I finally gave into getting a pre release, because I wanted to play the official release, so yeah Im having a blast with all this stuff in pre-5. I might be a bit delayed but I love the villagers, except the fact that some of the have 2x3 floors made of dirt, with some GRASS on it, while I was fixing it for him and replacing dirt with stone bricks, he wandered off and I have never seen him again.
So what Im doing right now is improving a big NPC village, Ive nearly finished the farming sector, and Ive already finished levelling out the paths, and fixed everything in general. In the end I want to give the village a boundary with huge castle walls that look elegant. Ill replace cobble with stone bricks (good idea or not?), and make the town look awesome. Ill see if I can get spc, to spawn some villagers and put them in respective houses
And Im also having fun with the Snow Golems, I incase them in a 3x3x3 glass cube, I break the middle of it and make a snow golem inside, the snow golem then protect me while I work. And I am planning to have security snow golems around outside the castle walls AND get some of the snow golems in minecarts and patrol them around the village
I will post pics when done
Oh and I hope to incorporate this on our new server too!
