What it does

Craft a Grinning Helper Doll and use it on the ground: a Grinning Helper appears, already your friend. On its first day it follows you and fetches. Any item that has lain for 5 seconds within 10 blocks of it is picked up and handed to you, or dropped at your feet if your inventory is full.

Every sunrise changes it. From the second day it stops helping, backs away whenever you come within 10 blocks and follows from up to 24 blocks away, staring at you; anything it was still carrying is left on the ground. From the third day, each Minecraft block you place within 32 blocks of it (not a block from another mod) is copied 2 seconds later beside it, turned a quarter and leaning over as it rises, up to 48 copies a day. From the fourth night, while you are under a roof with a door within 8 blocks, it appears outside that door after dark, knocks, and stands there for 10 seconds, every 30 seconds. From the fifth night it stalks you after dark, moving only while you look away. When it reaches you, you are left in darkness for 6 seconds and it reappears 20 blocks behind you, keeping its distance for 90 seconds.

It never hurts you and never opens or breaks a door. A copied block crumbles into nothing when broken or blown up, so its builds give no blocks back. It has 20 health, doesn't breed or appear in the wild, and the only way to be rid of it is to defeat it.

  • 5 stages over 4 nights, from helpful to stalking

  • Copies up to 48 of your placed blocks a day into crooked builds
  • Knocks every 30 seconds while you shelter within 8 blocks of a door

  • 20 health

How to craft it

  • Grinning Helper Doll

    Crafting table, in any arrangement

    • White wool, 2
    • Bone, 1
    • String, 1
    • Cookie, 1

How to install Grinning Helper

  1. Import the .mcaddon, then turn on both packs in your world's settings (Behavior Packs and Resource Packs). No experiments are needed.
  2. At a crafting table, combine 2 white wool, 1 bone, 1 string and 1 cookie in any arrangement to make a Grinning Helper Doll.
  3. Use the doll on the ground (right-click on Windows, tap on touch screens) to call your Grinning Helper. The doll is used up.
  4. On its first day, leave items on the ground near it and it brings them to you. After that, expect it to change at every sunrise; when you have had enough, defeat it. It never fights back.
What changed

    It copies only Minecraft's own blocks, so it no longer makes working copies of another mod's blocks

Which version do I have?
