Description

Minecraft's coastlines will never be safe again.

Cannibal Villages transforms beaches, islands, and coastal regions into a living, dangerous ecosystem. Explore procedurally generated Cannibal Villages, watch aggressive tribes and powerful Shamans defend their territory, beware of the alluring siren song, navigate hidden patches of quicksand, and dive into oceans filled with Great White Sharks, stingrays, abyssal sea serpents, and rich tropical marine life.


TRAILER:

Teaser 2.4.1 UPDATE:


As you explore the shores and deep ocean trenches, discover unique resources, gear up with diving equipment, witness dark tribal rituals, and brace yourself to challenge legendary oceanic bosses: Ozgum and Rutia, the Cannibal God.

Survival means making difficult choices. The progression-based Cannibalism system lets you consume Human Flesh to transform from a simple survivor into a feared Tribe Leader, while seeking a cure requires gathering rare herbs to regain your humanity.
