Mosquito

New hostile mob that has 15 hearts and attacks all mobs that exist IRL and players. It is an arthropod and gives half a heart of damage.

    This idea would be great if you made it so it could spawn in swamp biomes, fresh water or from cauldrons left outside. You could also make it so that they lay their eggs in water and fish will jump to eat them. It could also be a great way of making bats useful. You could make it so bats fly out of the caves at night to hunt mosquitos and for every mosquito they consume they could drop guano which could be placed in the composter to make bonemeal.

    Furthermore if one is bitten by a mosquito one could contract itchiness which would slow you for 1 to 3 days or  Malaria and Yellow fever. Malaria would last for 7 days and make your hunger meter go down 3x faster and yellow fever would make your  hunger meter go down 2x faster and turn you yellow which would scare away villagers. 

    With this idea one could also create bat houses which would encourage bats to live close to your house so they eat the mosquitos.

    15 health is too OP for a mosquito

    I was just barely thinking about how in minecraft the bugs are all much bigger than in reality, then I saw this. I think it would be great, and I love the idea about bats hunting them! It would be great if the bats spawned in the sky at night to fight the mosquitoes, then despawned in the morning. And, true to mosquitoes being the most annoying animals in real life, they wouldn't drop anything. >:)

    I would have it be able to transfer potion effects. The color of it's abdomen could indicate what potion effect

    I love all of your ideas for this mob! I agree with a lot of them. Thank you for your feedback!

    I think Mosquitoes should have 6 hearts, only attack passive (non-hostile) mobs and only spawn in swamps and mangrove swamps. But I will vote anyway!

    You should also make it so that frogs attack mosquitoes too. Another idea: Spiders and cave spiders are hostile to mosquitoes; when a mosquito is within 10 blocks of a spider or cave spider, it will forget about its current target and attack the mosquito instead

    Also, the player receives the "Unlikely Allies" achievement if they kill a mosquito that is currently in combat with a spider or cave spider.
