Guardian Mobs
Guardian Mobs lets you convert Creaking and Skeleton mobs into loyal territory defenders. Each guardian type has unique combat AI, special attacks, and upgrade paths. Place a Heart Block to define patrol zones, then watch your guardians eliminate intruders.
Creaking Guardian
Section titled “Creaking Guardian”Conversion
Section titled “Conversion”Throw a 
Splash Potion of Strength at a Creaking to convert it into a Creaking Guardian. The conversion is instant — the Creaking’s eyes change color and it begins following patrol orders.

| Variant | Health | Damage | Scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 80 HP | 7 per hit | 1× |
| Enchanted | 120 HP | 12 per hit | 1.5× |
Enchanted Creaking Guardians are created by upgrading a normal guardian with a 
Nether Star .
Heart Block
Section titled “Heart Block”The 
Guardian Creaking Heart defines a guardian’s territory. Place it and right-click to set the patrol radius (8 to 128 blocks). Guardians regenerate health when near their Heart — the closer, the faster. Move more than the set radius away and the guardian teleports back.
Special Attacks
Section titled “Special Attacks”Creaking Guardians use three special attacks based on combat range:
| Attack | Range | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Arrow Barrage | 16+ blocks | Fires a burst of 5 arrows in a spread pattern |
| Charged Fireball | 8–16 blocks | Slow-moving fireball that deals AoE damage |
| Ground Pound | 0–4 blocks | Melee AoE that launches nearby players upward |
Day/Night Cycle
Section titled “Day/Night Cycle”Creaking Guardians are more aggressive at night. During daytime they patrol passively; at night they actively seek hostile mobs within their radius and engage on sight.
Skeleton Guardian
Section titled “Skeleton Guardian”Conversion
Section titled “Conversion”Throw a Splash Potion of Swiftness at a Skeleton to convert it. The Skeleton keeps its bow and gains guardian AI.

Skeleton Heart
Section titled “Skeleton Heart”Like the Creaking’s Heart Block, the Skeleton Heart defines territory and provides regeneration. Skeleton Guardians have tighter patrol behavior — they prefer elevated positions and rooftops with line-of-sight advantages.
Phantom Hunting
Section titled “Phantom Hunting”Skeleton Guardians are specialized Phantom hunters. Their AI includes:
- Spectral Arrows — all shots apply the Glowing effect, making targets visible through walls
- Dive Detection — predicts Phantom dive trajectories and fires preemptive shots
- Burst Fire — fires 3 rapid arrows when a Phantom enters range
Patrol Modes
Section titled “Patrol Modes”| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Stationed | Stays within 4 blocks of the Heart. Ideal for fixed defense points. |
| Patrol | Wanders the territory perimeter. Covers more ground but may be out of position. |
Toggle modes by right-clicking the Skeleton Heart.
Cooperative AI
Section titled “Cooperative AI”When multiple Skeleton Guardians share a territory, they coordinate:
- Target Distribution — no two guardians focus the same target unless it’s the only threat
- Coverage Diversity — guardians spread across the territory to minimize blind spots
- Target Leading — arrows are aimed where the target will be, not where it is
