Mebahel's Creatures - Dwarven Automatons
by Mebahel
Dwarven Automatons, a Mebahel mod, adds a complete Dwemer-inspired mechanical faction with hostile machines, summonable companions and ancient ruins to explore.
What it does
The mod brings hostile machines modeled on Dwemer technology from the Elder Scrolls games into the world. Automatons, Dwarven Spiders, Spider Guardians, Spheres and Centurions each fill a different combat role. Automatons reposition, transform, fire ranged attacks and release steam, and they react differently depending on the encounter.
Players can move through forgotten underground settlements, factory-like complexes and hazardous passages, plus rare structures spread across several biomes, including deep areas below the surface. Dwarven invocation staves call a Spider or Sphere companion into battle beside the player. Scrap and mechanical components can be recovered and refined into Dwemer Metal for weapons, armor, tools and building materials. Personal chest loot gives each player their own rewards, which suits multiplayer servers. Entity stats, companion damage, armor and loot behavior can be configured for modpacks.
Installation needs Geckolib, Mebahel's API and Mebahel's Elder Scrolls Core. Files cover Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The latest file is 1.4.0 for 1.21.1, published 2026-10-06, and the mod is not open source; it is under All rights reserved.
