What it does

Arachnids adds mobs inspired by the alien race of the 2005 Starship Troopers film and its game adaptation. The creatures roam the Overworld, and the bugs take over deserts, changing how those biomes feel in a survival world. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

The mod needs AzureLib, Fabric API on Fabric, Forgified Fabric API on Forge, Sinytra Connector and SmartBrainLib. Mod Menu and Roughly Enough Items (REI) are optional. Arachnids is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.19.1 – 1.21.1.

Key features

  1. Alien bug mobs

    Creatures based on the alien race from the Starship Troopers film and game appear in the Overworld.

  2. Bug-controlled deserts

    Desert areas are taken over by the bugs, so exploring them means dealing with the creatures directly.

  3. Brain-driven behavior

    The creatures use SmartBrainLib to decide how they act, which shapes their movement and attacks.
