Creeper Replicator

Quickstart

1. In Creative mode, open the inventory and search for Creeper Replicator Spawn Egg or any of the 15 variant spawn eggs.
2. Use a spawn egg on open ground to place a replicator. Leave room around it for a house.
3. Keep your distance from an unfriendly replicator while you observe its ability.
4. Use the interact button on a replicator to open its menu.
5. Offer 8 gunpowder to an unfriendly replicator to become friends. Once befriended, the replicator family ignores you.
6. Interact with a friendly replicator again to trade gunpowder for supplies:
   • 1 gunpowder → 1 emerald
   • 3 gunpowder → 1 redstone
   • 8 gunpowder → 1 firework rocket

Replicators build their homes automatically, so spawn them in an area where a compact oak structure will not damage anything important.

Overview

Creeper Replicator adds a family of 15 specialized creeper variants, arranged across five stages. Each variant has a distinct automatic ability, builds a small home, and can be interacted with through the replicator menu.

You can approach the mod in two ways:

• Survival: fight the variants and learn how their powers work.
• Befriending: pay gunpowder to gain the friendship of the replicator family and use their trading posts.

There are no crafting recipes for the replicator spawn eggs. They are available through the Creative inventory.

What It Adds

Replicator Variants

The base Creeper Replicator also has a spawn egg and can be encountered separately from the staged variants.

How To Use

Spawning Replicators

Use a replicator spawn egg on a block just as you would use any other mob spawn egg. Spawn eggs are available for:

• Creeper Replicator
• Stage 1 Scout
• Stage 1 Builder
• Stage 1 Spark
• Stage 2 Miner
• Stage 2 Frost
• Stage 2 Medic
• Stage 3 Bomber
• Stage 3 Guardian
• Stage 3 Summoner
• Stage 4 Sniper
• Stage 4 Shadow
• Stage 4 Terraformer
• Stage 5 Overlord
• Stage 5 Storm
• Stage 5 Replicator

Interacting

Use the interact button on any replicator to open its menu.

An unfriendly replicator offers a friendship deal. Give it 8 gunpowder to befriend it, or choose the option to leave. Friendship causes the replicator family to ignore you.

A friendly replicator displays its ability and opens a trading post. Each trade consumes gunpowder from your inventory and gives one reward.

Replicator Homes

Every replicator automatically builds one small home near its position. The home contains:

• Oak plank walls
• An oak slab roof
• A doorway
• Glass windows
• A crafting table

The structure occupies roughly a 7-by-5-by-7-block area. Its construction clears the inside of the house and places the structure directly around the replicator, so avoid spawning one inside an important build or near other homes.

Abilities And Mechanics

Replicator abilities activate automatically; there is no separate ability button.

Most effects pulse repeatedly while the replicator is active. Support and threat effects generally affect entities within roughly 7 blocks.

• Scout: Uses speed to move quickly.
• Builder: Uses haste.
• Spark: Resists fire.
• Miner: Uses strong haste and gains resistance.
• Frost: Applies slowness to nearby non-replicator threats.
• Medic: Regenerates itself and gives nearby replicators regeneration.
• Bomber: Gains strong strength and damages one nearby threat.
• Guardian: Gains resistance and gives nearby replicators resistance.
• Summoner: Creates a Stage 1 Scout when fewer than four replicators are nearby.
• Sniper: Combines strength with increased speed.
• Shadow: Uses invisibility and speed to disappear from view.
• Terraformer: Combines strong haste with resistance.
• Overlord: Has the strongest strength and resistance combination.
• Storm: Uses speed and jump boost, and weakens up to two nearby threats.
• Replicator: Creates Stage 1 Sparks when fewer than two nearby Stage 1 Sparks are present.

Support variants work especially well together. A Medic and Guardian can reinforce a group, while Frost and Storm help control surrounding threats.

Natural Spawning

The base Creeper Replicator can spawn naturally in dark monster areas:

• On the surface or underground
• At light levels from 0 through 7
• In monster-tagged biomes
• On Normal or Hard difficulty

Stage 1 Builder can also spawn naturally in dark monster areas on Easy, Normal, or Hard difficulty. The remaining variants can be tested directly with their Creative spawn eggs.

Drops And Rewards

Creeper Replicator Drops

A standard Creeper Replicator drops:

• 1–3 gunpowder
• 1–2 iron nuggets when killed by a player
• A chance for 1–2 redstone when killed by a player
• A small chance for 1 amethyst shard when killed by a player

Stage 1 Drops

Stage 1 Scout, Stage 1 Builder, and Stage 1 Spark can drop:

• 0–2 gunpowder
• One of several music discs when killed by a skeleton, stray, or bogged

The possible music discs are 13, Cat, Blocks, Chirp, Far, Mall, Mellohi, Stal, Strad, Ward, 11, and Wait.

Trading Rewards

Friendly replicators exchange gunpowder for useful supplies:

Progression And Strategy

• Start with the three Stage 1 variants to learn the basic movement, utility, and defensive powers.
• Keep a Medic or Guardian near other replicators to improve their survivability.
• Use Frost and Storm against groups of enemies because their abilities affect nearby threats.
• Be careful with Summoners and the Stage 5 Replicator: they can increase the number of replicators around them.
• Spawn hostile variants in a large, empty arena so their automatic houses do not overlap or replace valuable blocks.
• Save at least 8 gunpowder before approaching a replicator you want to befriend.
• Stage 5 variants are the most dangerous to test in survival, especially the Overlord and Storm.
