I had fun, despite knowing nothing bout' pikmins, I liked these little creatures.
[I'm on mobile - Pirated 1.20.50 MCPE]
[Survival Playthrough]
- I do like the concept of having these kinds of add-on so I tried playing it in survival. While enjoyed having them pretty much, I encountered some occasional AI bug.
There are bugs, but the one that is noticable during my game was that I wasn't able to fly even with two winged pikmin holding in both my hands. Which is sad:(
First - it's not hard to find the onions, just roaming around where you spawned you'll most likely found one in a cage. It's pretty compelling but, it seems easy as more of these cages will generate around the overworld. It's not hard to pass through the pillagers too, since when they despawn during the day, you'll have much time to steal the onions before they reappear. However, if they see you, they'll chase you forever. It's nice, but not challenging.
They're in all each biomes too, which is unnatural in my opinion.
Second - sometimes when you have more than one onion sitting and is close together, The AI's for pikmins will have a hard time performing their behaviors that were shown in the video. They seem to get stuck at some point.
So better have one onion sitting, or you'll likely experience this:^|
Also, when they go outside the onion, sometimes they wander too far that they'll be incapable of getting their way back which will leave them outside of the onion's or your command range and be forever passive around the map running away from mobs... it was sad when I saw my pikmin at this state. Prior to the details about "Lost Pikmin" I don't know why this happens.
Third - make sure you're not letting your pikmins follow you when you're traveling, as they will run towards an item on a floor, they're slow when carrying something and be likely to get stuck and never reach you... let them follow only on foot or when you're only roaming.
They will sometimes accidentally run into a candy pop, silly them- turning themselves to that color. When I tried to destroy/pick up the flower they rushed over and attacked it, another way of them being silly, converting themselves to another color. I guess the candy pop and pellet is considered as an entity, perhaps?
Sometimes you need to be quick when you're actually converting them to another color, because there are cases that the candypop bud will disappear while your Pikmin is still inside, you'll lost it.
Fun Details I Found:^)
I do like getting creepers getting destroyed and the Pikmins are so good at doing this, aside from the winged one. If the Pikmins don't latch on attack, they will back up if the creeper is about to explode and rush back to deal damage. Awesome to Watch!
Now, this may be far to OP for Minecraft at this point, but it'll be awesome if this little creatures can help out in farms. The agricultural one's at least- And by that I mean, they become farmers themselves:) A lumberjack, maybe? Food? The basic resources, really. and I'd like that they'll be more challenging to get, since having them will fill out the worries you have around survival.
They're indeed better than an allay, who's only use is to pick up arrows in a mob fight and needs a noteblock to be useful -_-).
Overall the mod is so good, that I'd wish for you *creator* to turn this mod into non-experimental. I've been looking for some good useful mobs add-ons for Minecraft PE and this by far one of the greatest I've ran into. I'd appreciate it.
I hope you're still working on this add-on, and that you're continuing to improve it.
If you make this all work, I'd understand if you keep it behind a paywall:) pls don't.
Thank you for letting me experience this add-on, I can see that you're good at programming 💙💙💙
