Falling Meteors Mod — Reference
Mobs
The mod adds two unique entities that originate from space.
Alien Creeper
Alien Creepers are hostile extraterrestrial variants of the standard Creeper. They often spawn at Meteorite crash sites or when mining Meteorite Ore.
- Health: 20 (10 Hearts)
- Damage: 97 (at point-blank range)
- Behavior: They behave like standard Creepers but have a significantly larger explosion radius (approx. 1.5x to 2x larger).
- Drops: 0-2 Meteorite Chips or Red Meteor Gems.
Comet Kitty
Comet Kitties are passive, tamable creatures that arrive via Kitty Comets. They are easily identified by their black fur and small space helmets.
- Health: 16 (8 Hearts)
- Behavior: Timid like Ocelots. They are immune to fire and lava damage.
- Taming: Can be tamed using Raw Fish. Once tamed, they act like vanilla cats but retain their fire immunity.
- Special Ability: They scare away Alien Creepers and standard Creepers from a greater distance than normal cats.
- Breeding: Can be bred with Raw Fish. Breeding two Comet Kitties results in a Comet Kitten; breeding with an Ocelot has a 50% chance for either species.
Blocks & Technology
To manage the chaos of falling space rocks, the mod provides several high-tech blocks.
Meteor Shield
The Meteor Shield is the primary defense against impacts. It protects a specific radius of chunks from being destroyed by meteors.
- Function: When a meteor is about to land in protected territory, the shield destroys it mid-air.
- Materials: The shield collects a portion of the materials from the destroyed meteor, which can be retrieved from its internal inventory.
- Upgrading: Use Red Meteor Gems to increase the power level (1-5). Higher levels protect a larger radius.
- Charging: Requires a warm-up period after placement. This can be bypassed by inserting a Meteorite Chip into the bypass slot.
Freezer
A specialized machine used to process materials using cold energy.
- Fuel: Uses Frezarite Crystals, Ice, or Packed Ice.
- Recipes:
- Iron Ingot → Frozen Iron
- Water Bucket → Ice Block
- Lava Bucket → Obsidian
- Water + Ice → Packed Ice
- Any Block + Water → Slippery Block (Up to 4 levels of slipperiness)
Detection Tools
- Meteor Timer: Emits a Redstone signal that increases in strength as a meteor impact approaches.
- Meteor Proximity Detector: Points toward the nearest existing crash site.
- Meteor Crash Detector: Points toward the location where the next meteor is predicted to land.
