Circuit is an intelligent Void Creature and the lowest in their chain of command.
He usually appears underground, with different behaviours depending on certain conditions such as altitude and biome. However, he may also appear on the surface, disguising himself as a creeper, pig, villager, or "the player".
It has been confirmed that a lot of the deaths in Clan Server are associated with Circuit.
One of the things Circuit did was infiltrate xXram2dieXx's clan after he went missing. He disguised as xXram2dieXx and “returned” to the server on 06.09.2019. Circuit justified xXram2dieXx's absence by blaming it on “troubles with his family”.
Another, but more gruesome one, is that Circuit killed Revuxor in real life, having broken out of Revuxor's computer from the screen and invaded his home before ripping him apart.
¶ Appearance
He is a pitch-black, wire-like entity with a rhombus-shaped head. He stands approximately 7 blocks tall. He has an awkward upright standing gait and is frequently observed skittering around on all fours.
¶ Behaviour
All encounters with Circuit's Cave and Mineshaft behaviours, with a single exception of Flee, end the same way. If the player gets within 5 blocks of Circuit, one of the following will happen:
| Percent chance | Outcome |
|---|---|
| 50% |
|
| 20% |
|
| 30% |
|
¶ Chase
Circuit will appear in an upright position and begin to rapidly approach the player.
When he just appears, he will play circuit_jumpscare.ogg, nulljumpscareloud.ogg, and nullchase.ogg at the same time.
In windowed mode, the player's Minecraft game window will shake erratically.
Red text with the phrase There is no way out will jump across the screen.
The Game Menu will be unable to be opened, rendering the player unable to pause the game, change options, or quit the world.
Circuit will break most blocks he runs into, with the exception of some natural blocks such as dirt and stone.
Circuit will replace all water he encounters with cobblestone, effectively bridging over it. The bridge is 5 blocks wide and long, centred on the block underneath him.
All boats within a 20-block-radius of Circuit will be removed.
Every 2.25 seconds each of the following will happen:
- nulljumpscareloud.ogg will play;
will appear for 0.1 seconds;- With a 70% chance, the player's camera will be forced to look at Circuit;
- With a 70% chance, the player's screen will be covered by a black overlay for 0.5 seconds, and the time of day will be set to midnight;
- With a 70% chance, a small black box will appear at the right side of the screen for 0.5 seconds, and the time of day will be set to day;
- With a 70% chance, the time of day will be set to day.
When the player is killed by Circuit, they will be kicked from their world with one of the following two messages:
- No more running.
- No more hiding.
In the extremely unlikely event that Circuit dies, 3 more Circuits in Stalk behaviour will spawn in his place.
He will disappear 20 seconds after spawning.
¶ Cave
Circuit can only spawn if he does not already exist somewhere, if the biome is not Deep Dark, if the sky is not visible where he is to spawn, if the y-level of the place he is trying to spawn at is below 30, and if the player's y-level is below 40. He has a 99% chance of instantly despawning.
Upon spawning he will play either falsecalm2.ogg with a 70% chance, or integritywatching.ogg with a 30% chance.
Circuit will appear standing at his full height.
He will disappear 15 minutes after spawning.
¶ Stalk
Circuit will begin to slowly approach the player.
¶ Stare
Circuit will stand in place, watching the player.
¶ Mineshaft
Circuit can only spawn if he does not already exist somewhere, if the sky is not visible where he is to spawn, if the y-level of the place he is trying to spawn at is above 30, and if the player's y-level is above 40.
Also an additional requirement is the presence of at least one oak planks block in a 3 block radius around his spawn location, where for each block found Circuit has a 10% chance to spawn.
Circuit will appear standing on all fours.
Upon spawning he will play an eerie noise.
He will disappear 8 minutes and 20 seconds after spawning.
¶ Stare
Circuit will stand in place, watching the player.
¶ Walk
Circuit will begin to rapidly approach the player.
Looking at Circuit will scare him away, prompting him to Flee.
¶ Flee
Circuit will skitter away from the player and after 15 seconds will switch back to his Walk behaviour.
¶ Disguised
Circuit has the ability to shapeshift into various forms, mostly mobs and player-like forms.
¶ Deceiver
During the night, a chat message can appear stating that the player has just joined the game.
This fake "player" also known as the Deceiver will appear somewhere nearby, wearing the same armour as the real player and holding either an Iron Axe (30%) or Iron Pickaxe (70%). His skin is pitch-black, reminiscent of Null.
The Deceiver will run after the player. If he gets within 5 blocks radius of the player, he will disappear, after which one of the following will happen:
- With a 70% chance, Circuit will switch the player's gamemode to survival and appear in his Chase behaviour after 3 seconds.
- With a 30% chance, nothing happens.
The Deceiver disappears during daytime.
¶ Creeper Circuit
Circuit, looking like a creeper with a distinct darkened texture, will appear and begin to roam around.
He will disappear upon taking damage.
If at any point there is any creature within 20 blocks of Creeper Circuit, Circuit will reveal himself and begin to Chase the player.
He can only appear at night in this behaviour, disappearing during the day.
¶ False Villager
Circuit, looking like a villager with TESTIFICATE name, will appear and begin to roam around. Once he spots the player, he will follow them, keeping a distance of 20 blocks.
He can be identified by his modern Minecraft-style clothing, the lack of villager sounds, its nametag being always visible, and player specific hurt sounds.
Circuit will reveal himself and begin to Chase the player:
- Guaranteed upon False Villager's death by any means.
- With a 0.01% chance every tick when within 20 blocks of the player.
False Villager will despawn:
- 15 minutes after spawning.
- With a 0.01% chance every tick during the day.
Not all TESTIFICATE villagers are Circuit.
¶ Pig Circuit
Circuit will appear in a pig disguise, visually indistinguishable from normal pigs. Once he spots the player, he will follow them, keeping a distance of 20 blocks.
When damaged, he will play a player damage sound and begin chasing the player in pig form, dealing 3 damage.
Circuit will reveal himself and begin to Chase the player:
- Guaranteed upon Pig Circuit's death by any means.
- With a 0.01% chance every tick when within 20 blocks of the player.
Pig Circuit will despawn:
- 15 minutes after spawning.
- With a 0.01% chance every tick during the day.
¶ Notes
- Loud.
- If the player types "The broken end" (or TheBrokenEnd) in chat, Circuit will say "Administration".
- Circuit was supposed to have a minigame where, when a player was caught, as one of the outcomes he would give them 60 seconds to get to the surface, instead of instantly switching to his Chase behaviour.
- The speech audio files circuitminigamespeechandcounting.ogg and circuitspeechbadending.ogg are now used for Integrity as integrityspeechandcounting.ogg and integrityendgamespeech.ogg.
- From 1.9.3 onwards, if the player tries to enable devmode and enters the code 2018, 1000 Circuits with Chase behaviour will instantly spawn on the player's location with the intent of lagging the player's game; devmode otherwise works as expected.
- If you delete circuit_dance.gif file in the mod file, the game will not work properly and crash. The crash title reads "They're so joyous..." and the exception is "Get it, circy! Crash their game!"
- If Circuit is disguised as a mob, it will appear with that mob's custom icon while holding Tab with Xaero's Map and/or Xaero's Minimap. This allows for safely checking if a Pig, Villager or Creeper is false, as you can monitor its movement (they are significantly faster than their real counterpart) to judge them without Circuit being in danger range or visible at all.
- If one is using the Creepers Overhaul mod, a false Creeper is easily distinguishable as default Creepers lack an icon.
- Keeping Villagers safely stored in your base is a good way to keep track of true Villagers, as any other Villager outside where they're kept is most likely a Circuit.
