Proposal to make baby versions of hostile mobs more playable and cute by introducing taming mechanics or balanced weaknesses.
Details for specific mobs:
-
Baby Spider: smaller and rounder, not poisonous as a baby. Could be tamed: follows the player and defends against smaller mobs, similar to dog.
-
Baby Skeleton: weaker with reduced damage and limited health. Ideal as a “tutorial mob” for new players.
-
Baby Creeper: tameable with the new flower. Two possible options for balancing:
Option 1: Explosion does only 1 block of damage.
Option 2: Does not explode as a baby, only when grown.
Does not defend the player, but follows them and acts as a cute companion. Heals when fed with gunpowder or sand. -
Baby Enderman: neutral until attacked, limited teleportation, with possible positive interactions (e.g., gifting blocks or special items).
Reasoning:
These changes would add visual variety and gameplay options without breaking balance, making the game more accessible, fun, and cute—even for younger players.
