FleshCatcher [UNDER RENOVATION]
by AmberApathy
FleshCatcher is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that tries to make the concept of a literal flesh purgatory feel like part of vanilla play.
What it does
The mod builds a flesh-themed purgatory dimension with its own blocks, a mob called Gertrude and a block referred to as LeaveBlock, which the author describes as the way out for players who get trapped. The author notes that cheats are needed to test the escape, and that an Access Ritual can be built to reach the dimension.
Its content grew out of a horror-leaning project that began as a Black Lung Mod before it received its current name. The author says the mod was updated steadily over time and that the project is still under renovation, so later builds may differ from the ones described here. The author also mentions that a Black Lung Filtration block and a set of fleshy paintings are included.
Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with 1.17.0 as the latest build from 2025-12-31. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
Perdition is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that runs on client and server and is released under All rights reserved, so it shares FleshCatcher's loader, version and environment. The Other Place is also a Forge 1.20.1 client and server mod, but it is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license. The Purgatory is available for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 and is released under the MIT License, so it covers more loaders and versions.

What the author says
do /untrap to easily leave the Organism with cheats enabled or check the screenshots for how to build the Access Ritual to enter. Installing JEI is very much suggested if using versions before 1.11.0. Yeah, long story short: this is a remake of that shoddy work of garbage!
