BioCraft: Alien — 1.0.0

Formerly known during experimental development as Weyland-Yutani Core (AlienCraft).

Bring the complete Xenomorph lifecycle into Minecraft with immersive, data-driven sci-fi survival.

Discover mysterious Ovomorphs, evade relentless Facehuggers, survive implantation, and witness Chestbursters emerge before growing into deadly Xenomorphs. Drones defend the hive, Queens expand it, and the lifecycle continues naturally—even across world saves and reloads.

• Complete lifecycle: Ovomorph → Facehugger → Host → Chestburster → Drone → Queen
• Facehugger attachment, implantation, and spent lifecycle behavior
• Queen egg-laying and Ovomorph hatching
• Combat-capable Drones and Queen
• Data-driven AI and gameplay tuning through JSON configuration
• Stable 1.0.0 architecture designed for future expansion

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge

Release Notes

This first stable release focuses on delivering the complete Alien lifecycle as a solid gameplay foundation.

• Natural world spawning is disabled by design. Use Creative Mode, commands, or custom laboratory setups to introduce specimens.
• Some models, textures, sounds, and visual polish are still works in progress and will continue to improve in future updates.
• The next major development stage expands the laboratory experience with containment systems, research equipment, specimen observation, motion tracking, additional host species, DNA variation, and new Xenomorph forms.

BioCraft: Alien is built on a modern, modular architecture that emphasizes maintainability, data-driven design, and emergent gameplay, providing a strong foundation for years of future content.

Building better worlds. One specimen at a time.
