Clockwork Nanny

Quickstart

• Encounter one: The mod automatically keeps a Clockwork Nanny near players. Be ready for it to approach and attack.
• Spawn one in Creative: Find its spawn egg in the Spawn Eggs tab and use it on the ground, or run /summon clockwork-nanny-ba7nxl4d:clockwork_nanny_ba7nxl4d.
• Try to outlast it: The Nanny hunts while its battery lasts. When it runs out, the machine stops moving and pursuing players.

Overview

Clockwork Nanny is a towering, four-armed bronze hostile mob. It seeks out players and closes in for a powerful grab attack. It is extremely durable and resists knockback, so fighting it head-on can be difficult.

What It Adds

• The Clockwork Nanny, a roughly three-block-tall hostile mob.
• A matching spawn egg for placing one in Creative.
• Automatic appearances near players, so you can encounter it without summoning it yourself.

How To Use

The Nanny is a hostile encounter, not a pet or rideable mob. In Creative, use its spawn egg on the ground to bring one into the world. Otherwise, watch for one to appear nearby.

It can detect players from far away, even without a clear line of sight, but must see you and get close to land its grab. When it notices a player, it screeches before pursuing.

Crafting And Obtaining

There is no crafting recipe for the Nanny or its spawn egg. Use the spawn egg from the Creative Spawn Eggs tab, or encounter the Nanny as it appears near players automatically.

Defeating a Clockwork Nanny drops 5 iron ingots.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Durable and difficult to push: It has 500 health and resists knockback.
• Grab attack: At close range, it deals 12 damage and applies Slowness VII and Weakness I for 4 seconds.
• Battery: Its battery lasts up to 72,000 game ticks (about 60 minutes of active ticking). When drained, it stops moving and attacking.
• Screech: It screeches when it acquires a player as a target.

Progression And Strategy

Keep your distance and avoid letting it get within grabbing range. Its knockback resistance makes pushing it away unreliable, and its grab can leave you slowed and weakened. If you choose to fight, plan for a lengthy encounter; alternatively, stay clear until its battery runs out. A drained Nanny no longer hunts, but can still be attacked.
