Presuggestion: So, I rewatched Waters of Mars recently. It's an amazing story. I decided I wanted to do a suggestion on it, as the Flood were such terrifying foes. Well, time to get started on the suggestion. I hope it's well recieved.

The Waters

Block Suggestion: Flood

Appearance: The Flood blocks will resemble Minecraft's water, just paler

Block Type: Liquid Source Block

Properties:

• Damages mobs and Players that come in contact with it
• Most mobs become Flood Mobs when coming in contact with  the Flood Blocks
• The Flood block flows like water and lava
• All potatoes irrigated by Flood Waters become poisonous potatoes
• Flood Waters can contaminate normal Minecraft Water
• Flood mob placed Flood Water will not freeze

Can be found: In underground pockets in Mars in some places. Can also be created by the Flood Mobs. 

Block Suggestion: Flood Ice

Appearance: Flood Ice resembles a paler, whitish Minecraft Ice Block

Block Type: Solid

Properties: 

• When broken, it becomes Flood Waters.
• Walking on it will cause damage to a player unless he or she is wearing boots. While on the ice; however, the ice will wear away at the boots' durability.
• Placing Flood Ice by normal Minecraft water will infect that water
• Can be obtained with a Silk Touch Pickaxe

Can be found: In underground pockets along with Flood Waters. It can only be obtained with a silk touch pickaxe

The Mob

Mob Suggestion: The Flood (Mob)

As Seen In: Waters of Mars

Nature: Hostile

Spawning: Spawns on Mars

Attack Type:

• Projectile
• Block creation (disabled if mob-griefing is set to false)
• melee

Attacks:

• Water Spray
  • The Flood fires water from its hands. This is used on mobs at mid range.
• Flood placement
  • The Flood sets blocks of flood around itself. This can be used to corner a player, or get a player at a lower height.
• Melee
  • A typical "punch" attack. Used at short range.

Special Traits: When killing a mob, that mob will become a Flood. When a Flood kills a player (suggested by Wodaman01), a Flood will spawn with the skin of the player.

Aesthetics: The Flood would make whispering or water trickling noises for its sound effects (suggested by Wodaman01). Many of the attacks could use particle effects.

Special Entity Data:

• "name= (put a player's username here)"
  • This will change the skin the Flood is using. Otherwise, it will use the default (which I imagine would probably look like Andy in the picture above).

Drops: Credits and a bucket of flood water.

Extras

Item Suggestion: Water filter 

Lore: Fun fact, the whole Bowie Base 1 tragedy of Waters of Mars probably could have been avoided had Andy not neglected to change the water filter. Anyway, I thought, why not use that for something.

Crafting/Obtaining: To be Decided

Use: Cleans water, specifically Flood water, to make it proper  for normal use

Operation: I'm thinking it would be used by crafting it with a bucket of flood waters (giving the player a bucket of normal Minecraft water, and a dirty filter to be disposed or cleaned via some special process). I'm considering a block as well which could clean more at once.

Planned ideas: Suggestion for a controllable Gaget, possible suggestion for the Bowie Base 1 Structure

Related Suggestions:

•  Wodaman's version of the Flood  (link), along with other suggestions for Mars
  • There will be a bit of overlap in the suggestions (I knew someone suggested the Flood, but was unable to find it until Wodaman commented). Nonetheless, his version has some features to differ from my version, and his other Mars related suggestions are worth a read

How would the Flood water work with the Player? Would they take damage? Other than that, this is a good suggestion. Also might be relevant, if:

 Yep, and thanks. I'll make that a bit more specific in the thread.

Great idea!

i think it was me who posted the idea for a flood on my Mars thread. But this version is so much better, I like the idea that any Mob it kills becomes a flood so as to create a virus-like atmosphere.

perhaps when flood is nearby there could be some creepy sound effects like water dripping or whispering.

Also, if a player gets killed by a flood I think something should happen where that flood looks like an infected version of the player

 Ah. I'll be sure to add a mention to your thread then. 

Thanks for the support.

Also, I really love that idea of sound effects and an infected flood player. I'll add those in

Nice idea, when I first saw Flood, I thought of the things from Halo. 

 Thank you

 this thread has nothing to do with daleks,  if you want to post your models, make your own thread and post them all there

 Excuse me if I sound rude, but would you please keep these to your own thread? 

A lot of work goes into these suggestions, and I'd much rather get feedback or ideas for the thread
