Have you ever dreamed of having your own droid companion like R2-D2? This mod adds R2-D2 as a fully vanilla-friendly droid companion, designed to blend naturally into the Minecraft world without breaking its visual style. Explore the desert, find Jawas, and trade with them. With a bit of luck, you might obtain a damaged R2-D2, which you can repair to turn him into your loyal companion on all your adventures.
CUSTOMIZE IT YOUR WAY
You can change R2-D2’s color using Minecraft dyes. The available colors are: pink, blue, black, gray, orange, green, yellow, and red.
HOW TO OBTAIN R2-D2
- To get your own R2-D2, you’ll need to interact with Jawas, who spawn naturally in desert biomes.
- They trade in a similar way to Piglins, and their main interest is iron ingots.
- Offer them iron, and you’ll receive random items in return. If you're lucky, they might give you a Damaged R2-D2 Unit.
- Repair it with a Wrench to bring your new droid companion back to life.
