Mobs in Hytale should be able to break blocks

Discussion

When you're deep down in a cave in Minecraft and suddenly get surrounded by zombies, what do you do? Well, if you don't have enough gear yet, just go against a wall and seal yourself with blocks. Imagine if someone did that in Hytale, just for a zombie to break the blocks they placed and whack them in the face. Same thing for digging a hole and hiding underground at night. Maybe more intelligent mobs could even hear you strip mining and just break into your tunnel.

You might argue that this would suck for players who like to build bases, but I'll tell you a secret: it already does in Minecraft. If you don't disable mob griefing, creepers will make a mess of your base and endermen will ruin your redstone contraptions. Hytale should just implement a way for players to make chunks ungriefable, maybe by placing a special block that needs to be kept fueled or a ritual you have to perform.

Mobs should also be able to place blocks. Imagine you are looking at skeletons from across a ravine, thinking you are safe, just for them to build a bridge and wreck you. You might also picture more astute mobs (like servant of Varyn) building strategic barricades mid fight.
