Minecraft:Builder

Builders were Minecraft:Steve-skinned Minecraft:entities holding Minecraft:iron pickaxes that could break and place Minecraft:blocks. They were only available in the private development version Minecraft:Java Edition Beta 1.2_02 (20110517), which was never supposed to be released to the public.

Spawning

Builders spawn when a world is created. Beta 1.2_02 (20110517) is the only version they are available in. They can also be spawned with an unknown command.Template:Verify 4 builders normally spawn per world.

Sometimes, builders accidentally forget to follow a waypoint, but may return to their building.

Builders were designed to create a structure for the time lapse in the promotional video for Minecraft:Pocket Edition's release on the Xperia Play.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref>

Exploding

Builders explode and respawn after a couple of minutes. These explosions do not damage the player, but do damage other builders and destroy blocks.

Secret builders

• There are two types of unused "Secret Builder" entities, different from the regular builder. Both crash the game when enabled, unless modified to fix the crash.
  • The first one holds a Minecraft:golden pickaxe that does not render in-game. It appears to have similar behavior to the monster entity, where it walks around and attacks the player.<ref>net/minecraft/client/gamemode/SecretBuilder.class</ref>
  • The second roams around while holding an Minecraft:iron pickaxe, but is not programmed to build a schematic or follow waypoints like the regular builder.<ref>net/minecraft/client/gamemode/secret/SecretBuilder.class</ref>

Trivia

• When placing a block, builders may accidentally suffocate the Minecraft:player or themselves.
