Tutorials/Mini mes

= Mini Me's in Vanilla Minecraft =

Have you ever wanted a buddy in Minecraft other than a dog or a cat? Well, this page is here to help you create a redstone mechanism that gives you a close second to a buddy! (Please note: This tutorial page is for Minecraft versions 1.8 and over, since Armor Stands were first introduced in "The Bountiful Update" (aka, MC 1.8). Also, if you want one on Survival, your world requires cheats to be enabled. You'll see why later.).

Mini Me's, in general, are special illusions made in Minecraft that make you think an | Armor Stand is following you! Mini me's are made with special redstone mechanisms. Some are gigantic world-sized circuits that really smart people make, some are fairly difficult that give you a challenge, and some are simple and easy to make, like mine described below.

There are some great tutorials on how to do it in general, but the one I made here condenses all that trouble to a tiny little structure. (Please note: If you are a novice to commands, click this link to go to the "Commands" page on this wiki!)

Here's a tutorial by docm77:

If you want to know how to make a mini me, you need to understand how diiferent systems work to come together. (Such as a constant teleportation system gives the illusion that an Armor Stand is following you.)

If you want to build a simple one without looking at my tutorial, here's a step-by-step list of what you should do to make a mini-me mech of your own:

Step 1 of 3 : Create a custom Armor Stand
First of all, you need to create a custom Armor Stand that will represent your mini me. This is a custom command I made to create a stand that looks like a tiny "Sky Does Minecraft" with golden armor, using command blocks. Here's the command I used to make it:

/summon ArmorStand ~ ~1 ~ {CustomName:MiniSky,CustomNameVisible:1,NoBasePlate:1,ShowArms:1,Small:1,Equipment:[{id:golden_sword,Count:1},{id:golden_boots,Count:1},{id:golden_leggings,Count:1},{id:golden_chestplate,Count:1},{id:skull,Damage:3,tag:{SkullOwner:"SkythekidRS"}}]}

Feel free to use this command during this tutorial.

Step 2 of 3 : Create an invisible Dog or Cat
Next, you must now create an invisible dog, or cat. You can do this with either one of two ways:

Way 1
Tame a Wolf/Ocelot and toss an invisibility potion on it (duh!)

Way 2
Use these two commands to summon one with an infinite effect and no particles:

/summon Wolf ~ ~1 ~ {CustomName:SkyWolf,Owner:playername} The term "playername" used here is used as a variable representing your Username on Minecraft. Just replace "playername" with your username. Simple problem, simple fix.

/effect @e[type=Wolf,name=SkyWolf] invisibility 100000 255 true If you want a cat instead of a dog, simply replace the "Wolf" in the first command with "Ozelot"(without the quotation marks).

Step 3 of 3 : Teleportation System
Lastly, you now need a mechanism to constantly teleport the Armor Stand to your invisible dog. Here's a really simple clock with a 1/4 tick pulse rate!

First Step
First, make a structure of command blocks, 3 blocks tall. Break the block in the middle, and place another command block adjacent to the space between the two command blocks. Photo shown at bottom of page.

Second Step
Second, you must enter commands into these command blocks(duh!-again.) In the top block, enter this command:

/setblock ~ ~-1 ~ redstone_block

In the block underneath the top block, enter this command:

/setblock ~ ~1 ~ air

In the last block, enter this command, depending on if you used a cat or not. Like before, just replace "Wolf" with "Ozelot":

/tp @e[type=ArmorStand,name=MiniSky] @e[type=Wolf,name=SkyWolf]
