Build 55: Mobs take forever to be killed

[warfighter67 124]

I hit a spider repeatedly for about five minutes with my fists, javelins, axe, etc and it never died.

mobs have alot of health now just like steve have 1000!

[warfighter67 124]

Also, an unrelated issue, but when I ragequit my world after losing a fight to the immortal mobs, Minecraft is hanging on "Shutting down internal server."

No crash report yet because it hasn't 'crashed'

I'll post one when or if it's available.

I'm aware, but I believe in the changelog he stated that damage was scaled to deal with the new health, which in this case, it obviously hasn't.

yes but i do believe that bioxx do not want us to be fighting mobs with our fists so the damage of the weapons has been scaled to be fair, that includes making steve's fists utterly useles in a fight against a zombie...

ps: warfighter i am always getting this "crash" too, lets just await for the new bug fix update...

I was using javelins as well. Also, my stone axe.

I'm fine with fists being useless.. I mean, spider shells are quite hard, and zombies can hardly be taken down by punching, but he should make tools at least useful.

the only weapon I've found not useful is fists, and(this I think is an oversight) javelins, axes take most mobs down in a few hits.

knifes seem to work quite well also!

[warfighter67 124]

I just kinda proved my bug when I shoved a sheep down a 50 block cliff and it didn't die.

So far, I've only been able to kill cows and chickens.

[neogoo123 2]

If you use a small knife and hit a sheep twice it should die, ive had cows die in one shot with a stone knife as well, so you are probably getting that issue alone, IDK.

Yeah the knife is stupidly powerful lol. Killed a creeper in 3 hits... equal to vanilla diamond sword.

I've sent many mobs falling to their doom from up to 100 blocks high and they still didn't die.

Mobs tested that took no fall damage:

Sheep, Creeper, Spider

Mobs tested that died/took damage:

Cows, Chickens.

But chickens can fly...how can it be?

My bad, I don't know why I put chickens there. I only tested cows.

I must have thought I was listing what mobs i was able to kill with my fists.

[Ditto8353 202]

I was in full agreement that this was a glitch and/or ridiculous until I read here that the knife works great for killing mobs.

(If they really are living from massive cliff-dives then fall damage is probably not working properly at the moment, but I suspect that would be considered a separate bug.)

The only mob I was able to punch to death was a chicken, and it was very easy. Ever kill a chicken? It doesn't exactly take much effort, you just grab on and twist.

Pigs are one-shot with a stone knife. This seemed, well it seemed stupid at first, but Minecraft pigs, cows and sheep are all domesticated which easily noticed in the way they behave. One good slit across the throat, and I doubt that pig will be running away for very long.

I have not used the knife in combat, but if it works the same way, then I believe the damage is unbalanced. It should not be that powerful in combat, but as far as I have seen so far, the damage makes sense to me.

Well at least they should die in the sunlight..this isnt happening.. light doesnt do enough damage...

Noticing same problem here... Can't imagine this being intended:

I can. Why would Bioxx fix a vanilla diamond sword to bring it in line with the new health system if it can never be obtained legitimately? I tested the swords. Tin and Zinc swords kill sheep in two hits.

[Fairawen 0]

The swords make sense, yes. How about spears, axes, and shovels? I did a short video on it, me vs. sheep. The sheep almost won.

This is fixed in build 56, as javelin damage is the only real bug.
