Blood Scent (plugin)

[dodo2000107]

I found this mod, not bukkit compatible (as of yet). I figured it could make an interesting addition to the HPMcore, if you find it interesting. It's currently only for the vanilla minecraft server platform and ony 1.8.1

Features:
* Enables pathfinding and Blood Scent Awareness on hostiles except endermen
* Each time a player loses health, an invisible scent is dropped that entities use as a point they can pathfind to
* Scents can be noticed from a range of 64 blocks, but lowers as the scent decays
* Hostiles use the usual 16 block awareness range, and pursue you until they can't see you for a full 30 seconds

Gameplay difference results:
* When you get hurt, staying in the area brings great risk in getting attacked by more hostiles that could smell the blood
* Always watch your back, something may know how to get to you

Future:
* Bukkit compatible version
* ModLoaderMP compatible version
* Configuration, rest of features from SSP Zombie Awareness
* Scent strengths that depend on how much health was lost, removing scent spawning from just half a heart
* Optional client side mod to enhance experience (blood visuals) maybe

The quote is from the minecraft forums topic. There is a webpage for this mod aswell : http://www.coros.us/mods/zombieawareness" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Please reply with what you think!

Sounds interesting. Reminds me of my n00bie guest days getting PWND by mobs XD

A good idea, to make it a bit harder to survive.
If anyone of you guys is able to code that, feel free to include it to the HPMCore.

I've said so on IRC before, that I need to actually work on something to learn it, I could work on this as a learning experience perhaps. It would be fun to be able to contribute to the HPMCore.
