Title

 


Extermination brings the terrifying Tripods from War of the Worlds (2005) into Minecraft. After an Invasion Event, these towering machines will rise from the ground, unleashing destruction upon the world. They are massive, nearly unstoppable, and endlessly hunting for survivors. As the invasion worsens, the Harvest begins. Tripods will release Blood Harvest and introduce even deadlier threats, including the powerful Uberpods, Tripod Harvesters and the Martians themselves. But the true horror awaits in Phase 3 with the arrival of a new boss... However, hope is not lost… Discover New loot and items from fallen Tripods all over the world and use alien technology to fight back or stop the Invasion.

● Important FaQ

[OLD] What is my console spaming?

Most mobs use special spawning conditions, which means that these mobs can only appear under certain conditions. If the spawning conditions work, this spam is created in the console.

► [OLD] Why can't I summon a mob?

Spawning Conditions determine which conditions must be met in order to spawn certain mobs. Some mobs only spawn above Y level 60. Some below. Most mobs can only spawn in the overworld than in other dimensions.

► Why are features missing in different versions?

It is recommended to play the newest versions of higher minecraft versions.

Not all features of MCreator available or the same in different versions.
For example: Version 1.19.2 doesn't have the feature of shield, better structure generation or custom villagers, but Version 1.20.1 does have them.

► Why are Mobs not spawning?

Tripods only spawn after the invasion has been triggered with the message "Extermination is on his way..." and are also rare.

Uberpods only spawn after the Harvest has been triggered with the message "The Harvest begins..." and are even rarer.

► How to does Invasion, Harvest and Domination start?

Invasion Event is triggered at day 3 during the day by a rare Trigger Entity. However, the number of mods can affect the probability. When the invasion starts, you get the message "Invasion is on his way..." and tripods can now appear at night.

Harvest Event is also triggered at day 5 during the day by a rare Trigger Entity, after the invasion has already begun. When the Harvest starts, you get the message "The Harvest begins..." and Uberpods and Tripod Harvesters can now appear at night, as well as Red Weed and Blood Harvest which is generated by Tripods and Tripod Harvesters.

Domination Event is also triggered at day 10 during the day by a rare Trigger Entity, after the Harvest has already begun. When the Domination starts, you get the message "Domination has begun..." and Red Weed grows much faster. It can also happen that an Emperorpod spawns if a Tripod or Uberpod dies on Red Weed or Blood Harvest. Or by using a "Calling Horn"

Alternatively, you can trigger the events with the creative items.

You can also trigger Invasion with the gamerule “startInvasions” by setting it to true.

Harvest can also be triggered by the gamerule “startHarvest” if you set it to true.

Domination can also be triggered by the gamerule “startDomination” if you set it to true.

► How to reset Invasion and Harvest?

Invasion and Harvest can be reset by using an Alien Decoder. However, if there are already aliens in the world, they will not despawn directly by using the Alien Decoder.

You can also reset Invasion with the gamerule “startInvasions” by setting it to false.

Harvest can also be reseted by the gamerule “startHarvest” if you set it to false.

► How to disable Aliens breaking blocks?

Aliens breaking blocks can be switched off using the gamerule "tripodGriefing" if it is set to false. 

► Why do Pods don't take damage?

It can happen that you hit pods in the head, but they do not receive any damage. This is because you usually have to aim below the head, but unfortunately this doesn't always work.

To deal damage efficiently, it is advisable to use grenades and throw them in the middle between the three legs.

► What does Blood Harvest and Red Weed do?

Red Weed is an organic substance left behind by Tripods, Emperorpods, and Tripod Harvesters when they kill a victim. It spreads slowly, and generates Blood Harvest. Standing on Blood Harvest inflicts damage.

However, this can be turned off with the gamerule "EnableBloodHarvestGrow" is set to false.

► Why is my Game lagging?

If you don't have a strong PC, the game can start to lag. This happens when Pods recognize an entity as a target and want to attack it. 



Tripod

Towering 24 blocks high, Tripods are nearly unstoppable war machines. They are immune to almost all damage types except explosions and Projectiles. Players must either attack their legs or hit the right spot on their head to deal damage. Tripods emerge from the ground after Invasion started and multiple lightning strikes hit the same location. Nearby players experience screen shaking as the Tripod rises. Their devastating Heat Rays can instantly kill unprepared players, destroy blocks, and deal area damage. Tripods can also release toxic gas, inflicting the Wither effect on nearby entities. If a Tripod kills an entity with its Heat Ray, Red Weed may spread beneath it, but only when the Harvest already started. The iconic Tripod horn can be heard as they roam. If defeated, they collapse and drop valuable loot, but there’s a chance Martians may appear. If they got defeated 40 blocks away from a player, a Tripod Body appears.

 

Show all Creatures

Pod Body

The remains of an ancient war, dead Pod Bodies can be found scattered across the Overworld. Those pod bodies can be mined with a pickaxe and drop useful loot. You can mine a body 6 times but it may spawns a dead martian body.

 

Uberpod

Uberpods are even deadlier and larger variants of Tripods. They have wider heads, five headlights, and spawn only after the "The Harvest begins..." message appears. Uberpods are more resilient, fire Heat Rays faster, and are far rarer than standard Tripods, and dont generate Red Weed, but they have shields which are visible when damaging them. If you damaged them enough, their shield breaks.

Tripod Harvester

Harvesters spawn only after the "The Harvest begins..." message appears. Unlike standard Tripods, Harvesters do not possess Heat Rays. Instead, when near players, they lower down and unleash long, writhing tentacles that pull all nearby targets toward them, leading to a gruesome death. 

Martian

Martians are alien creatures that have a 50% chance to spawn upon the death of a Tripod or Uberpod. They are weak and fragile but completely immune to damage from Blood Harvest.

Emperorpod

The Emperorpod is a poweful version of an standard tripod. It's as tall as Uberpods but have multiple headlights, and their main color is red. An Emperorpod spawns only if the Event "Domination" is active and a Tripod or Uberpod dies on Red Weed or Blood Harvest. You can also summon it by using a Calling Horn. They fire Heat Rays much faster, use toxic gas and generate Red Weed when kiling an entity. They also possesse the long tentacles that Harvesters use to pull victims towards them. Emperorpod also uses shields from Uberpod and have a red boss bar above them. Emperorpods can also control the attack targets of other pods to their own target, using them as support. If they die, they drop very useful loot.
