Spore & Stem 2.0.0: First Bloom

Supported platforms: Minecraft 1.21.1 (Fabric, NeoForge) and Minecraft 1.20.1 (Fabric, Forge) · Fabric API on Fabric

The first release of Spore & Stem, a ground-up rewrite of the project formerly published as Genetically Modified Monsters (1.x). The version jumps to 2.0 because nothing from the old mod is kept: it has a new mod id, so start a new world or expect the old creepers and spawn eggs to disappear. The same content ships on both Minecraft versions.

Fungi

• Three giants: the bioluminescent Glowcap (glowing gill curtains), the springy Bouncecap (bouncy caps, no fall damage) and the dripping Inkcap. Bone meal grows them from their small mushrooms.
• Three fungal woods: stems, stripped stems, hyphae, planks, stairs, slabs, fences, gates, doors, trapdoors, buttons and pressure plates for each, fireproof but good fuel.
• Nine small mushrooms in real 3D (Glowcap, Bouncecap, Inkcap, Morel, Chanterelle, Deathcap, Frostcap, Emberstool, Puffball), all pottable, most edible, each with its own effect.
• Fungal blocks: Glowcap Gills, Shelf Fungus, Mycelial Veils with glowing bulbs, Giant Puffballs, Truffle Soil, Mycelial Soil, the Glowcap Lantern and the Cultivation Log.

World

• The fungi grow into vanilla biomes: the Mushroom Fields fill with all three giants, Glowcaps light cave floors, shelf fungus climbs old trunks, veils hang from cave ceilings, fairy rings dot the plains.
• Every feature and spawn is placed through biome tags, the same on every loader.

Farming and food

• Cultivation Logs inoculated with any of seven fungi fruit through four stages; Mycelial Soil grows mushrooms in any light; the Foraging Knife improves the harvest.
• Ten foods and drinks, from Roasted Morels to Truffle Stew, the Forager's Stew and the Antifungal Tonic.

Mycosis

• A slow fungal infection from Shamblers, Deathcaps and spore clouds. It never takes you below one heart, but the infected dead rise as Shamblers. Milk, Forager's Stew and the Antifungal Tonic cure it; Spore Ward prevents it.
• New effects: Mycosis, Spore Ward, Rooted.

Creatures

• Sporeling (four caps, tameable), Truffler (digs truffles), Glowmoth, Bloatshroom, Shambler, Sporemaw and Mimicap, each with its own animated model and sounds.
• The Myceliarch: a two-phase boss summoned with a Fruiting Heart. Slam, Root Eruption, Spore Nova, Brood Call, and Spore Rain in its second bloom. Drops the Spore Heart.

Gear

• Mycoleather armor (a full set gives Spore Ward), Spore Bombs, the Bloomreaver (hits infect; Spore Burst) and the Crown of the Bloom (Night Vision, Spore Ward).

Everything else

• 15 advancements, 55 sound events with subtitles, spawn eggs and a creative tab.
• config/spore_and_stem.json for Mycosis, the Myceliarch, Sporelings and Trufflers.
• Convention tags (c:mushrooms, c:leathers, c:slime_balls, ... on 1.21.1; the matching c: and forge: tags on 1.20.1) and compostables on every loader.
