MetroManLives

1.8 (Oct 2026)

The Engineer joins, Megamind gets a satellite network with a Mega Satellite, and anyone can build Reanimen bodyguards.

Install note: still one jar with everything inside. Requires Palladium and FSang18's Heroes; Jade, Create and Curios are optional. Don't keep an old addonpacks\MetroManLives folder next to it.

New: The Engineer

• A new nanite anti-hero (she/her) with her own power tree. Get her powers with the Engineer Nanite Injector; an empty Infuser can extract them again.
• Liquid-metal nanotech that forms piece by piece: full armour with a spiked helmet, saw arms and throwable saw blades, a two-handed arm cannon whose full charge tunnels through blocks, and leg thrusters for flight (arrow keys set thrust, merging into one giant jet past 60%).
• Resize (a quarter to 4x size), Heal Swarm, Smother, Puppet Swarm and Total Control: take over any mob, wardens included, for 60 seconds.
• A Nanite Colors tab to recolour her, Dampener darts that shut her down, a Puppet Earpiece for the new Curios ear slot, and her own Chronicle branch. Nano gauntlets cost her no reserve.

New: Megamind's satellite network

• Build satellites at the Create a Hero assembler and launch them from a Satellite Launch Pad. They park 500 blocks up, watch and map 300 blocks around them, charge from the sun and link to each other.
• A Satellite Uplink at your lair opens the satellite map: look through any satellite's camera (scroll to zoom, arrow keys to switch satellite), track players (with a "Metro Man spotted" alert) and call down a Lanterns-style orbital strike. Satellites in range strike together for a bigger blast.
• Relay Satellites (unarmed, bigger battery, feed power to the rest), Megamind Glasses that show your coverage on the ground and list every satellite overhead, and satellites can be shot down or jammed.
• The Command Tablet now has a Satellites page, so you can use the satellite map from anywhere.

New: Mega Satellite and Mega Relay

• 1,250 blocks up, sees and strikes 750 blocks out, links 1,000. Its strike has a five-second red-sky warning, then a ring of 16 red beams closes in for a 10x blast and an 80-block crater (World Safety still applies). Mega Satellites in range strike together.
• Camera modes (Up arrow to pick, V to fire): Sweep beam, Tractor beam, Spy scan, EMP pulse, Copper rain, Orbital drop, Meteor call, Shield dome, Sky broadcast (a giant 3D hologram of your head with your message), Weather control, Satellite hunter and Deorbit. Relays dock with it to charge it first.
• The Mega Relay is its unarmed twin with a bigger, faster-sharing battery.
• Limits per type (gamerules): 16 small armed satellites and 16 relays (mmlMaxSatellitesPerType), 4 Mega Satellites and 4 Mega Relays (mmlMaxMegaPerType).

New: Reanimen

• Build corpse bodyguards on the Reanimation Table with a redstone signal: Standard, Tighten, Engineer and Mastermind, each upgrading the last. Right-click the table to see every tier's recipe and stats.
• Order them to follow, guard or patrol (the Reanimen Controller marks patrol paths), and pick who they may attack. Spawn eggs for every tier.

Changes and fixes

• Flight and falling no longer play the elytra wind sound.
• Creative tabs: Metro Man, Megamind, Copper, The Engineer and Metro City Misc, in order.
• Fixed a crash right after joining a world when an entity had no renderer (nanite blade).
