Xenomorph Types

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.20–1.21. File opened and checked on 28 Sep 2026; downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

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 1.21.6 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.20.1 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21.6 · NeoForge
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.

Ever wanted to start a xenomorph hive in your minecraft world? no? well I did it anyways

How does it start?
- Every hive starts from a single egg, these eggs can be found unground inside small caverns and surrounded by water. An example of one looks like this:
Xenomorph Types — Minecraft Java mod, screenshot 1

Eggs found under ground will be dormant, and will not hatch unless hit. when the egg hatches, it will spawn a facehugger which will attach itself to the nearest host (tip: make sure thats not you) and after a 2 - 3 minutes a chestbuster will violently errupt from the host. after a little bit of time, the chestburster will mold into a younger form of its drone stage

during this phase it will go after small animals (chickens, cats, rabbits, etc) but will still avoid humans or other hostile mobs. After a bit more time, it will grow into a xenomorph drone. drones are the adult form of a xenomorph. Past this phase they can continue to evolve into a warrior but only by killing, it will continue to evolve (past warrior and praetorian stages) until it reaches its queen/matriarch form. apon evolving into a queen, it will kill a few more targets before digging underground and building a nest. it will begin to lay eggs where the process starts all over again!

when a nest gains worker drones, it will start turning into a hive. The drones will spread "hive resin", which spreads to nearby blocks (cannot spread on a plastic block). Hive's are massive nests filled with lots of xenomorphs, they can look like this:

lastly, there are seven variants of xenomorph that come from different hosts, eaching having their own forms (warrior, praetorian, and queen):
normal, runner, spitter, swimmer, scout, myceilomorph (sub-variant), shifter

New weapons and drops!

Taming a xenomorph

In order to tame a xenomorph, you will need "royal jelly" (dropped by queens) and will need to meet the following conditions:
-The targetted xenomorph must be a freshly hatched chestburster, adult or even juvenile xenomorphs cannot be tamed!
-The xenomorph you want to tame must be of the following sub-types; Generic (best for defence), runner (can be ridden), scout (can slowly fly while being ridden) this is because these three types come from domesticated hosts which allow you to tame them (eg; a wolf birthing a runner or a parrot birthing a scout)
-Once a xenomorph is tamed, you will need to feed it more royal jelly to evolve it (tamed xenomorphs cannot evolve past drone stage). You can also feed it rotten flesh to heal it when injured
-Tamed xenomorphs will not attack other xenomorphs under any circumstance! There are down sides to owning a xenomorph; They are a hive mind and will not turn on their own species even if the owner is in danger, they will attack pretty much anything else that moves (so make sure to use a lead). Remember it is not a pet, it just tolerates you.
