Cystic Aware

by TheAxolotlLord

Cystic Aware adds a genetic disease to Minecraft, with lungs that can be damaged, lung transplants and inhalers that players can use to manage their breathing.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.21.8

What it does

Cystic Aware models cystic fibrosis in the game. Players can be affected at random by slowness, hunger and nausea, and damaged lungs reduce breathing until they are treated. Lung transplants restore breathing, and inhalers give a quicker, temporary way to manage symptoms.

A new villager type and a new structure, the Nether Gazebo, add ways to meet the disease in a world. A gamerule decides whether cystic fibrosis is active, so a server owner can turn the condition off without removing the mod. The mod is built for NeoForge and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it.

The current NeoForge build is 1.1.0 for 1.21.8, published on 2026-02-15. The code is released under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Cystic fibrosis condition

    Players can be affected by the condition, which brings random slowness, hunger and nausea episodes.

  2. Damaged lungs

    Lung damage lowers breathing, and the effect stays until the player receives treatment.

  3. Lung transplants

    A transplant restores breathing for players who have the condition, as a longer-term treatment.

  4. Inhalers and gamerule

    Inhalers give a temporary breathing boost, and a gamerule lets server owners decide whether the condition applies.
