The Blind

-This is a special type of zombie that spawns underground. It is special for it being the only mob that can't see. Instead it acts on its ability to hear. This could keep players on their toes. Exploring the caves until they spot 'em.  The grey zombie that blends in with the stone. Keep in mind this could be genuinely terrifying to run into. Blending into the stone just waiting to catch you off guard. Yet, we don't want them to blend in too much.

-This zombie contains the same health and attack strength as a regular zombie. It does inflict bblindness making it by far the most treacherous mob yet.

-Strategy. Crouching will make you unoticeable to the Blind. While regularly walking and running will do you nothing. Swinging your pick or any tool alerts them. By lighting a fire the Blind will be attracted and will walk into the fire. 

-Zombies are a signature mob to Minecraft, but very bland. So I created The Blind to replace standard zombies in caves as the adapted version. Standard zombies should be spawning in more standard biomes. Such as Oak, spruce, dark oak forest, and plains. While biomes like desert, snowy, cave, and Taiga biomes should have ccustomary zombies that fit the biome.

-Drops

100% Rotten Flesh

50% Armor (If Wearing)

25% Carrot or cobble stone

5% Haste II Stone Pickaxe (If holding)

1% Blind Head

    Suggested by a fun buddy. 

    How did the blind get here? What was their purpose? All of this was uncovered by a minor called Steve. On his daily routine for diamonds, he uncovered a small dark cavern. Slowly creeping in he found a mysterious monster's spawner. On that monster's spawner, was a torch. Intrigued Steve remove that torch. Out spawned a terrible Zombie in the dark room. Steve began to run as the zombie Chased him. More and more the cave began filling up with the blind. Regular zombies began to flee the caves As the blind continue to chase Steve. Then Steve have been cornered by the blind Steve motionless and still, paralyzed in fear crouched down to floor. As the blind began to walk away. Steve left confused stood up and returned home. That night Steve

    began to study the blind, and came out with countermeasures. One move silently. Two Don't use your tools in their presence unless if you're prepared for combat. Three keep a sharp eye out. As for its purpose it's like any other zombie searching for something to be its next main entrée.

                                                                                                  Suggested as a way to excite readers.

    should make it not notice if you swing but only if you break a block or hit something and make you be able to jump too

    Anything that makes a loud noise will trigger the mob. Jumping, hitting, breaking blocks, placing heavy blocks, swinging of tools, fire, etc..

    Hey, just a question for the community.
    Should I re-design this mob for the deep dark?
    I'll even work on making a visual aid, or a rough sketch.

    Sure that's great, but what if instead of a zombie, It's a old man that spawns in a new structure THE CABIN. blind but he will talk....ish he listens for movement. And when he locks on to you he chases you until you die. He gives the effect blindness when your within 10 blocks. But when you kill him he drops a cloak which when equipped your invisible and make no sound, but gives slowness. The cloak could have a 20% chance of summoning a shadow of the player that follows you but doesn't do damage. Thoughts??????
