Talk:Mob AI

Better name
I think Mob Behavior is a better name for this article. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 07:13, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The goal of this article is to comprehensively cover all the Mobs AI systems and their behavior. Behavior could be a better name, but ultimately, the AI is what allows for their "behavior". This article should document the how the mob AI works or how it allows for specific mob behavior, and analyze the mobs behavior during certain situations. I'm hoping that there will be many scenarios documented here. - Asterick6 04:46, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Edited the skeleton behaviour list
I have replaced "Skeletons will evade the player when hit, and will constantly maintain a certain amount of distance between itself and the mob it is attacking while firing its arrows."

with my own, mentioning that the skeleton will circle the player with a constant radius. If this is incorrect, please let me know. Jishaxe 12:35, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

What are houses to villagers?
So I've done some pretty extensive research to finally answer the question: What is a house to a villager?

Here are all of my notes while experimenting with villagers and houses...

I've had to use PasteBin to submit the data as the wiki completely butchers the formatting. I hope this isn't again any rule and if so please let me know as I'm sure you will. See it here.

Also, since this is my first contribution, I wasn't sure how to directly integrate any of it into the actual page so I'll let someone else do that if there's any interest.

I can also provide screenshots if need be.

 * Looks good, I'm adding it in. Next time just add it as a new subsection under the Villager section. --M0rphzone(talk) (*How to remove sidebar*) 23:48, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

What is a cave to a bat?
From looking at the source code to Minecraft, a bat recognizes a cave (for spawning) if it meets these conditions: I don't want to add this into the page because I am not sure of the info. Also, the calendar seems to used to check the current time in milliseconds, but all else is stored on login. Pokechu22 01:41, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) The Y-Coordinate is less than or equal to 63
 * 2) Something involving a calendar (which I think is checking weather the date is Halloween) that seems to allow bats to spawn in light level 7
 * 3) Fails to spawn if a random number between 0 (inclusive) and the acceptable light level (exclusive)(Which is 4 unless the above is true) is more than the light level at the position the bat is trying to spawn, and otherwise will preform the check for all mobs of weather it is in a wall.


 * The effect of the code involving the calendar is that between October 20 and November 3, bats can spawn in light levels up to 7. The rest of the year, they can spawn in light levels up to 4, and have a 50% chance of not spawning anyway. -- Orthotope 03:28, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
