Mites: New Pets for Minecraft

You can expand the potential of Minecraft not only with global mods but also with small add-ons that feature a particular goal and gameplay mechanics. And if you miss mobs in the cubic sandbox and would like to have a helpful pet, it is time to install the Mites mod that adds the mobs of the same name. Do not worry — even though they have not that pleasant appearance, they are quite useful. Thus, they can extract resources for the player without requiring any additional actions from the latter. Their behavior pattern is somewhat similar to that of allays added to Minecraft not so long ago, but there are still certain differences.

The mites can boast a unique appearance and significantly facilitate the in-game resource mining process. They look like the silverfish you are already familiar with, which, by the way, are not that friendly toward the player. So if you are ready to try something new, be sure to read our review of the Mites mod to the end. In it, we have tried to thoroughly describe all the advantages of this comparatively small but important add-on for Minecraft.

Review of the Mites Mod

The mites are a new kind of silverfish in Minecraft. They have mutated and now perform completely different tasks. The more mature a mite becomes, the more certain resources it can bring, so players will be able to create their own farms using a large number of mites for that. So while you could be afraid of the silverfish, these creatures will appeal to you, as they facilitate your labor, automate the extraction of resources, and just look cool.

By default, the mites do not have any priorities, but when they come across a certain material, they show interest in it and try to mine this block. They can also have random characteristics and be born with a preference for particular blocks and will process them if they are present in their field of view. If you wish to tame this creature, you need to follow a certain algorithm and take into account all the features of its behavior in the Mites mod.

Features of the Mites

· They always follow the player who is holding honey in their hands;

· They can be bred with honey;

· They will swallow honey blocks placed nearby;

· Once a mite eats honey, it begins to mine a certain amount of resources.

If you decide to tame a mite and start getting resources with its help, you need to follow these steps:

1. Find it in the desert. They mostly come across in this biome, so you will have to cross a certain number of biomes to find the necessary one;

2. Feed the mint with the block you would like to mine;

3. After that, feed it with honey so that it follows you and performs certain tasks.

The mod also adds the mite inspector that allows you to see the behavior pattern of a mite, its type, and what it likes to do. Thus, you can read that the mite spends most of the time eating, is full of energy, and is completely healthy. With the help of such a hand magnifier, you can always determine what the advantages and disadvantages of a particular creature are. You should keep in mind, though, that you can only breed them with honey, and so you will have to create your own bee farm for that to constantly have the necessary amount of resources. That is difficult at the start but will eventually pay off and give great results.

Crafting the mite inspector requires a diamond, several sticks, and two glass blocks. With this item, you will be able to determine the types of the mites at any time, and that is extremely important for breeding unique and advanced specimens in Minecraft. Besides, the designer of the Mites mod has provided the possibility of the quick spawn of them with the help of a spawn egg. Their characteristics, in that case, will be as random as during the natural spawn in the desert. The mechanics of this mod are occasionally refined, and today, the Mites mod is available even for Minecraft 1.20 with the updated functionality. So if you would like to get such assistants at your disposal, be sure to install this add-on.

As you can see, this add-on cannot boast numerous features, but its mechanics are noteworthy. It is one of the most unusual mods for Minecraft that has to do with the silverfish, which are far from popular mobs not so frequently found in the vanilla game version. We also recommend that you install the Jade mod, which we have also reviewed, to see the characteristics and other important data about the mites allowing you to quickly determine which specimen you are facing. To breed and select advanced individuals, you will still have to craft the mite inspector and look at each mob separately. This is an important procedure that will subsequently pay off and give valuable fruits in the form of resources.
