Bit of a more pop-culture one:

Nametagging an ocelot with "Calvin" causes it to display a Hobbs skin^* as well as setting its Trusting flag to true (if not already so).
[​I thought using Hobbs as the name tage was a bit simplistic.]

I've not thought through breeding Hobbs ocelots.... maybe the kit tales its skin from a randomly selected parent….


^*My attempt at this is here: Hobbs as an ocelot

EDIT: I've realized that this offers a fish-free means of converting ocelots to 'trusting', but don't think this is likely to be exploited.

any AHIT (a hat in time) reference would be funny
like, maybe you have a rare chance to encounter snatcher/ subcon forest?

Idea: Traincrisis minecart easter egg

The sassori parable

GIGA MONTY!

You can find a chest with god armour inside of one of the end crystal towers, so people will have to mine hundreds of blocks of obsidian in some situations, surely this drives people crazy...

A couple of other ideas:

Sheep that spawn in a flower forest biome have a small chance of spawning with golden fleeces [1.5%? 'stealing' 0.5% from each of Black, Gray, & Light Grey] and drop gold nuggets instead of wool.
  Option A} gold sheep are sterile [This option might encourage passive mob farming.]
  Option B} gold sheep breed, but lambs are always the color of the non-gold parent. (Two gold parents required to get a gold lamb)

Having a mob named Ulysses [and/or Odysseus] in a boat changes the boat's texture to stone. (No effect other than cosmetic and is removed when the mob is no longer aboard.)

Nametagging a witch Circe enables the renamed witch to turn villagers into swine. [A Circe-witch throws only a slpash potion of transformation.]
[Possibly also illagers as this would allow renaming to encourage 'friendly-fire' incidents in a raid.]


Any guesses as to my recent reading material…

Whenever a cat sits on one of your chests at midnight the cat will stuff itself into the chest as an item you can hold
works like a spawn egg

1. Give sniffers a rare chance to dig up old seeds which grow into old wheat which can be made into old bread. When you eat the bread it restores 5 health points (2 and a half hearts).



2. If you continue development during and for 1.21, make armadillos turn red when renamed “Mighty”.

3. When piglins spawn in warped forests (bastions can generate in warped forests so it’s survival friendly) give them a more pale skin color (like the horde of the spore from legends).

4. Renaming zombified Piglins “Thx Xaphobia” makes them look like zombie pigmen.

Adding Easter Eggs to programming is a time honored tradition but also has a long and storied history of issues involving disconnect between actual and intended audiance (the problem with adding 'eggs' people will 'get').

Case in point 'Johnny vindicators' — for most people my age (down to maybe 20 years younger) The Shining was sufficiently iconic that the reference was likely to be understood; how many of the millenials 'got' this without prompting is open to question.

Given that you're producing MC content, 'eggs' making reference to prior MC versions may produce the most 'hits'….

Even so, whether a farm with promimnent signage reading

would be understood (much less appreciated).


Similarly, loading a dropper with the 5 planks and a shovel pattern needed to craft a boat during some of the old snapshots might well not be recognized.

A constructed MC-'fossile' of two human feet with a sign "Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!" may or may not be understood (Knowledge of Shelley's "Ozymandias" varying with age and education ).
[​The same might be said of a gorilla statue in a room full of barrels.]


Interesting idea in any case 🍻

A small Kirby plush!
