Minecraft Weeping Angels Commands Allow for Whovian Horror Maps

Posted on October 11, 2014

Fascinating race, the Weeping Angels. The only psychopaths in the universe to kill you nicely. No mess, no fuss, they just zap you into the past and let you live to death. The rest of your life used up and blown away in the blink of an eye. You die in the past, and in the present they consume the energy of all the days you might have had, all your stolen moments. They're creatures of the abstract. They live off potential energy.

Reddit user samasaurus6 has managed to design an amazing Minecraft script using 1.8 command features. The weeping angels from Dr. Who can now hunt people without requiring anything beyond the basic Minecraft install. Unfortunately, these don’t kill you nicely… they just kill you. Dead. This mod allows users to create a great horror map, especially if some of the suggestions in the Reddit thread are added to the kit. Placing these fearsome foes with some identical, inactive statues will definitely increase the creep factor.

This GIF shows the angels in action. The angels trigger when someone gets close enough and isn’t looking. The F5 key still lets you see them moving towards you, but turning the character’s view to within 45 degrees of the angel will stop it dead in its tracks. Being able to knock this out without requiring mods makes this a must-inclusion for anyone who wants to spice-up Minecraft without worrying about mod conflicts.

Major kudos to samasaurus6 for a brilliant programming job. Here’s hoping he creates a horror map to go with these.

Don't blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast. Faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink. Good Luck.
