Bio Forge

Bio Forge is built around investigating disease rather than reading a GUI. Players examine patients with medical tools, listen to the heart and lungs, observe symptoms and collect blood and other biological samples. Samples go into laboratory equipment, cultures are grown and processed under microscopes, and pathogens are identified and studied. Diseases, their symptoms, mutations and transmission methods are all part of the same system, and what is discovered on one day behaves the same way the next.

Players create and manipulate pathogens with a modular virus making system. Medical and laboratory systems are linked to one another throughout the mod, and the first item a player needs is a Research Tablet, which holds the information required for the rest of the progression. JEI is recommended for following recipes. The mod is open to creators: diseases, medical progression and research systems can all be configured, so custom outbreaks and scenarios can be built around it. Information about making addons for Bio Forge's systems is in the Bio Forge Wiki.

Bio Forge runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge on Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source. The source code, issue tracker and wiki are linked publicly. The latest Forge file is 2.1.1 for 1.20.1, and the latest NeoForge file is 2.1 for 1.21.1.
