A new mod for Minecraft has combined the blocky world with the beloved Disney animated show Phineas and Ferb, adding fan-favorite character and world-renowned spy Perry the Platypus. At almost ten years old, Minecraft's modding scene is one one of the most popular and varied in gaming, allowing players to add anything their heart desires, from randomized door portals to semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammals of action.
Phineas and Ferb is an animated show that follows the antics of stepbrothers Phineas and Ferb as they find creative new ways to spend their summer vacation. The show's subplots often revolve around a nefarious villain called Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz facing off against his arch-nemesis, secret agent Perry the Platypus, otherwise known as Agent P. When Perry the Platypus is not saving the world from dastardly evil schemes, his cover is being the Phineas and Ferb's exotic pet, and his so-called owners are blissfully unaware of their four-legged pal's secret identity.
A Minecraft mod created by Reddit user Caviakonjin adds Perry the Platypus to the enduring crafting game, and they shared a video and details about the mod on r/Minecraft. The mod adds a number of semi-aquatic egg laying mammals to the game, or platypuses as they are more commonly known. The platypus model is based on Perry the Platypus, with some of the platypuses donning his iconic hat after interacting with another platypus in-game through the breeding mechanic. These small mammals are even able to swim, with the modder making a special swimming animation for the platypus. They are actually quite fast swimmers, which is in line with their real-world and cartoon inspirations.
While the platypuses can’t stand on their hind legs in-game, scrounge for food, or thwart evildoers, they are incredibly cute and add a nice splash of color to the game. Caviakonjin has supplied the link to download the new Minecraft mob mod for anyone to use, only requiring a current version of OptiFine to work. Based on the comments in the Reddit thread, Perry the Platypus is already a hit with Minecraft players.
Maybe the modder will be able to add in some of the other lettered agents from the show, or even Dr Doofenshmirtz as an enemy mob texture pack skin, although which mob would best suit the evil genius is anyone’s guess. More crossover mods such as these are always nice to see, especially if they are ambiguous enough that copyright doesn’t force the mod to be shut down, such as the well-known Pokémon mod Pixelmon.
Minecraft is available on all platforms.
