Dimension Parasite
by chengQq20
Dimension Parasite is a Forge world-generation mod in which an alien parasite invades a series of dimensions that players must explore in order.
What it does
Players start in the Overworld and progress through a chain of dimensions, each one more hostile and stranger than the last. Progress is gated: a player enters the first dimension only after a parasite is used in the Overworld, and later entries require items such as infected food, collected blood, or a crafted Invitation. Each stage is meant to feel more abstract and more threatening, and the story ends with a confrontation against a supreme entity at Stage 6.
Contact with large infected creatures can cause infection and injury, and infected food is only safe to consume in the dimensions it belongs to. Purification Blocks convert infected blocks in an infected dimension. The mod is for players who want a long, hard adventure on a Forge 1.20.1 world. Dimension Parasite is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are released under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Dimension progression
Each dimension is entered through a specific action, such as killing semi-infected zombies, combining infected foods or crafting an Invitation.
Infection mechanics
Contact with large infected creatures can infect the player and cause injury, and infected food only works in its own dimensions.
Purification tools
Purification Blocks turn infected blocks back to normal, and a Purification Crafting Table upgrades the Blade of Purification.
Damage reduction
Infected creatures take less damage from stronger weapons, so a higher weapon damage reduces the damage the player takes in return.
Dimensional rifts
Rifts found while searching lead into the Outer Dimension, where the hidden identity of the parasite is uncovered at the end of Chapter 2.
