Season levels and rewards#
Health and all attack-damage values are species bases, not final damage. Health scales by 1.065^(level−1) and damage by 1.05^(level−1), also modified by server strength. Season elites multiply health by 2.5 and damage by 1.3 before additional elite abilities. Base kill XP is the coefficient × (2 + 0.4 × monster level), then modified by elites, server rates, damage contribution, level-gap reduction and weakness. Summoned helpers award no season XP.
Spawning & habitat#
Does not spawn naturally; stands guard at: Mineshaft
Season structure guards are fixed encounters, not spawners; defeated guards do not automatically respawn.
Behaviour & abilities#
- Ranged attack: range 14 blocks, 9 base damage, interval 4.5 s, projectile speed 9 blocks/s; keeps roughly 5–11 blocks away.
- Its dynamite lies where it lands and goes off after 1.8 s, in a 3-block radius; walls and a raised shield lessen the blast, and the ground is not broken.
- Leaves a lit stick of dynamite where it falls: it goes off after 1.5 s in a 3-block radius.
Drops#
These are unscaled base rolls. A quantity of zero yields nothing. Elite/area modifiers, bag space and applicable material limits affect the result; a kill is not a guaranteed drop.
Eligible natural hostile kills also roll 3% for a seed, uniformly selected from ten types. Recipe rules: Cooking levels and costs
Strategy#
Watch where each stick lands and get clear; walls and a raised shield soften the blast, which never breaks blocks. Step away once it dies.
