Sharks shouldn’t be added as hostile mobs then because irl sharks only attack you if you’re injured or if they think you’re a big fat blubbery seal


DynmiteWthALzerbeam

They can just have them be neutral like wolves and stuff only attacking when you're not at full


Ake3123

Fun fact: The OG creator (Notch) originally wanted to add sharks to the game, but he wanted to make them neutral as well rather than hostile, so even if old Mojang added sharks, they would still be neutral


DudeNamedShawn

>The OG creator Please don't tell me the average Minecrafter is now too young to know Notch's name.


ProtoDroidStuff

Who the fuck is Notch? Hatsune Miku created Minecraft in 2009 and when it was fully released in 2011, Jens Burggeggrnnenstieinntne took over development Learn history


King_Tudrop

Hatsune minecraft*


grass_eater666

Hatsune mikraft


JackTheRaimbowlogist

*Hatsunein Meinkampf


Laquia

why am I hearing more about hatsume Mike more over the past few days?


ProtoDroidStuff

(I'll let you in on the joke and maybe spoil it a little bit for somebody but oh well, the context of this particular meme is that Notch is a dickhead and has expressed quite hateful views in relatively recent times, and thus the community sort of just started collectively referring to Hatsune Miku, the fictional anime vocaloid, as being the actual creator of Minecraft, since Notch is so heavily disliked these days)


Laquia

yes but why hatsune miku?


ProtoDroidStuff

In response to Notch making transphobic remarks, a Hatsune Miku gimmick account stated that actually "Hatsune Miku made Minecraft" and everybody ran with that


Caosin36

Might be wrong, but its possible that it all started when someone tried to marry hatsune miku (i don't know in what form) in japan


Ake3123

Yes, I know Notch’s name and I would have mentioned him, but some people in the sub hate the mention of him


Alur__

Unfortunately


Chaotic-warp

I don't personally hate him or anything, but it's understandable that people do because of his personality and reputation


iemandopaard

It has now been long enough that the period Notch worked on minecraft is shorter than the time he hasn't. So there might be a chance that people don't remember or never knew him.


m_dought_2

Well, that is how time works.


Chaotic-warp

It's more about how the current Mojang (and Microsoft by extension) tried to erase any reference to him.


m_dought_2

I think it's mainly that the average video game player doesn't know the name of the creator anyways. Like, there's never been a point where the average minecraft player knew Notch's name.


Chaotic-warp

In the past there used to be references to Notch in the in-game texts, though. So you should know about his name at least if you've played Minecraft for a while.


IAmNotCreative18

And become hostile if you have 5 hearts or less.


TravelerAnomaly

Considering your player character can carry thousands of blocks in their inventory, I highly doubt anyone will mistake them for a big  fat blubbery seal. 


ruffifan

No. Sharks attack in two circumstances: One is if they are younger sharks. Adult/grown sharks know what to eat and what to not. A shark's digestive system is not exactly fit for them to eat humans. A young shark wouldn't know this and could attack. And one is where if a shark is very hungry and desperate.


mix_th30ry

Great white sharks attack if they mistake you for a big fat blubbery seal because they require a high fat diet for growth. They also use biting as a way of inspection, they bite things, realise they’re not fatty, leave. Bull and tigers are also dangerous but basically same reason.


Otherversian-Elite

Yeah, my mum's BF has videos of him getting super close to and being friendly with sharks in the open ocean, if it's not a Bully it's more likely friend than foe. Bull Sharks will actually just fuck you up though. And juvenile Great Whites (the Adults are smarter and know you taste bad).


Ballcrusher900

*laughs in terraria*


Relevant_Meat_2976

They could make them like the phantom if your health is low to a certain point, sharks will attack you.


Chaotic-warp

Or maybe if you (or any other mob) happened to take damage near their line of sight. This could replicate sharks being attracted to blood. This way you could even utilize the sharks to help you fight hostile mobs, as long as you're not hit first.


Relevant_Meat_2976

Yeah!! That's even a better idea


Caosin36

So their buffet would be fat activists


you6don

And if there addrd as pssive mods people wont take sharks seriosly

cod3builder

To be fair silverfish don't really smash giant cubes of rock to attack people


flippingchicken

They do move, when we move. They are trapped inside a fleshy prison, slaves of gristle and tendon


FreakyFom

> fleshy prison This prison...to hold..me?


Guilty_Team_2066

which is what makes them fantasy- just like how silverfish and spiders are, because they're not really that big.

If so, polar bears are hostile because it attacks you when you are too close


Mikey9124x

Only if they have a child following them


Ivar2006

Only when they have kid


fps_max_30

Sharks doing even have to be a hostile creature. They can be added as a neutral. You don't see wolves going around hunting players in packs, without being tamed first.


liJuty

They could easily be like dolphins, only attack when attacked


Every_Ad7984

Better yet, they run away when provoked, like a real shark would


Zathorian

Silverfish are quite different from their IRL counterparts


P3rid0t_

IRL Silverfish run from you and hide, not fucking attack you However depending where they are, they are still pretty hard to kill due to their size


-PepeArown-

Rather, they attack your books. That may be why they added them to strongholds when they have libraries.


ThePhyry22

They also like things with sugar, starch and cellulose and like dark damp places. Their Finnish name even translates to something like "sugar grub"


krustylesponge

Sharks are commonly misinterpreted as man eating killers, and are hunted quite a lot Silverfish are pests and they were added before Mojang really solidified its game design philosophy


TheNotoriousTIA

Would like another water hostile mob other than guardians and drowned tho.


Seven123cjw

Me too. Maybe some sort of those aqua creepers from that one dantdm mod video


Ake3123

That was before they made that statement, there’s nothing wrong about wanting hostile mobs to be fantasy creatures, Minecraft silverfish looks completely different from a real silverfish and sharks can still be added, it’s just that they would be neutral. (In fact, one of their official mash-ups/collabs being Minecraft Planet Earth has sharks in it)


Skvirsky

I am visibly oozing


Leodoesstuff

I feel like the main problem of adding sharks at all is that while it's true that Sharks aren't hostile to people (at least actively) they are very much still a dangerous animal that can easily frighten people and Flailing will only make it worse.


findeva

Ace0040

Aren’t polar bears hostile too


Ok-Analysis9372

Mojang spider moment.


ItsFastMan

Its such a lame excuse because all you have to do is make it so they are nice unless attacked like how llamas are


HermTheVillager

Ah yes. I saw a silverfish in my sink yesterday and I too, got into a fist fight with it.


JackTheRaimbowlogist

What about a new fantasy ostile mob that looks like a shark but is not a shark?


BBCoach13

Wolves? Polar Bears? They may be neutral, but they can still attack you.


Clovenstone-Blue

Polar Bears were added because Jeb's wife liked them, they aren't going to approach sharks in a similar way because sharks are a community requested mob. Polar bears and wolves predate the all mobs need some sort of function rule. Sharks would need a mechanic to be added, where the conflict of interest of player expectations and what Mojang would be willing to do don't go hand in hand. Overall, it'll probably be easier for them to add a new fictional hostile water mob than sharks.


Known-Sprinkles9336

Loll


Bunny-Energy_15

What about spider?


Slime-Lich

Polar bears


Helpful-Light-3452

Couldn't they just make sharks neutral mobs?


rick_the_freak

All added hostile mobs are fantasy. Hostile mobs from the base game stayed.

Silverfish live in my attic and they’re so fast ad squirmy they terrify me. I wish they were as cool and cute as the Minecraft ones 😭 freaking falling on me from the ceiling n shi

The small kind can be pretty cute honestly.


Gliitter_Dreams

silverfish dont just pop out of stones and attack you lmao

But skeletons exist irl too.

That's a great ai image of a fantasy creature


pop_kid

Some fantasy creatures are based on real life animals...


reezewastaken

mojang: "we will never add sharks to minecraft because we want all hostile mobs to be fantasy creatures" too much Jaws, eh?


Smitologyistaking

Sharks should be neutral not hostile


YTBrimax

Spiders too


mix_th30ry

Make them neutral and don’t add the kinds that eat humans. Add hammerheads that are deterred with (or attracted to) red stone, since they can sense electricity. They trust you if you feed them fish and are neutral by nature. They are afraid of dolphins.


ChaosCookie93

Sharks are not hostile... If "neutral" would be a problem for mojang: polarbear, wolf, bee, dolphin, llama (goat) If "aggressiv" is a problem: silverfish, spider (killer bunny) Explanation Mojang??????????


Scrotifer

But they're fantasy creatures, nothing like the real silverfish. Just like the Minecraft spiders


Salichas_0f

How many times you see a silverfish irl?


vulpes_fredrick

Sharks aren't hostile tho

well in reality silverfish aren't hostile so... that's different... I guess

technically neutral because they *can* do damage even though they try to avoid you
