FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.
Mobs OR NOT!

I'd love to see one as well. Unfortionately, doing one requires a model (might be pretty simple for a bumble bee) and a texture (unless you want a bumble bee made out of wooden planks...because that's the texture I usually use).
A list of my mods can be found here.

If someone wants mobs or not is very much dependent on the gameplay.
For builders (creative mode) it is anoying to have to deal with walking mobs. And hostile enemies suck even more.
In MC you have a creative mode where mobs are not hostile but walk around and hinder you while building.
For every RPG like gameplay mobs are an essential part. It makes the world more lifeful and interesting.
That's the reason why I recommended to control it via games. The nescessary API functions have to be provided by engine of course. Especially the performance critical ones. And AI is in general very resource intensive. Just look at 0 A.D.: The AI is one of the bottlenecks there. It is mostly/completely implemented in JavaScript.
