Termites

Official reply

Termites: Will invade places with lots of wood (villages and your house) if you happen to live in a savannah, dessert or mesa. They are too small to hit with a sword so you will have to enlist the help of the native animals. In the dessert and mesa you will find meerkats, to lead them back to an infestation you will have to crouch in front of them with a dead termite which you find where the infestation is (since termites don't have long lifetimes) if you scare the meerkat  it will retreat in to it's burrow which is marked on a block by a black hole when it comes back out again in about 10 seconds you have to try again if you manage to tame it  because it is a wild animal will lose interest and run away if you take to long so lead it to the infestation quickly (it follows you like a wolf but for a limited time). To bring an ostrich back it is much simpler just lead it to the infestation with wheat or seeds (like a cow or pig). When either mob reaches the infestation it will run around crunching the bugs until there are none left then it will run away in search of more termites. leaving you to clean up the damage. Maybe if you save a village they could reward you with gifts similar to the ones you would find in blacksmith chests.

    I wish there are modern stuff in 1.21 update for Minecraft like: transportation, appliances, devices and furniture, because Minecraft is boring without modern stuff.

    I would really like the termites to transform various woods into land, or infertile land, it would be possible to make land farms since if you want land in the game you have to collect it and that ends up ugly the terrain.

    Termites are a good thing to add because it’s another reason for protection

    I like the idea but nothing with termites destroying wood should be added because then if they are highly invasive, most starter houses and bases can be easily destroyed and make the experience less fun.

    Las termitas no están tan mal le daría a las sábanas un poco más de ambientación pero programar algo pequeño en dispositivos pequeños tendría que ser un pixel

    Termites look, sound, and works terrible. They are worms, they are terrifying and real life disasters, and they break blocks. I've got chills when thinking about termites in Minecraft - you know, creepers are kinda cute, spiders in minecraft are acceptable, and silverfishes does not break that number of blocks.

    Termites are naturally considered to break woods - and that's a disaster, but not in great relation to the player, just like fires. I think restricting their infestation behavior and letting them drop wood items, like previous comments metioned, are good compensations to this.

    Also, making them look better is also important - such as making them round (blocky), large and slow creatures like bees. People are naturally afraid of termites, at least I feel really upset. Thus PLEASE make them cute enough to be accepted.
