Monkeys

under review

The jungle feels really empty, the current mobs spawning there dont add to the jungle feel. How about adding jungle animals like monkeys that spawn high up in the trees(could be friendly and curious like the dolphin, if you give one a fruit he can lead you to a jungle temple), caimans in rivers and will attack you once you touch the same body of water they are in and maybe drop scales for a jungle themed armor(maybe alligators can spawn in swamps too), a juguar that will come after you and drop its claws for a new jungle themed weapon,

    I love the idea of monkeys leading a player to jungle temples.

    If you’re gonna add monkeys, they might as well be Proboscis Monkeys as they’d be the second most humanoid creature in the game (By Villager standards, they seem to fill the role of humanoids.)

    This is a very confusing post. Could you just make it about monkeys?

    • Good idea. 
    • I think that the monkeys can attack like pigmen. 
    • The apes should be in colonies.

    I'd love chimps aswell even though they are apes. They could spawn in groups and fight other groups of chimps.

    Great idea! But a Jaguar should also drop jaguar fur and meat!

    Monkeys should be shy mobs but they would have a desire to randomly steam one item from you if you approach them too much.

    I think if they add monkeys, they should definitely add banana "trees" too. If you tame a monkey with a banana, it can ride on your shoulder, and if you give it a map while it's doing so, it will fill out your map for you as you walk. This would leave your offhand free while exploring. Perhaps monkeys could also open and close doors

    Yes yes yes!! I always wanted this! Maybe there could be a rare type of monkey like a red one just like the rare brown panda and the pink sheep! The baby monkeys would also ride on their parents back too! I like the backpack idea when you tame the monkey and it could ride your back like a backpack and have its own inventory... There should also be real pirate ships with pirates that have  parrots and monkeys and the monkeys would have an eyepatch, a pirate hat, and a gold chain on them and would also steal from the pirates as well!

    There should also be evil monkeys (kind of like the evil pandas) that throw things at you (would do like 1 heart of damage) and try to knock you off trees

    I really want Monkeys in jungle biomes. Tame them with bananas.

    I think players should be able to tame them but won't follow the player like a panda. I also think there should be 3 different sizes of them. Large, Medium, and Small (Baby Sized). I also think baby monkeys should be able to ride the adult monkeys and be able to stack up to 3 at a time. Just like baby Piglins riding on baby Hoglins. Next, I think baby monkeys should be able to roll and do a handstand. At last, I propose that monkeys should be able to hang from trees with there feet and be able to climb and swing from tree to tree.

    Monkeys should tamper with redstone they find, whether its built by the player or in the jungle temples.

    Monkeys could pick up sticks and hit the same block as the player (imitate him). And it could be a rare, golden monkey.

    Sounds cool! I think that maybe you could tame them with bananas, but they wouldn't be tamed the same way a dog would and instead, more like a fox. Like, they wouldn't follow you but if they saw you get attacked then they would defend you. I would hope they'd hit decently hard. And have a chance to hold wooden tools (like monkeys in real life). And if not already assumed I'm hoping they'd be a Neutral mob

    I like the jungle themed armor it can be about as power full as iron but gives you cool buffs, we should do that with all biomes/dimensions.

    I have two suggestions for monkeys.

    The first is that the puppies, when generated, would stay on their mothers' backs, as they do in nature.

    The second suggestion is that they should live in communities, as they are social animals.

    What if monkeys stole what you were holding in your hand like real life and run away so you had to bait them with bananas to get it back

    A great addition to your suggestion,would be making monkeys in minecraft to hang on vines with one hand or their tales,and jump from one tree to another,that would be awesome!
