How Scraplets behave

Hunting

Section titled “Hunting”
  • They hunt Transformer players, Vehicons, Terrorcons and Iron Golems. Cybertronians come first, and a wild Scraplet chasing anything else switches to a Cybertronian it can see. Humans only get attacked if they’re holding or wearing metal the Scraplets can eat.
  • They can sense Transformers, Vehicons, Terrorcons and Iron Golems through walls within 12 blocks, and dig or fly their way to them. Sneaking shrinks that to about 10 blocks, and being invisible shrinks it even more. Humans carrying metal have to be seen first, and glass, iron bars and fences don’t hide them.
  • If you attack one, the rest of the swarm nearby will join in.
  • A swarm chasing the same target follows one route and keeps a little space between each Scraplet. If one gets stuck it backs off, digs or finds another way, and the rest of the swarm steers clear of that spot for a while.
  • On foot they climb walls like spiders.
  • They hide in blocks and jump out at anything walking past.
  • They leave you alone if you’re playing as a Scraplet.

Eating and breeding

Section titled “Eating and breeding”
  • They eat metal items on the ground, metal blocks and planted bombs, and they’ll raid chests with metal in them. With mobGriefing off they leave blocks alone.
  • They breed inside their nests and start new ones once they’ve eaten 32 points of metal, then wait 5 minutes before breeding again. Babies grow up over time, starting with half health and damage.
  • Once the metal around their home runs out, the swarm moves somewhere else.

Fighting them

Section titled “Fighting them”
  • They only have 20 health and 8 armour each, but there’s almost never just one. Wild ones bite for 6 damage.
  • If one gets badly hurt it’ll dive into a block nearby to recover.
  • A Scraplet that’s after you, or that you’ve hit in the last 10 seconds, is easier for you to hit than its tiny body suggests.
  • Hitting one also hits every other Scraplet within 4 blocks of you, all the way around, for three quarters of the damage.
  • Trapping one in a boat, minecart or cobweb doesn’t work. It breaks out after a second. Terrorcons do the same, and Vehicons hop out of boats and minecarts after a second like a player would.
  • Cold is their big weakness. See Cold and Frozen Scraplets.
  • Vehicons are terrified of them. They back away from swarms of three or more and try to shoot lone ones before they get close.
