Biomorphosis

Players harvest biomass and use it to develop a colony, prepare it for dangers and run experiments. Hive Villages are generated in the world, though rare, and an Insect Village sits inside a small unique biome of its own. Nearly a dozen new units each have their own natural habitat, and the mod introduces a new location type alongside them.

Biomorphosis brings new blocks, items, resources and machines, and a fluid-transfer network that feeds and reinforces a player's base. Interactive ways to communicate with and influence the Swarm are included, as are a smart-home-style automation hideout and character modifications that replace standard armor with unique enhancements. Players first craft a Lure Campfire from Flesh Blocks, ignite it with Flint Steel, and face the Queen in battle.

Biomorphosis is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge on 1.21.1 and 1.21.4. It requires PulseLib and TerraBlender, and Jade and Just Enough Items (JEI) are optional. The mod is released under a custom license and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
