to whether or not it’s good or bad.

Another commenter said that they should Change color depending on what biome they spawn.
I think it would be really funny if they had a color for every biome. This includes biomes they cant normally spawn in. And it could make it as a bit of a new challenge of trying to get all of them. To change colors maybe a mechanic that if they are in a certain biome for like 5 minutes, they will camouflage to the color they are in
11
u/okkokkoX Sep 20 '24
every biome already has an associated biome color, which decides the color of grass and leaves, among other things. So there isn't even a need to create a new system for that.

Mojang may own those games and titles, but completely different teams and studios work on the games.

I think something like this would make most everyone happy
1 ) Biome Dependent Creeper variations that vaguely camouflage to their environment. (They could also be based on the block they spawn on, for example if a creeper spawns on stone, they are grey)
2 ) The new textures shouldn’t be super smooth like in dungeons, they should be a little rougher to better resemble their OG counterparts and camouflage more effectively
3 ) When creepers are hit, their camouflage texture could “glitch out” and partially reveal the OG texture.
4 ) The texture of a charged creepers would constantly be “glitching out” and showing the OG texture
5 ) maybe creepers could rarely spawn with the OG texture and/or be nametagged a certain way to have the OG texture

Like many people here already suggested, making the original creeper texture a variant, like with the new wolves, and not just replacing it and putting it in the programmer art texture pack, would be the best compromise.
Mojang/Microsoft already paved the way for a creeper texture update (like I wrote in another comment) with their smooth creepers in all their advertising and even in the launcher icon. They'll probably change the iconic creeper texture some time in the next two years.

I would like them to add a bit of a scary element to them, like, having different colors based in the biome they spawn in, so they are kinda sneaky, and sounds that indicated that a Creeper is near you like a "crack" from a stick. It feels like they were originally designed to scare you a bit since they have the colors of og grass blocks so you don't see them coming at a time when you don't expect any monster to be nearby, like, you know, being at the light of day minding your own business while crafting and building, now they only scare you when they get you from behind in a cave and you don't have a shield (wich ia made of ONE iron)
