The Mech Guide
As soon as you spawn into a new Survival Mech world, you’ll have a tablet that tells you all about the Mech.
It’s your very own player guide inside Minecraft!
The Survival Mech
Before you can do anything, you need to build a Survival Mech!
Building the Mech
Survival Mech Recipe - 6x Iron Ingots, 1x Leather, 1x Furnace and 1x Redstone Block
To craft a Survival Mech, gather the items listed above and then craft the Mech in a Crafting Table, using the recipe in the Crafting Table Crafting Book.
You can then place the Mech down and start your Survival Mech adventure!
We recommend doing this outside with plenty of space, those Mechs are big, and you can’t pick them up once you put them down, so not the best thing to spawn in your lovely Minecraft home or a crowded forest!
Fuelling the Mech
Compatible fuel - Coal or Charcoal (Not Coal or Charcoal blocks)
Like everyone and everything, Survival Mechs need fuel to function, otherwise they just move really slowly and can’t do their intended tasks.
To fuel your Mech, interact with it to jump onboard then open your inventory.
This will open up the Mech’s inventory, where you can add charcoal or coal to power it. Looking inside the Mech’s inventory or over its head will tell you how much fuel it has left, and also its health!
Controlling the Mech
Mech Control Recipe - 2x Iron Ingots, 1x Button [Any] and 1x Redstone Dust
Moving around on a Mech is easy, just interact with it to jump onboard and move around, just like riding a horse! To get out of the Mech, just hit the Sneak key.
Getting it to perform its module actions requires a Mech Control. This can be crafted in a Crafting Table, using the recipe in the Crafting Table Crafting Book.
Once you have your Mech Control, jump into your mech and hit interact while holding the Control, and the Mech will perform the action designated by the attached Mech Module! So, whats a Mech Module? Glad you asked.
Mech Modules
With the use of Mech Modules, Survival Mechs can do all sorts of things!
Depending on what you want your Mech to do, you’ll need to craft the correct Module for that.
Below are all the recipes to craft them, and more about what they do. Once you’ve added the module to your Mech (by interacting with the Mech while holding the module), you can activate it using the Mech Control.
Farming Module
Farming Module Recipe - 4x Iron Ingots, 2x Redstone Dust and 3x Bone Blocks
Say goodbye to waiting for wheat to grow. The Farming Module super-grows crops, getting them ready to harvest in a splash! (Get it? … ‘cause it sprinkles water)
TNT Module
TNT Module Recipe - 4x Iron Ingots, 2x Redstone Dust and 3x TNT
Rain unlimited TNT from the sky! This module packs you Mech with explosives, ready to clear any obstacle in your way!
Mining Module
Mining Module Recipe - 4x Iron Ingots, 2x Redstone Dust, 2x Iron Pickaxe and 1x Iron Shovel
Unearth treasures in a flash using the Mining Module. No more wasting pickaxes on boring strip mining; just drill your way to riches.
Just remember the number one rule: don’t dig straight down.
Jewel Module
Jewel Module Recipe - 4x Iron Ingots, 2x Redstone Dust and 3x Diamond Pickaxe
When you’re looking for diamonds, who really wants all that deepslate filling up your inventory?
Chew through that filler and get to the good stuff (aka ore and diamonds) with the power of the Jewel Module!
Chopping Module
Chopping Module Recipe - 4x Iron Ingots, 2x Redstone Dust and 3x Iron Axe
Sick of chopping down trees to clear space for your new masterpiece? Need a load of wood for your project but don’t want to spend forever gathering it? With the Chopping Module, take the fuss out of chopping wood and let it devour forests, one chunk at a time!
Speed Module
Speed Module Recipe - 4x Iron Ingots, 2x Redstone Dust and 3x Nether Wart
Can’t wait to get somewhere? Need to reach the top of that mountain before a creeper blows up your villagers? The Speed Module has you covered. With the press of a button, the Mech speeds up for a short time, sending you charging across the world and to wherever you’re going in a flash.
Removing Mech Modules
Mech Decraft Kit Recipe - 1x Iron Ingot, 3x Redstone Dust, and 3x Leather
Mech Modules can be removed using a Mech Decraft Kit. Holding this item and interacting with a Mech removes the currently installed Mech Module from it, allowing you to install another.
You get the module back so you can install it again later if you want!t!
Repairing your mech
Repair Kit Recipe - 1x Iron Ingot, 3x Coal and 3x Leather
Survival Mechs might look tough but they can take damage and will break apart if they run out of health. You can check the Mech’s health by checking your Mech’s Inventory or looking at the text bar above it. Mechs will also smoke if they get too damaged.
Never fear there is a way to patch up your beloved Survival Mech, with a Repair Kit!
Just use a Repair Kit on the Mech and it will recover 15 health, letting you keep on trucking!
Upgrading your Mech
Gold Mech Upgrade Kit Recipe - 3x Iron Ingots, 2x Redstone Dust, 3x Gold Ingots and 1x Gold Block
Diamond Mech Upgrade Kit Recipe - 3x Iron Ingots, 2x Redstone Dust, 3x Diamonds and 1x Diamond Block
Want to take your Mech to the next level? Then it's time to Upgrade!
Run faster, jump higher, use less fuel and take more hits; these upgrade kits can turn your Mech from a simple machine into a monster tool to help you tame your survival world!
These upgrades stack, so you don’t need to remove one to apply the other.
