Here is my idea on a type of dimension you can play in! Dream Worlds! Whenever you go to sleep (suggesting you can sleep in the game...) there is a chance(a very small chance) you can teleport to a world that you can become like a god! Abilities that you have during your time at the Dream world: You can delete blocks instantly without mining them,you can fly,you cannot die (sort of),can spawn any creature(that you have encountered),and kill anything instantly! Any catch?: yes! what ever you pick up during your time there will not come with you to the real world and the creatures and blocks you see are only ones you have scanned! Shadow entity: If you spend to much time in the Dream World a silhouette of you will chase after you and try to kill you (it is the only thing that can hurt you in the world)! Whenever you do get killed you wake up and get a buff called "Scared to death" that slows you down by 10%, you cannot run, and lowers your attack by 30%.But you can of course wake yourself up before that happens. You can however kill the Shadow entity by getting a "Light stone" that makes your attacks work on the shadow entity. It can have a small chance of being found only on higher threat planets. Any suggestions?
I honestly do not like this idea, for only one reason. the sleep thing. i could see it however being done with like mabye a plant that makes those not wearing certain breathing apparatuses hallucinate. perhaps something like you describe, however when you leave their influence or put on the right equipment, the illusion stops, and nothing has changed from when you first entered their influence.
I think they should just have a dream world, essentially this is the like... build mode in minecraft? so the idea is cool i'd say but to get what your describing they just need a build mode. for me i picture puffy clouds and rainbows and bouncing amongst them all hahaha
Cool, I had a similar idea to this in another thread. Mine was a planet that looked like a barren moon when you get there, but if you went to sleep while on the planet, your dream self would be able to explore a life filled dream version of the planet, filled with strange lifeforms. The minerals you find there aren't collectable, but will spawn the mineral in a similar location in the real world. It'd be a difficult planet, seeing as finding a way to bringing equipment to your dream self could be a quest point that maybe the locals might be able to help out with. Also, there could be a chance for nightmare creatures to be able to follow you into the real world if they're nearby when you wake up. I figure if you're in the same solar system as the dream planet, there could be a chance of getting a mini-quest when you go to sleep to get the co-ordinates for the planet itself. Also, the minerals could be used to make mental devices that can pull some of the dream world aspects out into reality.
I like the idea of alternate dimensions, Maybe you could make a mirror that transports you between the Dream world and reality, With specific items only in the dream world?
I am not really sure there's a point to this. Implementation of some mechanics and godlike powers, sleeping through the night cycle, synchronization between sleeping and dreaming and 'regular' players in multiplayer, shadow entities and so on would require quite much work and offer really hardly any impact on gameplay. I'd rather have just some customizable world creation some player can play with however s/he wants when in single player mode.
