Helldivers 2’s Malevelon Creek Battle Recreated in Minecraft
This week marked the anniversary of the infamous Malevelon Creek conflict in Helldivers 2, a pivotal moment where players valiantly defended the jungle planet against a formidable automaton invasion. As a fresh robot assault to seize the Creek unfolds within the game, one creative Helldivers 2 devotee has paid tribute to this iconic battle by meticulously rebuilding Malevelon Creek in Minecraft.
YouTuber Red Monster Thing’s Impressive Minecraft Creation
The dedicated player, known as Red Monster Thing on YouTube, unveiled his custom-made Malevelon Creek map in a recent video, shared via Reddit. The Minecraft rendition is remarkably detailed, featuring accurate depictions of automaton factories, complete with structures like laser turrets, signal jammers, and ominous detector towers reminiscent of the Eye of Sauron.
Detailed Recreations of Helldivers 2 Elements
The impressive Minecraft creation extends beyond ground structures. Automaton dropships are suspended mid-air, simulating troop deployments, while Helldivers 2’s imposing super destroyers loom in planetary orbit. The creator didn’t stop there; an intricately designed interior of a super destroyer is also included, showcasing a parked Pelican 1 transport shuttle.

Atmospheric Fidelity and Map Completion
Beyond the intricate automaton architecture, the map excels in capturing the distinctive ambiance of Malevelon Creek. The recreated purple foliage, the constant dusk, and the dense jungle atmosphere, all contribute to the ‘Robot Vietnam’ feel, mirroring the source material faithfully. The helldiver skin displayed in the video, created separately by Minecraft artist Dr_Martex, complements the scene, but is not part of Red Monster Thing’s map.
Map Release and Subscriber Goal
Red Monster Thing indicates that this Minecraft Malevelon Creek project has been underway for some time and is now finalized. The showcased video serves as a “final preview” before a forthcoming video detailing the map’s creation process. Furthermore, the YouTuber plans to release the map for free download once his channel reaches 1,000 subscribers. Currently, with just under 350 subscribers, there’s still a journey to reach this milestone before the map becomes publicly available.
