== The Molten ==
The_Molten (Also: Gear, Cast Gear, Molten) - A creature found on versions 1.6.4 and higher. The creature is a player model with a skin that mimics the texture of the lava source along with the Gear texture on the front of the head. Gear — Red dust block concept from the Indev version, which was later replaced by the above-mentioned counterpart.
== Presence signs and behavior ==
For starters, it's worth noting that the creature does not make directional actions. in relation to the player or other creatures, taking a more observational position, observing from afar. The creature disappears when approached by more than 32 blocks, and, interestingly, it may well exist in the same world with other mystical creatures, treating them like a player ... Most often, the creature can be found in lava lakes on the surface: Sometimes it spins on its axis, not paying attention to the player. Currently known signs:
*Replacement of water sounds with sounds of lava sources, replacement of footsteps with sounds of anvils.
*Turning planks into coal blocks
*Gradual replacement of wood with iron blocks.
*Conversion of lava to iron blocks and vice versa.
*Solidification of lava (I.v. Lava without flow)
*Destruction of blocks associated with red dust.
Note: The creature, despite its non-aggressive attitude towards the player, nevertheless brings inconveniences: Too long stay in one place will turn all the boards and trees into coal and iron.
Note 2: The creature appears to be susceptible to hostile mobs attack, however it annihilates them digitally in one hit, and no damage was noticed from the creature.

“—... oh, speaking of Mystic, I somehow ran into such a thing. I'm a seasoned player and don't really like new versions, the spirit is not the same, and the original atmosphere of the game is lost. I played on 1.6.4, and how- then once I got bored. I decided to play with totems, or as the hoaxers call them there. Nothing really worked, I decided to try to make something like a cross made of iron with redstone blocks between them, covering with dust on top. Like, no iron blocks for he doesn't use altars, you never know? I don’t believe in it, of course, but, nevertheless, it worked. Of course I don’t remember now, but if my memory does not fail, the Altar turned into lava. And Redstone disappeared altogether. I didn’t pay much attention to attention, until my house turns from planks into a coal box. Architecture is alien to me, so yes, I live in a box. And of course I took advantage of this - Coal on the road in such quantities is not lying around. Further worse, the wood began to be replaced with iron. At first I thought it was a freebie, but when the need for a tree appeared, I felt uncomfortable. I had to travel, and I can swear some orange figure was watching me. "

“—... Yes, I tried to do it again. In fact, I didn't really remember what I called this thing, so I did everything in a row. It seemed to work, the signs are the same. Since I switched to version 1.12.2 after that incident, I got Optifine, so I could look at objects in the distance. Although strange, there were signs that he didn’t seem to be in. It felt like something was surviving in the same world with me. I could look at that figure for a long time , and she seemed to be doing the same thing. Watched me, but I'm not a bastard either! And what's funny, when I found another ... player, I don't know what it was at all ... Our observant friend was watching this someone "
== Theory ==
As you know, in version Alpha 1.0.1_01 Gears were replaced by redstone. Probably, the creature is some kind of revenge of red dust, as evidenced by its destruction of redstone mechanisms.
