🍄 Spores & Shadows

Have you ever built a majestic wooden cabin thinking it would stand untouched forever?

Spores & Shadows transforms wood into a living, vulnerable material that decays dynamically based on its environment. Featuring nearly 1,000 survival-ready block variants, no wooden build is safe from time and the elements.

📦 Requires: Fabric API, Polymer, Cloth Config
💡 Recommended Addons: ModMenu, Jade / WTHIT, Iris / Sodium

🧱 Gameplay Features

• 🌿 Dynamic Wood Rot: Wood naturally ages through 4 stages: Vanilla ➔ Tainted ➔ Moldy ➔ Rotten. Moisture, darkness, rain, and swampy terrain speed up decay, while sunlight, freezing cold, and the scorching Nether keep it clean.
• 🪓 Active Maintenance (Shift + Right Click): Keep your builds safe! Scrape off mold layers with an Axe or preserve your wooden blocks permanently using a Honeycomb to freeze decay and stop the contagion.
• ☠️ Hazardous Spore Clouds: Neglected, heavily rotten structures release toxic miasma clouds that inflict Poison and Nausea on unprepared explorers.
• ⚠️ Real Survival Penalties: Rotten wood crumbles to dust when broken, yields worse crafting recipes, and causes wooden buttons & pressure plates to jam stuck (though it makes for high-potency composter fuel).
• 🏚️ Weathered World Generation: Naturally generated structures like Abandoned Mineshafts, Shipwrecks, Swamp Huts, Zombie Villages, and Trail Ruins now spawn realistically decayed and overgrown.
• 👁️ Seamless HUD & Shader Support: Check decay levels and infection risks in real time with built-in Jade / WTHIT tooltips, and enjoy flicker-free visuals even with modern shaders enabled.

⚙️ Configuration & Modpacks

• 🛠️ Fully Customizable: Tweak infection speeds, environmental multipliers, decay thresholds, and miasma range directly in-game via Cloth Config.
• 📦 Modpack Policy: You are completely free to include Spores & Shadows in any public or private modpack!
