Minecraft's biggest zoo! [TAKING SUGGESTIONS]

So, due to seeing hundreds of small zoo projects and unfinished series of zoo building, I've decided to build a zoo of my own.

What's so special about it? Well...

I plan to have over 150 exhibits by the end of the project, and 10 buildings such as foodcourts, restroom facilities, gift shops, etc.

But I need you guys' help. I'm not the best with ideas. So before I ask for specific ideas, let me explain some in-depth plans.

Like some other zoos, I will be using mod animals. Specifically, these mods:

Click to reveal
Mo'Creatures
Pavocado's Exotic Birds
Animals +


But since even these excellent mods lack some animals I'd like to add, I'll be building several with player heads and blocks. I'll be doing many of these like this, but likely an even mix with the mod animals.

So what do I need? All the obscure animals you can find, of course! Recommend weird species you've found on the internet or learned about in grade school.

What's in it for you, you ask? Well, if you recommend an animal and I build an exhibit for it, you'll have a sponsor sign placed on the enclosure. Even if you don't recommend it, and it's a mob animal, you can claim sponsorship! I sort of just like the idea of people being credited, as if you go to an actual zoo, there are sponsorship signs everywhere. When the map is made available, these will be easily seen.

So let's get onto the list! I'll need you all to post everything you think of. Claim sponsorship for any of the exhibits without an asterisk and name next to them. Please also take a look through existing exhibits, as I'd also like to have sponsorships for them!

The animal list and sponsors have been moved to a project post which will be linked as soon as I figure out how to insert links.

No.


Digressing aside, I actually have an animal I want to volunteer as tribute:

Jacques from JonTron.

Yeah. I'm not kidding. The dolphin idea was already taken (or put into the zoo) already, so I'd say either a Shark or Jacques (who is a green-cheeked conure parrot) would be a nice addition to the zoo. Make him like the star of the aviary part of the zoo, and I would definitely download the map and the mods if that were the case.

Hey! I was wondering if you still wanted help? I know it's been a long, LONG, time, but I can help if you want/need. I also have a server if we really need one up. Just PM me and I'll reply ASAP.

PineappleOcelot9I don't know if you will accept this, but you should put a command block in each exhibit so when you press a button, it will play the animal's sound. Also if you don't want the animals to despawn, you could rename them. Pls name an ocelot Pineapple if you do. (In honor of my cat in Minecraft that died from a creeper explosion) (I know it's ironic) And if you have monkeys (if you don't pls add them) make an interactive exhibit with a parkour thing inside. There should be certain times when you can come in most of the exhibits and feed the animals. Wait are you doing default Minecraft animals? If you are, you should add cool "exotic" animals like ocelots and stuff.


Since the build is mostly a test of my realistic building skills, much of this will not be done. I'm trying to make a realistic modern zoo, and while a parkour type thing would be interesting, it simply does not fit with the build.

We're not using vanilla animals due to world/server lag, unfortunately. However, I will name a cat Pineapple for you I'm going to name a few animals so it won't be too much of a step out of my way.

With this I'd like to announce that as soon as I can get another server up we will be resuming the project with a new map. Thank you for your patience with me and my overly frequent hiatuses.

Put barn animals in like a petting zoo because many zoos have them.
AH SO MANY IDEAS
I hope your friend gets better. Use these ideas when you have time.

I hope they get better.

Also, sorry I have not been posting (at all) for a LONG time. There was a glitch in my PMC account that wasn't letting me get to forums as I was still signed in.

(If that's happened to you, go to any topic, hit "POSTREPLY" and sign in, then go to the topic you want to post on. )

If there's anything you need me to do, just say the word!!

Sad news, guys. Our server appears to be down.

I'm trying to contact our host and get at least what we've got done so far, if I cannot contact him another restart on the project may be needed.

And thank you, giraffe. Giraffe is right, I am often offline and may have to be on hiatus in the near future. A good friend of mine was just diagnosed with a lung disease and I have to help her rehome all her birds, which may hinder my activity for the next week or two. Apologies, everyone. I will try to fix everything.

Guys, kotokrien is offline (and has been for a while, as far as I know,) so let's not stress him out too much, so please don't stress him out with a big to-do list of animals, because I know he's been working SO hard on the server, so PLEASE, before you ask to sponsor animals, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check previous posts to see if your animal is already sponsored.

Platypuses, the Pink Fairy Armadillo (so kawaii), the Patagonian Mara, Beluga, Irrawaddy Dolphins, Weasels (No reason, I just like the name), Kangaroo Rats, and Japanese Spider Crabs. Weird and wonderful is the way to go, brother. I wish I could help build, but...well, I'm kinda busy *sob*

Just now noticed these

I'll certainly add mountain goats! I was considering adding them for quite a while and I've just now figured out a design for them. And of course, I'll add vultures, if it's a bird that's suggested I've got to add it.

I'm not sure how I'd implement axolotls but I'll try My boyfriend's got several of them, they're cute little buggers.

We've already got a petting zoo exhibit but I'll put you down as the sponsor for it.

Thank you for the suggestions!

Wow, this seems like a really cool build!

By the way, I have some suggestions for animals, if that's okay..:

- Rams or Goats

- Vultures?

- I saw someone request a blobfish, so why not add axolotls? ( If you don't know what they are, look them up. They're so cute :0)

- Maybe there could be a whole farm exhibit, with animals like cows, sheep, pigs, etc.

Again, a project like this seems pretty big, but awesome!

I personally, can't, but there are a few like Triangle, Aternos, and others but the usually have a "catch." For Triangle, the "catch" is you have to wait at least a month, and for Aternos, you can only have it up for 5 hours at most unless you buy more hours.

Alrighty. Back from another hiatus.

So I'm starting to buckle down and try to get us a server. We need several people working at once to get anything even remotely close to being done, and I cannot personally host a server, so we need someone to lend us one to upload the map to.

If anyone knows anybody who can host our map for us, let me know!

Thank you for reminding everyone.

Unfortunately, the worst case scenario has happened. My main build world has corrupted, and even with tinkering in MCEDIT I cannot recover much. I've gotten a bit of the aviary and that's it, the rest is going to have to be remade.

GiraffeCircle, I am on superflat, but I can do some effective worldediting to do a natural-ish environment. Honestly though, I think I will do a custom forest, since.. in all honesty, vanilla jungle trees are a bit boring, don't you think?

If I did a jungle safari, I'd probably make a bunch of custom trees to make into brushes/schematics. Since, come on, look at how cool all these are!









(if I wanted greenish water, I'd probably mess around with swamp biomes. swamp water is cool.)

You could (if you were fine with more work,) make another large enclosure and if the animals don't eat each other, just have all of them together and not in cages. You could have the minecart go around a natural forest or wherever, unless you're on superflat.
