Scratch

Can i be a tester?

I'll mostly test too but I can provide ideas. I got some when this project was still a bit active but then it died... D:

Anyway, a tropical biome would be awesome. It'd have palmtrees which you can get wood and coconuts from. Coconuts would heal 2.5-ish HP. The "special mob" for this biome would be a crab, which is passive but can damage you 1 HP if you bother it.

Y'know what, why not add special mobs for every biome? If it's not too much work of course. Foxes or grizzly bears for forests, penguins for snowy ones, lions for savannas, etc.

As for musical instruments how would they work? Maybe I can make some MIDI jingles for each, you can play MIDI within batch right (launch a program that plays it, at least)? Oh and the records! I got ideas for like 10 records, including their songs    Some I remember are:

Brown: Classical. Found in dungeons/caves.
Blue: Blues. Found in dungeons/caves.
Yellow (?): Jazz. Found in dungeons/caves.
Cyan: Country. Found in the overworld.
White (?): Calm Ambient. Found in overworld.
Black: Creepy Ambient. Found in overworld but only at night.
[no color, I actually just came up with this]: EPIC BATTLE MUSIC. Found in overworld but only at night. Something like this at 2:12, but MIDIfied 
Green: Epic electronic (Drum N Bass maybe!  ). Found in Nether.
Red: Hard Rock. Found in Nether
Grey: Heavy Metal. Found in Nether.

The funny thing about this is: In dungeons you find only relatively old genres. In overworld on day, calm stuff. At night, awesome battle/horror music. And in Nether, the heavy stuff lml

Maybe as an easter egg, make the "epic battle music" record play automatically if you're fighting many mobs with 0.5 HP at night on Hard >:D

Ideas for instruments:

-Guitar (or Sitar, lol): Built with wood and string. Can somehow attract passive mobs maybe, playing a country-ish tune.
-Pan Flute: Built with reeds (aka sugar cane) and a little string. Can enchant creepers, making them passive for a while.
-Horn: Built with... I dunno really, maybe wood and... Bones or another hard material. Serves as a call that attracts all mobs. In multiplayer (if you implement it) every player "hears" it from a long distance, serving as a method to call players too.
-Ritual Drums: Built with wood, a valuable material (gold?) and leather for the top. Playing it has a chance of invoking a random normally aggressive mob, except he attacks anyone you attack, or that attacks you. Low durability to avoid overusing.

Bump. 

Any ideas? I'm adding mobs and crafting now, but I have terrain generating on another computer...

I'll help, I have mac, so I can help make it Mac Compatible, which shouldn't be that hard.

I could also help with code.

May I please test it?

Obviously anyone who knows DOS code could just edit the .bat file.  They would have to upload the whole thing though, not just part of it.

Sorry, but it would have to be uploaded with the main file because people wouldn't know where to put the code.

Techno, I KNOW you're online! Must... Program... NAO.
