by phagens
Corpse Origin, a Cursed mod by phagens, adds an infection system in which creatures mutate through several stages after exposure to Corpse Water.
What it does
Corpse Origin is an unofficial fan-made mod inspired by the web comic Shen Xiong Zombie Brother. Its core is a framework of infection, mutation and evolution: corrupted water spreads the infection through Carrier, Onset and Lesion stages, and creatures change as they go. Mutations are tied to attributes, actions and kill counts, and a special coffin converts ordinary water into Corpse Water. Corpse Brothers evolve by killing, cannibalizing and choosing between Qi Cultivation and Body Forging.
The mod includes a long multi-stage boss fight with minion management inside a Corpse Domain infection field, 42 characters such as Bai Xiaofei, Hei Xiaofei and Long Xiao, and 103 skills. An organ system with organ packs, a gourd system and a paginated skill ring is built on those characters. Some character moves and systems still work, including Gui Gun and the Black and White Generals. Servers can adjust consumption through a config file and commands.
Corpse Origin is for Fabric and NeoForge, released under the MIT License and not open source. Geckolib is required. Both sides need the mod, since the client and server environment is shared. Files are published for 1.21.1 and 26.2, with the latest Fabric build 1.0.6-26.2 for 26.2 and the latest NeoForge build for 1.21.1 on the beta channel.
