The 1.6.2 Meaningful Mobs content drop is OUT NOW!! Featuring all kinds of cool new features for the game's and mod's previously useless mobs.

Additions:

• Added the Watcher block.
  • Crafted from 8 Stalkers Orbs and 1 Redstone Dust to get 2 Watchers.
  • A new Redstone component that powers Redstone when looked at.
  • The eye opens when you look at it, and closes when you look away.
  • Can be looked at through Leaves, Glass, and other blocks with transparency.
  • Can be looked at up to 23 blocks away!!
  • Emits a light level of 3 when looked at.
• Added two new Music Discs: Trade and Travel.
  • Both of which are obtained through trading with Wandering Traders, and are priced depending on how long they are.
  • Both Music Disc trades are always available.
• Added a /challenge command.
  • '/challenge checkactive' - Lists currently active challenges.
  • '/challenge toggle <CHALLENGE_ID> <true/false>’ - Allows you to turn a challenge on or off.
  • ‘/challenge info <CHALLENGE_ID>’ - You can view the information of a challenge. The title, description, and if it’s active.
• Added the “Item Name Background” Accessibility option.
  • Enabled by default.
  • An option for an old Contentified feature.
  • When enabled, when initially holding an item, its name will show a transparent background behind it to more-easily read.

Changes:

• Rats now use subtle sniffing sounds as ambient sounds, and the former audible squeaking sounds are now hurt sounds.
• Loons now have new sound effects to make them feel less repetitive to hear.
  • This includes a new wailing sound, all-new hurting sounds, and an all-new death sound.
• Loons can now be fed fish.
  • Feeding a Loon fish will make nearby aquatic or swimming mobs glow temporarily for 5 seconds. This includes Drowned and Submerged.
  • The range around the Loon in which mobs will glow is 12 blocks.
• The health of Loons has been reduced to 8 from 10.
• Rats now flee from Cats and Ocelots.
• Cats and Ocelots now attack Rats.
• Feeding Cheese to a Rat will now make it walk away, look for loot, and bring it back to you.
  • This is basic loot, but still rewarding. It isn’t always guaranteed either.
  • Being impatient and following the Rat will cause it to stop searching and not give you anything.
    • It only stops when you’re near it for more than a second.
  • Rats can now only be fed Wheat to breed in favor of this mechanic.
• The health of Rats has been reduced to 6 from 18.
• Sniffer Plants now have a purpose.
  • The Torchflower now emits a light level of 7, but when growing:
    • At stage 1, it emits a light level of 2.
    • At stage 2, it emits a light level of 4.
    • At stage 3 (the final growth stage), it emits a light level of 5. The reason it’s not 7 until replanted is to encourage players to plant it somewhere else after it grows.
  • The Pitcher Plant now slowly dissolves undead mobs.
    • Undead mobs implying Zombies and Skeletons.
    • The Pitcher CROP only dissolves undead mobs at the maximum stage in its growth.
• The Stalker now turns into smoke and disappears when exposed to sunlight.
  • This will NOT happen if the entity somehow persistent. (Spawned from a Spawn Egg, named, etc.)
• The Stalker model has been updated to only its eyes, and there are void clouds that are emitted over where its body is.
• Updated the texture of Stalkers.
• Updated the texture of Stalker Spawn Eggs.
• Updated the texture of Stalker Orbs.
  • The old texture is now in the Contentified Programmer Art Resource Pack.
• Updated the texture of Strong Cores.
  • The old texture is now in the Contentified Programmer Art Resource Pack.
• Updated the texture of Endorium Ore.
  • The old texture is now in the Contentified Programmer Art Resource Pack.
• Updated the texture of worn Endorium Armor.
  • The old textures are now in the Contentified Programmer Art Resource Pack.
• Voidfeathers can now be stacked up to 6 (from 5).
• Reduced the volume of Stalker sounds.
• Reduced the volume of Infected sounds.
• Sweet Berries can now be crafted into 2 Red Dye.
• Blueberries can now be crafted into 2 Blue Dye.
• Wandering Traders now have a trade to give them 3 Emeralds for 3 Experience Bottles.
  • This trade is always available.
• Contentified sounds now use the same formatting as vanilla Minecraft. (Example: contentified:entity.pinger.ambient - which was previously contentified:pinger_idle)
  • This means that most command blocks using these sounds will break.
