⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
Small Intro
This is the first mod I've made, shoddily thrown together in MCreator. I made this to fill that fungus-shaped hole in my heart, and my apocalypse-themed server.
This Mod Contains
- 3 types of mushrooms that produce spores at random intervals.
- Contaminated air blocks in caves.
- A simple weapon obtained from one of the fungus types
- Bugs (I don't know how to fix them)
Meet The Mushrooms

Basic Spore Plume
Found close to the surface or sometimes on the surface. Grows on basic stones.
Randomly plumes normal spores. Spawns in areas with low light levels.

Deep Spore Plume
Found in deepslate caves. Does not grow on basic stones.
Randomly plumes more dangerous spores. Spawns in areas with low light levels.

Spore Mine
Found in deepslate caves. Does not grow on basic stones.
Does what you think it does. Spawns in areas with low light levels.

Spore Air
found in all caves
hopefully not on the surface anymore
Deals crazy damage and poison when an entity walks into it. Can be destroyed with water.

Spore Pod
A throwable obtained from destroying the Basic Spore Plume.
Can be thrown to release spores or used in melee if you're a masochist.
I made this mod just to add some environmental danger while exploring. It's compatible with lost cities as the mushrooms should generate in the buildings. Hopefully this helps scratch that TLOU itch.
Thanks
