Create: Bionics

A small Create add-on that adds five craftable robot animals. All five are meant to help with survival exploration and resource gathering, the only expense being the occasional refueling with coal, charcoal, or blaze cakes.
All five robots can be customized with andesite, brass, and copper variants accessible by simply right-clicking on the robots with the respective ingot. Note that you need to remove cosmetic skins with a wrench.

Anole

The Anole is a small lizard robot that can be crafted early in the game and accompany your adventures in mob or item form, the latter sitting on your shoulder when held in either hand. The presence of the anole, whether in your hand or walking by your side, is enough to scare away all spiders and insects. In addition to the standard andesite, brass, and copper, the Anole also has a netherite skin and oxidized variants that can be applied with a wet sponge.

Matchbox

The Matchbox carries up to 4 stacks of torches and places them in dark areas around you. If left to wander, it will automatically light up any dark areas it comes across. You can switch between sunlight or cave mode for torch placing, or disable it entirely by shift-clicking.

Seeker

The Seeker can accompany players in caves like the Matchbox. When given any ore, metal, or mineral, it will search the surrounding area for a corresponding ore block. If one is found, the Seeker will dig underground for several seconds before returning with the ore block. If unsuccessful, the item you gave it will be consumed, so be mindful of where you use it. Giving a Seeker a diamond or netherite pickaxe will allow it to dig faster. Because of the Seeker's ore finding mechanic, you'll have to hold shift while adding some skins.

Oxhauler

The Oxhauler is a large cow-like robot that carries 6 chests worth of storage, as well as a full 3x3 crafting grid. Additionally, it can easily plough land and harvest crops when given a mechanical plough or a mechanical harvester respectively.

Replete

The Replete's stand-out feature is its massive fluid tank, capable of carrying 160 buckets of any fluid, including those from other mods. The Replete is an easy way to transport fluids across long distances when trains are unavailable and/or the distance is too far to warrant a pipe system. It can also gather surrounding fluids if they match the contents of its tank.
