Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.19.2 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.16.4–1.16.5 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.19.2 · Fabric
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

The Martians are here!

Experience a full-on Martian invasion in Minecraft. Spawn in your world and prepare for an assault from land, sky and water, from an overpowering alien force! Team up with your friends and enemies to defeat the Martians invading your world. Discover new and awesome items with the research system. Craft and build different weapons from different eras of Human and Martian history.

 

This mod is not for the faint of heart. If you're new, we recommend easy mode. Your base will suffer, you will suffer, and most importantly your favourite Minecraft pets will suffer.

Research!

Research all your favourite blocks and items in Minecraft and new additions brought on by the Martian invasion! Use that research to get some new cool weapons and gear to fight back the invaders, using the brand new Diary item and tech levels within it.

Survive!
The War of The Worlds Mod is a survival-first mod it is intended to be played in that mode so that you will be very scared of the Martians blowing you up constantly all the time. You are not allowed to feel safe. Ever.

Better living underground!
Ever wanted a reliable way to live underground? Well now there is! This mod adds many new blocks to find underground including new ways to collect wood, food and other normally surface exclusive features!. Trust us you're going to want to live underground for a while.

Invaders must die!

This mod is hard, tough as nails, and ruthless. But it's not unbeatable. Use your survival skills to craft powerful weapons and armour that can take down the Martians and save the world of Minecraft! Unless you're chicken, in which case we have a configuration settings screen to lessen that difficulty.

 

Race against the biological clock!
Growing deep under your world is the Martian Red Weed. It spreads and infects blocks around it causing them to become hazardous to you. It's important you contain the spread and keep your Minecraft world safe from becoming another red planet!
