Combat profile
Shipped defaults for Minecraft 26.3 / NeoForge. Server base stats, wave scaling and ability settings can change these values. Existing server configurations may retain older costs and theme assignments.
Behavior
Arrows, including piercing arrows, bounce off without damage. It ignores knockback, including explosion knockback. A direct melee attack by a living attacker holding a pickaxe bypasses its stone resistance; other accepted damage sources are multiplied by 0.5 before ordinary damage processing. Thrown tridents are not deflected as arrows, but still receive the damage reduction.
It is fireproof by default and cannot drown. It walks on solid floors through water and lava instead of swimming, can step over one-block ledges and is neither slowed nor pushed by fluid. Deep liquid is not a safe barrier when a traversable floor reaches the Nexus.
Weapon, armor, mining and building abilities are disabled in the shipped defaults. A Stone Spirit can create additional Minions by consuming lava sources; those Minions inherit the Spirit’s Nexus binding.
Use a pickaxe for full direct damage. Ordinary melee weapons deal half damage, while arrows are ineffective.
Spawning & configuration
Entity ID: invmod:stone_minion. Default themes: MIXED, RANDOM, RANDOMHELL, SIEGE. Use Themes and the entity configuration to change participation and costs.
The shipped wave spawn location is lava; suitable lava spawn points are needed. The spawn-location setting applies to Nexus waves; it does not change movement or damage immunity. There is no dedicated vanilla replacement for this mob.
Use its dedicated egg from the creative inventory, or /give @s invmod:stone_minion_spawn_egg with command permission. To summon the entity directly, use /summon invmod:stone_minion. See the Spawn Egg Reference. The egg shares its vanilla Silverfish family icon but spawns this separately registered mob.
Drops
See IM display names. Use the registry IDs listed in the mob guides.
Drops 1–2 Stone blocks through its entity loot table, plus the shared 25% Small Remnants roll. Stone Spirit uses the same Stone loot table.
Stone • 1–2 blocks
Small Remnants • 25%
