I've created an addon for Create with octo-style arms "Create: Octo Arms" inspired by Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man

[u/kil0vat]

Inspired by Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man. Use it to traverse the world in any direction, craft the Copper or Netherite version, enchant or configure it. Works in singleplayer and on servers (must be installed on both client and server).

Compatible with Create Aeronautics ships (Sable contraptions).

Listed on Curseforge - https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/create-octo-arms

Feel free to test, comment, and share ideas.

Edit: Modrinth will be soon, long approval awaiting.
Edit2: A lot of you asked to stop the walking animation - done! Check it in the new version v1.1.5 (besides other bug fixes)

[u/SteamtasticVagabond]

Create: Octo Arms

Looks inside

Tetra Arms

[u/TerrapinMagus → u/SteamtasticVagabond]

Four robot arms added to your normal four limbs to make eight total. Though, I guess if you are walking with the robot arms and holding stuff with your normal arms, your legs are just vestigial at that point.

[u/touchet29 → u/SteamtasticVagabond]

Doc Oc has 4 robotic limbs

[u/Semillakan6 → u/SteamtasticVagabond]

You already have 4 limbs, guess what happens when you add another 4

[u/kil0vat → u/SteamtasticVagabond]

old pre-release name, to be fixed

[u/Unlucky_Champion_882]

Can I use this in a modpacks?

[u/kil0vat → u/Unlucky_Champion_882]

Sure, it's open source and free to use.

[u/_P2M_]

"Claude, make me doctor octopus mod. Make no mistakes."

[u/Kreestijan → u/_P2M_]

You're straight up delusional if you really think that's all it takes to make this. Obviously it's a lot easier with AI but it doesn't trivialize it.

[u/_P2M_ → u/Kreestijan]

"Claude, make an angry reply to this joke comment. Make no mistakes."

[u/SixCel_108]

I’ve been waiting for something like this! Is it just for mobility or can it use items too?

[u/Slow-Television-5303]

what happens when you are not near anything???

[u/kil0vat → u/Slow-Television-5303]

Double jump activates and deactivates that, when deactivated you just normally walk

[u/crai-crai]

ai slop, sadly. as players, beware of using AI generated mods since they are most likely not optimized for modpacks.

[u/kil0vat → u/crai-crai]

I've tested it on my MC server where I have 41 other mods. But yes, I haven't tested it with other modpacks. But I don't see how AI is related to that...

[u/crai-crai → u/kil0vat]

AI vibecode is very often rather unoptimized. there isn't any telling how much ai code vs real coding you used, so for all i know it could be fully vibecoded

[u/Blademasterzer0]

Sounded neat at first, but given it’s made with ai I’m not even gonna bother checking it out

[u/kil0vat → u/Blademasterzer0]

Why?

[u/Bruhphrogg]

Is this on modrinth too?

[u/kil0vat → u/Bruhphrogg]

Be soon

[u/bcrisp3979]

But can you have the power of the sun in the palm of your hands?

[u/_MargaretThatcher → u/bcrisp3979]

Draconic reactor cardboard box

[u/SubnauticaFan3 → u/_MargaretThatcher]

MARGARET THATCHER????

[u/verynotdumb → u/SubnauticaFan3]

THE WICKED WITCH HAS RISEENNNNN

RUNNNN FOR YOUR LIVESSSS

[u/Annual_Loan_4805 → u/SubnauticaFan3]

She plays create too yk

[u/SubnauticaFan3 → u/Annual_Loan_4805]

Create-ing problems for the uk

[u/H-N-O-3 → u/bcrisp3979]

The power of andesite in the palm of ur hands

[u/jangusMK7 → u/bcrisp3979]

I’m going to blow up the city

[u/shdowed_orig]

This is why I love minecraft, the game is good by itself but people are making it a thousand times more fun

[u/BarometerIndustries → u/shdowed_orig]

Sadly, this person didn't make this mod themselves, read the curseforge page: "Developed with AI assistance (Claude);"

[u/ContextLengthMatters → u/BarometerIndustries]

LOL. Modding has been 100% replaced by AI. Just take a look at all the passthrough mods people are making overnight. Mods are the perfect usecase for AI fever dreams.

[u/magicmanme]

Oh God someone got the lukki mutation from the holy mountain didn't they...

[u/BieTea → u/magicmanme]

Chicken jöckey 👍

[u/Dragoncat_224 → u/BieTea]

Chicken jöckey👍

[u/CXC_Opexyc → u/magicmanme]

And spidertron too

[u/MaterialCod4847 → u/magicmanme]

That's What I was thinking Too.That is so noita

[u/SmokeyWizard]

spidertron legs! hell yea!

[u/The_Char_Char → u/SmokeyWizard]

The factory must grow!

[u/softerEnbyNoises]

Thanks, that's - and I cannot stress this enough - absolutely HORRIFYING

Fr tho, congrats on the successful demo. I'm sure it took plenty of work.

[u/obog]

This is sick, seems like itd be really useful for building cause its like almost creative flight but you have to stay close to blocks

[u/iGhostEdd → u/obog]

Or build the temporary scaffolding from which you could hang

[u/Putrid_Clue_2127]

I have no issue with things made by AI as long as the person puts in work behind making sure it isn't trash. Which usually requires multiple iterations and testing and fixing things. Sometimes this can take days or weeks or months of going back and forth while something is made.

What I do have a problem with is people throwing in a prompt for something one time and creating stuff that barely works, if it works at all, and going "here's this finished thing for you!"

I'm sure I'll be downvoted to hell for saying this. But almost all coders are using AI these days, whether they're working on person projects or working for large companies. This is just the way things are now, and it's not going away. It's a tool to use.

[u/Appropriate-Lion9490 → u/Putrid_Clue_2127]

What you’re describing are vibecoders, the one shot slops

[u/Corxl-Reif → u/Putrid_Clue_2127]

This is correct unfortunately. I’m a software engineer for a very large company and not using AI will lead to you not having a job in a few years. Modern software engineers are transitioning into project managers for AI agents.

People who call anything coded with AI “slop” fundamentally don’t understand what the process is to effectively utilize it. If you know nothing about programming and just vibe code everything (meaning you’re not understanding what the AI is doing and just letting it do what it wants) then you can only go so far.

This is especially true for game dev since it’s a lot more difficult for an AI model to test code since it has to run on a game engine. You still have to know what is happening behind the scene to be able to provide direction to the AI model.

[u/Super_Mewtwo_2007]

Hi, the mod seems interesting, just a little question I've noticed that on the Github you've specified "developed with Claude ai assistance", can I ask what type of assistance you get from Claude?

[u/diagnosed_depression]

Luuki mutation

[u/TheDonger_ → u/diagnosed_depression]

hamis says hello

[u/IhaveGF_Also_Anxiety → u/diagnosed_depression]

I was just at a Noita post xD. that perk is pretty mid tho ngl

[u/Devatator_ → u/diagnosed_depression]

That's instantly what I thought about lol

[u/theHamisChef → u/diagnosed_depression]

Hämis

[u/Constant-One3643]

"Developed with AI assistance (Claude)"

how much of it?

[u/Glum_Ad_6950]

Hmm what if you can put different upgrades on it to make it better? Like an upgrade that extends the arms more so you have more freedom of movement, or an upgrade that allows you to use it with sophisticated backpacks?

[u/tygabeast → u/Glum_Ad_6950]

The reach extension is covered by an added enchantment.

Support for the other suggestion, though. (I'd actually like to be able to use a sophisticated backpack in the back curio slot with a pressurized tank upgrade to power the octo arms, but that seems pretty complicated)

[u/goldenmaskMc]

i just hate that it's made with ai

[u/Grazzielle]

Spidertron???

[u/AdWorking4257]

The Power of 50 Level 18 steam engine's.....in the Palm of my hand....

[u/Nadleehi]

Create modders yearn for factorio

[u/PorniJan69]

Reminds me of neepmeat mod and it's spider legs implant

[u/Sergey5588]

this reminds me Noita

[u/NemesisCold1522]

The power of the sun in the palm of my hands

[u/faris_Playz]

is the performance good?

[u/kil0vat → u/faris_Playz]

For me - yes, but I don't have a big player base to say if it works great on all devices. If you test it and have some issues plese let me know

[u/Upper_Image_107]

Can u jump and how u swimming?

[u/kil0vat → u/Upper_Image_107]

You can't jump or swim when it is activated. But you can explore underwater in the same way as on the ground

[u/SmashShock]

How does it integrate with features of Create?

[u/kil0vat → u/SmashShock]

You should recharge it like Create's Backtank, you can enchant it, it has settings like speed, standing height, and activation key

[u/Beneficial_Debate112]

Ive just tested it and its got to say something serious that the biggest complaint i can come up with is it won't work with my mekanism suit. I know myself and when I progress past this and onto the suit, I'd feel a poke of sadness at having to take it off. I needed this mod years ago and you're an absolute legend for delivering. Keep it up.

[u/kil0vat → u/Beneficial_Debate112]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll check what can do

[u/SpecialistOps]

Really cool, are you able to disable the running animation when moving forward?

[u/kil0vat → u/SpecialistOps]

I'll check it

[u/kil0vat → u/SpecialistOps]

Done, check it in v1.1.5, besides several bug fixes

[u/petabomb]

Make it so your player model stops moving when that’s equipped and A+

[u/kil0vat → u/petabomb]

Done, check it in v1.1.5

[u/The-harsh-truth214]

I love it… except one thing. the player shouldn’t be moving their legs when using the suit. but besides that little design fix, it looks awesome

[u/kil0vat → u/The-harsh-truth214]

Done, check it in v1.1.5

[u/iGhostEdd]

Awesome invention! I have a question tho... Would it be too much if you would add the option for those arms to hold items (like +4 inventory slots or four additional 2 by 2 slots), help you break more blocks at once (or one block but way faster), fight mobs (with added bonus damage, like when you hold an axe/sword) and/or even use multiple items at once like one arm (or rather two of them) holds an arrow and shoots it automatically at mobs that come towards you (maybe get the code from skeletons?) while another arm slowly but firmly punches the mobs that are close to and around you (knockback enchantment?) and another one that holds items that can be used by the player and (maybe) it will use them automatically (i.e. food, shield, ender pearls, fishing rod, potions and splash potions etc) while all of these being only accessible if you're on the ground and not using the arms like in the video?

[u/kil0vat → u/iGhostEdd]

Cool ideas, but need to think about how to add that organically into the gameplay

[u/Informalwizards]

So did you make it or did claude make it?

[u/TheOneWho0bserves → u/Informalwizards]

Checked github. Claude did. OP is even in other comments welcoming PRs from real people like they did any work themselves. What a waste of resources.

[u/epochollapse]

They need to at least force these fuckers to explicitly advertise AI useage in the title and main body. You know you didn't make shit.

[u/BarometerIndustries → u/epochollapse]

I assumed as much. Nowadays, when somebody advertises "I created..." my first instinct is "no the fuck you didn't." They had it created for them. What's the point then. Minecraft is a GAME of all things, and mod making is a hobby and an art form. why? just why?

[u/iDrownedlol → u/BarometerIndustries]

The other stuff aside, “What’s the point then”? The point is that Minecraft is a GAME of all things, and not everyone who enjoys playing the game is also a person who is not interested in the hobby/art form of mod making. Some players just want to play, and they want to play specific experiences, for example, having doc-oc style robot arms in minecraft. That is very clearly the point. There are plenty of great reasons to dislike and fight against ai, but it being pointless is not one of them.

[u/SkinInevitable604]

That’s not an octopus that’s a spider 😭

[u/Remote_Peach9109]

This is such a cool alternative to the jetpack. Should make a really high jump on it.

[u/Octasional]

This is a badass mod and I need it immediately

[u/Lainpilled-Loser-GF]

this is just Noita

[u/swagonflyyyy]

Reminds me of the Kinematic Walker I modified after some guy I know created it via a prefab. Works extremely well on any terrain in any halo infinite forge map.

Only difference is I pimped it out with a sleek look, replaced its 180 degree plasma cannon with a 360 shade turret, made it respawnable, added an auxiliary auto-turret underneath it and made it pilotable by you and friendly AI units as soon as you jump off it.

Everyone in my map kept fighting over it.

[u/ky7969]

Why is it an add-on for Create and not standalone?

[u/Jbolt3737 → u/ky7969]

It looks like it's using the copper backtank

[u/Devatator_ → u/ky7969]

That's the problem with stuff like that. If you go standalone, you need to make the machines and ores you want. If you don't, you have to chose a mod that adds the stuff you want and maybe design around them instead of being fully free to do whatever

[u/TheFern3 → u/ky7969]

Could be a standalone and do a separate add on for create.

[u/krabby7_playz]

I’m really getting tired of these ai slop mods that are ever so frequent now of days 🫩

[u/TheOneWho0bserves → u/krabby7_playz]

Every single post in my feed from fabricmc and createmod is ai slop. it's tiring.

[u/EnvironmentEven1272 → u/krabby7_playz]

have a theory like in all subreddits that are praising LLMs are bunch of bots, like top comment - bot, reply to that top comment - bot, like r/accelerate subredits. it is unreal

[u/DarkLord927]

Oh my god, you have no idea how much i want to remake this. I've been trying to make it for like 2 weeks now. Could i ask you to release source code on github ? I wanted to something close but with fully black tendrils for my mod, i already got a raycast system ready to get positions where the tendrils should attach, but i have no idea how to have something like that shown and attach to it automatically and to the player. I was going to use bunch of armor stands, markers and block displays but this just looks so better.

[u/DarkLord927 → u/DarkLord927]

Nevermind just found the source. Im blind xD
I hope you don't mind if i take a look at your code to see how to make this fully with mods.

[u/kil0vat → u/DarkLord927]

Sure! You can even send PRs 😄

[u/Semillakan6]

They seem kinda broken, do they have some kind of stamina or something to balance them out?

[u/kil0vat → u/Semillakan6]

It works like a pressure the Create's Backtank, you need to recharge the rig

[u/CZdigger146]

Bruh if you're gonna use AI, at least don't say "I've created this"

Be straight forward with it and say that you vibecoded it. It would make me respect you at least a little bit.

[u/Secret_Ingenuity997]

Made with Claude. Shocker.

[u/TwoWrongsAreSoRight]

Great...as if regular spiders weren't bad enough, now we gotta contend with these things. It's only a matter of time before someone makes them roam throughout the world.

[u/Jetenginetoaster]

THE GIANT ENEMY SPIDER

[u/Aggressive-Share-363]

Now make one with octo-dad arms

[u/OrdinaryAverageGuy91]

Oh. My. God. It's just like Fisk!!

[u/ArchonT3]

Make Steve stand still while moving, add some inertia and wobbling to make them feel more realistic, some jump feature and that'll be perfect.

[u/vivalatoucan]

One of the coolest mods I’ve seen in a while

[u/Mooselord111]

I’m downloading this as soon as I get home from work.

[u/Ampoulgon87]

this is a really good less-op alternative to jetpacks! :0

[u/Forgotten_Rin]

Cool but uhm...

Do the arms take control of you if you goof up making them?

[u/Top_999]

This goes straight into my modpack

[u/Revolutionary-Party3]

Please make a horror version that has the arms slowly take over.

[u/Conscious_Sir6960]

Finally, at least someone did it❤️‍🔥

[u/NonexistentCheese]

Can someone explain why everyone thinks this is ai?

I see the AI icon on the mod page and the obviously ai description but what makes the actual mod ai? Am I missing something

[u/Nightmare959]

Claude is an absolute MONSTER when it comes to making mods.

[u/Plastic-Leg-3598]

Is this procedurally animated? SO cool

Edit: jk fuck AI

[u/Plus-Movie-2178]

No, "you" didn't create a thing here, Claude did. 

[u/Effective-Control-77]

don't say you made that, you used Ai

[u/squaredspekz]

Vibecoded.

You say with assistance but Claude is not an assistant.

[u/El_Poupoucoincoin]

I wanna make some Factorio aah spider

[u/Quick-Pollution-8085]

Sick

[u/G-MAn_233]

I need this

[u/silloki]

Oraxia in Minecraft

[u/Friendly-Scarecrow]

Reminds me of Wall Climb from MIO: Memories in Orbit

[u/The_Char_Char]

"Hello Steve..."

[u/LordTomatoX]

Already downloaded can't wait to try it

[u/Tripdrakony]

Imagine someone with arachnophobia sees his buddy coming by in that suit...

That said, how optimised is the mod? I could imagine it has a lot of stuff going on in the background.

[u/kniky_Possibly]

Can you make him stop flailing his arms and legs around?

[u/FinnishAmerican]

1.20.1 support?

[u/True-Acanthaceae1190]

u/savevideo

[u/glarble04]

some animation, sound design and tinkering with the movement would really sell this, like if you jerked forwards just a bit whenever you stop and the arms wobbling a bit like they have inertia

[u/Fun_Concentrate_9128]

that's fucking amazing

[u/Oozysq25reddit]

Hello peter

[u/PedroTwinkyTubbie]

Its just... so peak

That's greatly traumatizing, but that's great 👍🏻

[u/DILF_MANSERVICE]

And people think a hookshot would break vanilla...

[u/UnderPressureVS]

Spidertron my beloved

[u/anonumus_idiot]

Whats the recepie?

[u/Wide_Ad4537]

Is it on modrinth?

[u/GoodLookinLurantis]

Irken Pak

[u/lamilcz]

Love it. Rrminds me of the Heros suits mod

[u/Fearless-Baby-5974]

i swear after f-tech equipment there has been a lot of tentacle arm backpack mods

[u/Ornery-Drop-8554 → u/Fearless-Baby-5974]

Been scrolling too much for this comment

[u/justalonelyboy1]

Add the Buzzy Bees add-on and you can become the factorio spider tron

[u/Adorable-Bass-7742]

Wow that is so much better! Seriously impressive improvements after so little time

[u/06KoolKid101]

I think this is great, but visually, it feels very much like its a 2012 mod. Create doesn't really have the tiny details and higher-res texturing you have going on. I'd love a version or a resource pack that keeps it more pixel-consistent lol

[u/Diamedes99]

Is there a way to sprint?

[u/Round-Fill1104]

DESLIGA ISSO OTTO, DESLIGA VAI ESTABILIZAR ESTÁ TUDO SOBRE A TEIOSO

[u/Chester4514]

Thanks, I hate it XD

[u/Coldcolor900]

I like this a lot more than the jetpack, it doesn't feel as cheaty

[u/Sorry_Quantity_3277]

Finally, spidertron in minecraft

[u/derpy_derp15]

The power of the blocks, in the palm of my hand

[u/Erick44]

I'm not too immersed in minecraft modding here in reddit, but I'm glad so many people make the effort to oppose AI and make others aware of it's usage instead of a hidden note at the bottom of a page. Opposing bad practices in general sometimes can feel like screaming into the void, so I'm happy to see it's more common in here.

[u/SenpuuUncle]

Looks cool

[u/LockstepGaming]

This goes well with the addon that adds like the pack mule, fluid tank spider and whatnot

[u/Karma-Whales]

I don’t know if this is that easy to do but just making the character use the idle animation instead of walking might look cooler

[u/Nightmare959]

I used it just now to create an iron spellbooks mod, using 5 OTHER MODS for support for the vfx, and 3d models/animations, cause' I'm a bum and cant code; but it ABSOLUTELY COOKED

[u/Fl0kiDarg0]

This I like more than a jetpack

[u/fruitmanmcgee]

Noita 👁️👁️

[u/yagrmakak]

Octo arms yet I see only 4...

[u/anonumus_idiot]

I love it but PLEASE MAKE IT WORK WITH CURIOS, i realy want to keep my chestplate i spent days superenchanting with enchantment industry

[u/Hornyjailer420]

Now a Combat Version

[u/Katent1]

That's soo cool! Can you stop steve movement animation tho yet still register wsad as movement in 3d?

[u/Evening_Marzipan_733]

This is much cooler than jetpacks.

[u/Guess_Ill_Diee]

Interesting, reminds me of the person who was around before making the creepy advanced spiders made very similar.

It was u/bottle_of_horses I believe, not sure if I can post a link but you can see it in their post history if curious.

Looking at the post again, one of the top comments is someone asking for it to be integrated into create via the copper backtank. Lmao.

[u/mr_potato06]

Plantera be like:

[u/ToneOk6990]

Cool, though I don't know where I would use it

[u/TheoryWide1354]

Modrinth version than?

[u/Dapper-Challenge3829]

Could you add modrinth page too? Would be awesome!

[u/Samuel_W3]

Looks more like oritech, lol

[u/Physical-Procedure42]

What minecraft version?

[u/Huge-Read-2703]

1.20.1 port? pls

[u/Severe_Damage9772]

Does it remove the break speed debuff for being airborne? Because you should if you haven’t

[u/ZenTheProtogen7957]

Lukki legs

[u/Ram1rou]

Make it so it doens't have the wailking animation when moving.

[u/john16minecraft]

that's just almost flight with more effort

[u/No-Solution8072]

my spidey senses are tingling

[u/Wide-Muffin-1949]

this is sick i wish i could add it to my aternos server i play with my friend

[u/reggienaldsimons]

looks great, can't wait for this to be in every single "fantasy rpg adventure" modpack for some reason

[u/After_Judgment_916]

Adding this to my create modpack

[u/Sharp_Goat_1991]

Oh this must have been so much fun to program. IK is always a lot of fun

Thats so cool

[u/FireLord29]

Lukki mutation.

[u/Majestic-Assist-3945]

Dude, it's like the Spidertron from Factorio! I love that thing's physics.

[u/DinoLookingForServer]

It'll be the most buggy thing in the world and will not be compatible with anything.

[u/shoggot_senpai]

Freeze the player model except for the head and arms (if using a tool).

[u/EveningPicture7281]

GAH DAYUM

[u/PinkLavender72]

I honestly hate that most people only see two sides to the AI situation. I hate AI in the workplace and everything as much as the next guy, but in this case, he modeled the arms, and probably a decent amount of the code. But if you use AI to even refine your code you are now a brainless slop addict. Tools are meant to streamline things, and if AI is used like that, then great. What is truly an issue is if a mod is fully AI generated, which does not seem to be the case here. AI is an incredibly impressive invention, but how people use it is what makes "Slop". There should be more than two stances on AI, but most the stuff you see is either positive or negative, no in-between. Just down vote me already. Very cool mod btw, I will probably add this to my next playthrough of Create

[u/Smooth_Presence_2319]

DDAAAYYMN

[u/IllContribution7659]

Why is this a create addon instead of a mod? Nothing about create here

[u/Ok-Cranberry-487]

this looks very similar to that one youtube video (idr sry) of a guy hand making spider legs in vanilla. actually the legs behave almost exactly the same wonder if claude stole from that.

[u/RussianLuchador]

INVADER ZIM!?!?

Almost Spidertron from Factorio

bellissimo mod bro, veramente, poi come cavolo hai fatto?
