Craftformers Prime
Craftformers Prime brings Transformers gameplay to Minecraft Java Edition as a server-side mod for Fabric and Forge, built for 1.20.1.
What it does
Transformers are the subject of this technology mod, which adds their gameplay to the world. Players can become a Transformer in survival by using in-game methods rather than commands, and a Transformer can eat only Energon, which has to be mined, with caves as the usual place to look for it. Entity spawning for Transformers is not in the current build, and spawn eggs are only an idea the author has mentioned.
The author states that the project is a fan-made work that respects the franchise. The Transformers characters, content and intellectual property belong to Hasbro, and the author does not claim them. Craftformers Prime is a server-side only mod, so players join without installing it, and it is not open source: it carries All rights reserved. Files exist for Fabric and Forge, both 0.5.8.1 for 1.20.1, published on 2025-11-01, and the mod was first published on 2024-10-17.
Key features
Transformer survival
Players can become a Transformer in survival mode through in-game steps, without relying on commands.
Energon feeding
A Transformer eats only Energon, so Energon must be gathered to keep the character fed.
Cave-based Energon search
The author points to caves as a strong place to find Energon while mining.
Groundbridge build
A groundbridge structure can be built following the reference image the author supplied.
