Description
Adds the Frostwake Scout Jeep, a fully rideable, craftable military-style vehicle with 3D visuals and a placer item you can craft and use to spawn it. Place and you’ll automatically mount the jeep, then drive with your normal movement controls (a mounted horn/action confirms the vehicle controls are active); you can dismount and remount later. The jeep features buoyancy and all-terrain navigation so it travels across land, ice, and water, making it a versatile transport for exploration and utility.

Frostwake Scout Jeep
Quickstart
- Open a Crafting Table and craft the Frostwake Scout Jeep placer item (see recipe below).
- Hold the placer item and use it (tap/right-click) on any solid surface to spawn the jeep — you will automatically mount it.
- Drive with your normal movement controls (walk/sprint keys or joystick).
- Press the Tap / action button while mounted to honk the horn and confirm controls are active — you'll see "Frostwake Scout Jeep: all-terrain drive engaged" on screen.
- Sneak to dismount. Walk up to the jeep and interact to remount ("Drive Frostwake Scout Jeep").
Overview
The Frostwake Scout Jeep is a military-style rideable vehicle with a full 3D model. It is designed for all-terrain exploration, handling land, ice, and open water with equal ease thanks to built-in buoyancy and ground navigation. Craft one, place it anywhere, and immediately set off across any environment.
What It Adds
| Content | Description |
|---|---|
| Frostwake Scout Jeep (placer item) | Craftable item used to spawn the jeep vehicle in the world. |
| Frostwake Scout Jeep (entity) | The rideable 3D vehicle itself — one seat, player-controlled. |
How To Use
Placing the Jeep
Hold the placer item and use it on any solid block. The jeep entity spawns at that location and you are automatically seated as the driver.
Driving
All movement uses your standard movement controls — no special bindings needed. The jeep responds to forward/back and turning inputs just like walking, but at vehicle speed.
Horn / Action
While mounted, press the Tap / action button (the interact button on mobile; right-click or assigned key on other platforms). This sounds a bass-note horn and displays the confirmation message on your action bar. The horn has a short cooldown between uses.
Dismounting & Remounting
- Dismount: Press Sneak while riding.
- Remount: Walk up to the parked jeep and interact with it. The prompt reads "Drive Frostwake Scout Jeep".
Naming the Jeep
The jeep supports name tags — use an anvil to name a tag and apply it to the jeep like any other nameable entity.
Crafting And Obtaining
Craft the placer item at a Crafting Table:
The recipe requires 3 Iron Ingots, 2 Leather, 1 Compass, and 2 Coal. It produces one placer item and unlocks automatically once you have iron ingots, leather, or a compass in your inventory.
Abilities And Mechanics
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| All-terrain movement | Travels over land, ice, and through water. |
| Buoyancy | Floats on water surfaces; gravity still applies on land. |
| Health | 60 HP — the jeep can take damage from the environment. |
| Seat | Single seat; only one player can ride at a time. |
| Camera | Third-person camera zooms out automatically while riding. |
| Physics | Has collision and gravity; can be pushed by pistons. |
Progression And Strategy
- Early mobility: The recipe is affordable (iron, coal, leather, compass), making the jeep accessible soon after establishing a base.
- Water crossings: No need to build bridges — the jeep floats, so you can drive straight across rivers and lakes.
- Ice biomes: The all-terrain navigation means frozen oceans and tundra are no obstacle.
- Exploration runs: Park the jeep at a landmark (optionally name it with a name tag so it's easy to identify) while you explore on foot, then remount for fast travel back.
- Protection: With 60 HP the jeep is reasonably durable, but avoid prolonged combat near it — it can still be damaged.
