About this project

What does From Another World add?

Important note: This mod is not currently being developed as I have been losing interest in modding Minecraft. It's not abandoned and I would like to do more with it in the future (at least one update to make it feel like a more complete and refined experience) but for now there won't be any updates for a while. I hope you understand :)

Adds everyone's favourite alien shapeshifter to Minecraft 1.20.1!
Requires AzureLib and FromAnotherLibrary (and Fabric API if you're using the fabric version)

This mod has a unique take on the concept of invasion and infection mods:

-The mobs have a consistent presence - they cannot spawn or despawn randomly. They spread through your world like a real organism with a consistent method of reproduction and never "cheat."

-Survival is the focus - everything is balanced and tested for survival mode with no other mods installed. If something is unfair/unfun, this is not intended, please report it.

Tips:

-USE FIRE. Flint and Steel can set mobs from this mod on fire just by right clicking them.

-The Alien Thing may seem impossible to kill at first but it is beatable. You just need to be a bit smarter to make sure it can't survive.

Questions:

Q: Can I use this mod in a video or modpack?

A: Yes! If you're making a video, please link this page.

Q: Will you backport this mod?

A: No, I only want to support the latest version but anyone is welcome to backport it themselves (and if you do I apologise for the state of my code, I never took any actual lessons to learn Java, it's a miracle I managed to make a functional mod).
