. . . er, I mean working! When I came across some tweets to Notch from a guy suggesting that he make a surprise update that allows zombies to open doors. 0_o As if climbing spiders weren't bad enough.

Granted it would be kinda cool if they didn't open doors but bashed at them until the door broke (wooden only of course) and then came in after you. Holy zombie movie Batman!

I would think that it would be awesome if zombies could (and would) bash their way through all sorts of blocks. I'd make it so zombies (once they spot living flesh) pursued the player and relentlessly tried to get to him, bashing their way through doors and walls. I would say that glass, wooden and dirt structures would be susceptible to a zombie bash, but stone or cobble or brick (or anything stronger) would not.

I know I read somewhere that one of the projects was a zombie attack kind of mode, but I think it would be cool to have zombies be like that all the time.

Now if they implement "pigmen" as a hostile mob (kind of like a goblin or something) then they would be able to be smart enough to climb ladders, open doors, use levers & pushbuttons, etc.

Wow, we're turning minecraft into a fantasy RPG game...
