Venomous snakes

Biome specific venomous snakes. Any item used to defend against them would become poisoned, and inflict poison on who or whatever was attacked by the weapon, or who ate the food used to fend off the snake, i.e. poisoned apple, potato, carrot, etc. Even cakes and pies and meats. If you defend with a bottle, you can collect venom. This can be used to make poisoned items, or be combined with a horses food and fed to a horse, which will give the horse temporary weakness, and allow you to collect antidote from it with a bottle. Fangs and skins could be drops from killing the snakes, used for revised or new potion recipes. The fangs could also be combined with armor to give it thorns, or with a sword to give it poison.

    That would be cool, but what if we could tame them with a flute? You’d need three pieces of iron. You could tame them, and they could poison the mobs you attack, killing them faster. You could also harvest antidote from a tame snake.

    Cool!  Maybe adders could be used for the extreme hills biome, they would be docile while they sunbathe on the hills,  at night they would hunt (since there are no mice they can hunt rabbits).  The severity of the poison would depend on the type of snake.  Maybe they can introduce antidotes for cave spiders and pufferfish?

    Venomous snake sounds cool, but all the added features you suggested are too much. Would be nice if we just break tall grass and have a chance of being poisoned and having a snake spawn.

    I love this idea! I think it would also be cool if the cats were scared of snakes, so they will avoid them at all costs.

    Really cool! What if there were neutral snakes too? This way you would have to hit them for them to attack you.

    They sould be neutral mobs, since hostile mobs have to be fantasy mobs

    I think the snakes venom should be able to turn in to a powerful medicine if combined with honey.

    I don’t think that snakes should attack mobs. Most are scared of anything that is bigger than it. Maybe poison for the less Venomous snakes and wither for the more deadly ones

    this would be a great idea! they could drop snake teeth which you could trade with a new type of villager called the jeweler. a venomous one could live in the desert or the jungle etc.

    It sounds really cool, but it would be cool if you could tame them and have an army of poisonous snakes. It would also be good if they did not attack you unless you hurt them first.

    Me encanta la idea, me gustan algo como lo de los zorros que cuando los pones en nieve se convierten en zorros árticos lo mismo, pero con las serpiente pero en vez de nieve arena a lo que me refiero es que si pones una serpiente en un desierto se convierte en una serpiente de cascabel que al acercarnos hace el típico ruido de las serpientes de cascabel

    I am scared of snakes. If they came to Minecraft I would hate them. Please don't add snakes.

    Snakes should spawn in deserts and badlands.

    Snakes should also be found in temples to make them more dangerous. There could be a desert snake in the desert temple and a jungle snake in the jungle temple. They would guard the temple and you would have to kill them to get inside.

    Great idea! You could also craft leather armor from the snake skins.

    I think it would be cool to have 3 or so variants of snakes, but most are too scared of you too attack, so maybe the desert variant could be a rattlesnake (venomous), while the jungle variant is a harmless python and a plains variant being a cornsnake or garter snake. It would also be cool if you could make them pets
