Enemy Expansion

1.8
Goblins!

Update 1.8 brings forth a whole new Minecraft race: Goblins! Each one has their quirks, and together they're a force to be... Reckoned... With?
They're a cowardly bunch, avoiding Iron Golems like the plague, but have the unique ability to regenerate health when wet, be it in rain or the ocean.

Thief
Creeping around low to the ground is the Thief, who will steal your XP and run when you're not looking! They'll have a chance to flee when hurt, dropping some XP along the way, and killing them will balance things out, with any luck, as they drop not only a lot of XP, but Bottles O' Enchanting, too!

Bouncer
A self-serious fellow with no time to waste, the Bouncer will calmly walk up to you, before kicking you right in the... Potion bottles. Yeouch!

Baker
A Gabble of Goblins has to eat SOMETHING, and what better than freshly baked cake from their local Baker?
Unfortunately, Goblin Bakers also specialise in demolitions, so their cakes were actually made in a factory: A BOMB factory. They're BOMBS.
Their Suspicious Slices have 1/6th of a chance to BLOW YOU UP should you eat them! The other 5/6ths of the time though, they'll give you Regeneration. Is it worth it? Choose wisely!

Rancher
One efficient means of transport for a Goblin is the elusive Slime, which the Rancher is a specialist in controlling.
With it, it can launch great heights up into the air, and even throw slime balls at you to slow you down! If only it wasn't so unyeildy for it to control...

Errant
If the Bouncer provides the group security, the Errant enforces the law, and the law demands: No humans shall go unpunished for walking 16 blocks within a Goblin's vicinity! Weilding a mighty axe, they clumsily swing at you in the hopes that it'll butcher you. Keep your cool, though, as their slow speed and tendancy to lose their nerve during battle can get the better of them. At least they're brave enough to deal with their undead counterparts!

Caster
What could be considered the de-facto head-honcho of any Gabble of Goblins, the Caster's magic spells have the ability to puppeteer you mid-air, so make sure you avoid their projectiles at all costs! They can actually be effectively deflected with a shield, so use that to your advantage. When not targeting players, Casters are on the look-out for villagers to transform into new Goblins, so that they may join their nomadic ranks.

Zobgoblin
They frighten the life out of living Goblins, and will run away at the drop of a hat: Zobgoblins are not too troublesome to deal with. Just beware that like Thieves, they'll slow you down for a moment should you get touched by one.

- Removed the projectile attack replacement method from the Sprinter, Slugger, Senior, Frigid, Equestrian, Tarantula, and Zadybug.
Figured out how to reduce attack ranges without it!
Retained it for other mobs that use telegraphed or projectile attacks.

- Cinder Helm now takes damage when in water or rain
- Cinder Fireballs no longer destroy blocks, and now fly straight and burn like regular Blaze fireballs
- Cinders now take rain damage
- Spectres no longer have idle noises
- Wasps now only spawn in Forest biomes
- Wasp Drones have a new model and texture
- Meatman spawning has been fixed

Added Gamerules:

- tarantulaReplacementRule (default: 1)
When enabled, 2/3rds of all Spider spawns in the Dripstone Caves biome will be replaced by Tarantulas. Set to 0 to disable.

- cinderReplacementRule (default: 1)
When enabled, 1/5th of all Blaze spawns will be replaced by Tarantulas. Set to 0 to disable.
(Warning: This will disable Cinder spawning outright, as they only naturally spawn via replacing Blazes from Nether Fortress spawners.)
