Spectral Miner is a dangerous mob added by Harken Scythe. They closely resemble Herobrine. It can only be harmed by a damage from a Scythe or a sword with the Soulsteal augment (not Soul Stealer, which is from the Soul Shards mod). Other forms of damage will have no effects whatsoever.

Harken Scythe - Spectral Miner

A Spectral Miner in Mob form (left) and Soul form (right)

The Spectral Miner spawns with one of five Vanilla Pickaxes. When in close proximity to a Spectral Miner, the player suffers from a constant Blindness debuff. It lasts until the Miner is killed or the player moves away. When hit by a Spectral Miner, the player will suffer from 2 minutes of Mining Fatigue.

Spawn Location/Behavior[]

The Spectral Miner is a hostile mob that spawns underground, appearing as a dropped Soul (albeit much darker in color) floating in place. When the player attempts to collect its soul, it reveals its true appearance and becomes hostile. Spectral Miners have low movement speed, and it will stalk any player within its vicinity. At close range it will strike the player with its pickaxe. An Ectoplasm (Mob) may spawn when a Spectral Miner takes damage. When killed it can drop the pickaxe it was holding.

The Spectral Miner may also spawn if a Harbinger kills a player and reanimates their soul.

Notes[]

  • Spectral Miners are immune to nearly all forms of damage in the game besides the mentioned methods. Void damage (Verification Needed) does not seem to be inflicted.

Trivia[]

  • There is another mob named "Spectral Miner", though it appears unused. It resembles Steve rather than Herobrine, and can be tamed with Creepballs like any other Spectral Mob. They do not share the same damage resistance as their used counterpart.
