Balloons can appear throughout the Overworld carrying monkeys or loot barrels containing ammo, Shorts, cosmetics, enchantments, and other items.

Imposter Monkeys

Some monkeys disguise themselves as normal Minecraft mobs. Break their disguise before stunning and capturing them.

Pipotrons

Powerful Pipotrons can begin appearing across different dimensions.

These tougher encounters have unique attacks and require a different approach than normal monkeys before they can be stunned and captured.                           

Capturing Pipotrons can reward rare items, cosmetics, and special enchantments.

Pipopedia

The Lab Console includes an in-game Pipopedia with information about monkeys, gadgets, Pipotchi, and other mod content.

Cosmetics!

Cosmetic items can be found while exploring or traded in the shop.
