A strange thought: Thief in Minecraft

[SeriousToni]

Recently a thought came to my mind, for which I wanted to ask the people here nicely of their experience with Minecraft. For me, I never bought or played the game, but the videos and media that you can see on the internet about what people created is really appealing. I was wondering if there's a way to create medieval buildings and castles to play as a thief against hostile NPCs. This seems like an alternative to build little adventures withoud Dromed or Dark Radiant. But as I said, I don't know much about Minecraft itself.

I did a few googles and saw, there was a "sneaking mode" mod and also a bunch of medieval texture mods, some even with story modes.

Are there any Minecraft players here? Can you tell if there's a way for a thief / tdm experience both in play and level creation? Please feel free to share your experience!

With some modding, thief-like gameplay should be possible in Minecraft. Grafics-wise it would still be on a lower level than the original "Thief: The Dark Project". And the sound system and lightgem would need some love too. But it should be doable.

Thank you, but just to make sure: For me it's not only about if one could mod Minecraft for a Thief experience - I also want you guys to share IF you had already an experience like this with some kind of mod or if you tried to build your own medieval city there.

For me the core game is not so much appealing, but the idea to make thief maps in this game in the way you are able to create buildings sounds really interesting.

I wish there was a complete Thief mashup pack. Not just textures from Thief 1 and 2 for blocks, but Reskins for mobs as well. Hammerite Priest Villager Priests, Pagan Illagers, Thief zombie skin zombies, etc

Ah well Springheel thank you. I kind of remembered reading something like that somewhere, but I didn't think of our forums here! Thank you for pointing me there!

Oh there aren't? Shouldn't be hard to do since the models look really blant. If I get the game, that could be a job for me maybe

No Thief, but this is still cool. And yes, for the people that thought the earth was flat, you're right ;).

I remember a Thief 1 and 2 based texture pack with Garrett skin a while ago. But that was years back, and I can't find it. It utilized actual graphics from Thief 1 and 2 in order to make skeletons into Haunts, Zombies into Thief's zombies, and Creepers I believe may have been Karras' robots. There was also another Thief 2014 Texture pack with a high-rez Garrett skin, but i haven't been able to find the video again after years.
