Mobs

Mobs are the creatures that roam the landscape of lunacraft. Some are aggressive, while some only attack if provoked. None of the Minecraft mobs are present in lunacraft. Though each mob in lunacraft may represent a different mob in Minecraft. Mobs remain visible no matter how dark their environment - they appear to glow in the dark.

Astronauts

Four-block high astronauts that sometimes attack on sight, sometimes when provoked. They attack with a slug pistol, and they usually come in pairs, but sometimes end up battling each other to the death. They drop information disks when killed, which contain game tips that can be read by being placed in the scanner. There are five types of astronaut; white, powder blue, mint green, pink and yellow. You can befriend any type of astronaut by throwing a bar of Refined Gold at it, once it has picked up the gold it will turn a bright green color and fight for you against other mobs. In addition, friendly astronauts can be summoned with a Beacon. (Currently, in game version 1.8.0, friendly astronauts are very buggy. Turrets may be a better choice for defense.)

Small Green Mob

A green square that does attack in explore mode. They have a black G on their back, and they will drop a biogel when killed. They can be killed with two slug pistol v1 shots. They are 1x1x1 square but are actually two blocks tall, making them the second smallest mob.

Brown Mob

A short, long mob that is found in open areas. They are about half the height but the same width as a green mob. If you get within their sight, they will quickly move towards you and explode. This sometimes causes you to lose your drill. You can approach them safely from behind, but if you get too close they will turn and attack. They can be killed (upon "death" they disappear without a trace) (approx. 8 shots w/ slug pistol v1), but currently they do not drop any items. They have the ability to transmute materials with their explosions; see the Alchemy section on the Brown Mob page.

Space Giraffe

A tall, white creature that resembles a giraffe. They will not attack, even if attacked. They do not seem to drop anything in the current version of the game.

Blue I

It's a blue creature that looks like the letter I. It will steal items from your inventory. Often, when this happens, you will not see the Blue I. A message will appear on your screen saying that something was stolen. The only way to get your item back is to kill it.

It is the rarest mob (with the exception of turrets which have to be made).

Similar Objects

Mobs share some properties with Turrets and the player, and all of these are probably implemented the same way by the program. See the Entity article.
