A Guide to the Mysterious Four Mobs in Minecraft

Minecraft - Friends and Mobs

A lesser-known fact of Minecraft is that the overall game hides a few mystery mobs. These are special mobs which can be brought in to the game with a /summon command, but otherwise, don’t come in normal gameplay. These particular mobs are the Giant, the Killer Bunny, the Zombie Horse, and the Illusioner. Let’s have a deeper look at all of them.

The Giant

Giants are essentially over-sized Zombies. They appear specifically like Zombies, but are near to 12 blocks high, making them six times how big is their smaller sized Zombie cousins. Technically, their spawn conditions are light levels higher than 11 and significantly less than 8, producing them mathematically difficult to spawn under usual conditions.

Giants now have no Artificial Intelligence. The result of that is that they always encounter south when summoned and stay that method, never wandering, turning their mind, chasing the player, or giving an answer to damage aside from taking knockback. Their viewing path can only just be modified with commands.

Consider them as giant Zombie adornments and nothing else.

The Killer Bunny

The Killer Bunny (previously referred to as The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog, which really is a mention of the scene in a movie ) is a variant of the rabbit specific to Java Edition that’s hostile to all or any players. Its fur is 100 % pure white with blood-red eye that are horizontal, in comparison to a standard rabbit’s vertical eyes. It could only end up being spawned using the a summon command. It seems with a nameplate over its mind reading “The Killer Bunny””

If the killer bunny sees any participant within a 16-block radius, it’ll hop rapidly towards the player, considerably faster when compared to a normal rabbit. It moves in a method similar compared to that of a spider. Once it closes in, it’ll jump at the participant, dealing a good amount of harm. If the participant strikes at the killer bunny, it’ll run away for a short moment, then go back to lunging at the participant. Killer rabbits are also immune to the Thorns enchantment.

If it cannot look for a participant, the killer bunny will actively look for and attack any wolves as well, including tamed canines. These wolves will, subsequently, attack the killer bunny, resulting in a vicious fight.

On tranquil difficulty, the killer bunny won’t de-spawn, despite its hostile character. It will still strike wolves and tamed wolves, however, not the player.

Naming a rabbit Toast (using the name tag or a renamed spawn egg) will re- consistency it to really have the appearance of a black colored dutch, with a large black and white patch and black fur around the face than the natural black and white spotted rabbit. Other than its name and skin, Toast behaves exactly like it would if it were unnamed. When two Toast rabbits are bred, their offspring do not have the Toast pattern, it has a pattern consistent with the parents’ initial coloring. Like the killer bunny, Toast will not spawn naturally.

Zombie Horse

Zombie horses are just like regular horses, but with a green-skinned zombie appearance, with completely black eyes. They do not spawn naturally in the game and can only be created with a /summon command or with their spawn egg.

Illusioner

Illusioners are unused hostile mobs. They are one of the three villagers, which are offshoot villagers – the others being the vindicator and the evoker.

Illusioners can only be spawned using the /summon command. Currently, there is no illusioner spawn egg.

When killed by a player, any naturally spawned gear (including their bow) has a 8. 5% (9. 5% with Looting I, 10. 5% with Looting II and 11. 5% with Looting III) chance of dropping and will drop with a random durability.

Illusioners will attack players, villagers and iron golems within about 12 blocks. It will attack with its spells, and with its bow.

The illusioner has two spells: a spell that blinds its opponent, and a spell that summons duplicates and makes the illusioner invisible.

The blindness spell will only be cast if the regional difficulty is greater than 2.
Upon first engaging a new opponent, an illusioner casts a Blindness effect that lasts for 20 seconds. It signals this attack by raising its arms and generating black smoke. The illusioner will not cast this spell more than once on the same opponent, unless it has first shifted its attention to another opponent, and then back to that original opponent.

This spell resets the illusioner’s spell cooldown to 1 second, and resets the cooldown for the blinding spell to 9 seconds.

As long as an illusioner is engaged in combat, it will cast an
Invisibility effect on itself that lasts 60 seconds, and will refresh the effect whenever the Invisibility’s time runs out. It signals this spell by raising its arms and generating blue smoke.

When an illusioner becomes invisible – through this or any other method – it creates four false duplicates of itself. These hover and waver at short distances from the actual invisible illusioner, though they will not really space themselves out until the first time the illusioner is usually ever attacked. These duplicates face in exactly the same direction as the illusioner, and move somewhat in step with the original, sometimes appearing to no-clip through walls, ceilings and floors. They will use the shooting animation whenever the original uses its bow, though only the real illusioner can shoot and be damaged.

When the real illusioner is damaged, its duplicates almost all snap back to where the real illusioner is, then quickly snap back out to new positions, signaling the hit.

If an invisible illusioner receives the Glowing effect, all of the duplicates will glow, while the true illusioner will remain invisible.

The duplicates dissolve once the illusioner’s Invisibility effect terminates.

This spell resets the illusioner’s spell cooldown to 1 1 seconds and resets the cooldown for the invisibility spell to 17 seconds.

London has Big Ben and Parliament!

Girl in Paris

Paris is the city of lights…and love. Oh, and wine and cheese, of course!

Perhaps I should just visit both over a long weekend.

Julie Gayet and Francois Hollande Affair

Gayet and Hollande

The French president’s reputation continues to suffer: the economic crisis, mass discontent throughout the country, and now a love affair with the actress Julie Gayet. Of course Hollande himself denies this information, asking us to recall that now he is in a relationship with a journalist Valerie Trierveyler for the sake of whom he abandoned his school love and an intraparty opponent Segolene Royal. By the way, he has four children from the latter.

This information came out when the edition of the tabloid Closer published seven pages with pictures and revelations about the alleged romance of the French President with a popular 41 year old actress Julie Gayet, who starred in more than 50 films. Rumors about their affair were around the Internet for months.

Julie Gayet

After that Francois Hollande threatened to sue the magazine, because he thinks that this publication is an “infringe on privacy.” But before that, In March last year, Gaye sent a complaint to the prosecutor’s office in Paris, accusing several bloggers and various websites spreading rumors (if you remember I’ve told that the rumors about their affair spread in the Internet). However, this led to nothing. What’s more interesting for me, however, is that the President actually didn’t deny all these rumors.

As for me, I think that Hollande’s behavior resembles the French amorous adventures of his predecessor Nicolas Sarkozy. And of course this new accusation of love affair and relationships with the famous actress Julie Gayet, can negatively affect not only President’s family life but also his political career. As far as I know, Francois Hollande has now one of the lowest ratings in the history of the presidency in France – no more than 30%. Hollande is being regularly criticized by his own citizens, and it is entirely predictable that this new threat to the reputation of the President is connected with the desire to set up a negative attitude towards him from the rest of society .

I do not know whether these rumors are true, maybe Julie Gayet and Francois Hollande affair is just a fiction. However, there is no secret that the Western media, which have quite a considerable practice of protecting their rights regarding the information they publish in the court, would not have printed the information that cannot be confirmed. And if it is printed, it means they have specific legal arguments to prove that the article is not just an invasion of privacy, that it is on the contrary socially important information. Well, we’ll see.

Pottermore or Potterless?

Pottermore Logo
Like everyone else on Planet Earth, I’ve read the different Harry Potter books and seen the movies, and I consider myself a pretty big Harry Potter fan. Let’s just say I win a lot of trivia games when Harry Potter comes up. So I was pretty excited last year with Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling announced Pottermore, an online site dedicated to extending the Harry Potter experience. It wasn’t quite clear what it would be all about but there were rumors of participating in the world of Harry Potter with an online game, like an MMO or something similar.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get into the beta testing group, which was a disappointment, so like everyone else I patiently waited for Pottermore to be available to the public, and this weekend, it was released. I was able to create my account on Saturday morning. There was a little initial disappointment when the system said I would have to wait a bit for the invite, but it arrived a few hours later and just like that, I was finally in Pottermore.

So let’s be clear: Pottermore isn’t much of a game, especially if you’re comparing it to other more elaborate MMOs like World of Warcraft or Rift. It doesn’t even stack up as a game against simpler kids casual games like Wizard 101 or Poptropica. What it really is: a kind of extended reading game based on the books. The experience is divided into Chapters, just like the books and each chapter is a series of “Moments.” It’s in these moments that you interact with the scenes, clicking around to find hidden items, galleons, and collectible chocolate frog cards. You can also unlock special new stories and essays from J.K. Rowling that give more background and insight to Harry Potter. Going through all seventeen chapters in one sitting is a little tedious, and you might want to look up some Pottermore cheats to help you out if you get stuck.

There are some game elements like wizard’s duels, where you can compete against players from rival houses for points. You can also brew potions for points, but that’s really about it. So while Pottermore was interesting to read and it was fun to learn some new things about the Harry Potter universe, I was kind of left wondering if it’s Pottermore or Potterless.

I’m just amazed

I’m sure, many of you are wondering if we were just like our kids when we were kids. But I’m just amazed how creative and witty they become over time.

It was this instance when the local librarian comes to the daycare and does a special storytime or maybe make craft with the kids. Today we created a snowman made from cotton. My youngest wants to create his own snowman.

Here’s my eldest snowman with the help of mommy.

And here’s my youngest – when I finally saw his snowman, I said “WOW, what are you making over here?”

And his immediate reply was “Mine is a melted Snowman!”.

I’m so proud of him!

Free to Change

One of the nice things about being an adult is that you’ve got freedom to do just about whatever you want to. That includes being free to change. Free to change your ways, old habits, things that get you stuck in a rut. For many of us it’s difficult to make change in our lives but once you unlock your ability to make change without fear of repercussion, then you are truly free.

This was just a random thought, or really a series of thoughts, that I had while I was out shopping for some cheap mattresses for the kids bedrooms today. I think I get pretty deep when I go shopping.
