So one thing i've been kinda hoping on in minecraft would be stealth.

Sure in PvP you can easily sneak around someone and easily murder them, but what about in normal PvE minecraft?

Mobs can track you as long as you are within 16 blocks of them, meaning you can't exactly get the jump on them. If you could sneak around, them and be able to perform special stealth moves, fighting monsters could be much more of a thrill and would be much more strategic than charging in.

Here's a list of the things stealth could potentially fix:

The goddamn addiction to PvP servers: I don't get this, but like more than half of all servers are PvP. My guess is that people find this much more thrilling, but with stealth and strategic fighting, you could have that experience in PvE. These stealth skills will also give the players a need to "master" the game, and therefore, allow more of a blend between PvP and PvE.

Stealth/Robbery Maps: In a custom map, it would be much cooler if the players could sneak around hoards of monsters. Unfortunately, in current minecraft, the hoard will be able to detect you, meaning that in a custom map, the amounts of mobs in a horde have to be decreased for the player to be able to properly play the map without extreme difficulty

So what do you think of stealth?
