Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

In-game mobestiary

The bestiary is a real-life Minecraft book, and I think it could be interesting in-game. This is inspired by the Ice and Fire mod's bestiary, with some new ideas.
Getting it

  • Craft using a book and a rotten flesh/bone/spider eye

Using it

  • It can be read like a book and quill
  • There is a contents page at the start to go straight to an entry of your choosing
  • You can also use the arrows like a book and quill
  • The text is an exact copy of the original book, and the images are a Minecraft-style version of the original. The zombie pigman one must be modified slightly so it fits as a zombified piglin. New pages must be made for the new mobs,

Upgrading it/Mobestiary Pages

  • You can upgrade it with Mobesitiary Pages. Either use an anvil or put it into a lecture and right-click on it.
  • A mobestiary page has a data tag based on what mob it is, and you can't have the same page twice in the same mobestiary. The mob is shown in its tooltip, too.
  • Mobestiary pages can be gotten from: archaeology (most basic ones), dungeons (dungeon mobs), Nether fortresses/bastions (Nether mobs, only fortresses contain blazes/wither skelles), woodland mansions (illagers) and pillager towers (raid mobs)
  • You can also get a page by using a spyglass in your main hand and a piece of paper on your offhand. Scope in on a mob and you will write a page slowly about it. The paper is replaced with a "part written mobestiary page" and will have its per cent of research shown in its tooltip, and it's subject.

    Ya this is great , make it like other games that have this feature. Stats, drops, percentages of drop chances , the biomes it appears in, and many other things could really be great with this idea. I always go online looking for information on which mobs drop what it'd be great if it said like drops 1 gunpowder with 22% of happening. All the info it could hold would be great cause Minecraft itself sometimes just doesn't explain anything to the player themselves. How to craft or what certain item even do to begin with lol, like I said td be great to have just info Right there while your playing.

    I love this concept. But I personally think it would be better to have it as something like Terraria where when you encounter a mob, or maybe defeat it, it will add that mob's page, and I also feel like it should be something like advancements, where you don't need to craft it, it's just part of the game and every player has it
