Invasion-Mod (Fork)

by davida1a2a3

Invasion-Mod (Fork) sends waves of hostile mobs against a Nexus block that players must defend, with engineering options for holding them back.

What it does

Invasions run in waves against the Nexus. A player starts one anywhere with a Nexus Catalyst, and each wave is stronger than the one before. The invaders are equipped with the same kinds of advantages available to the player, and several of the invading mobs break blocks as they advance, so walls and ladders need to be planned. Mobs in the wave differ in strengths and weaknesses, which affects how a defense should be built. Players can add bridges and ladders to cross or overcome defenses.

This fork was updated for Minecraft 26.2 and adds new bosses, including the Wither Warden. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Required dependencies are Fabric API and Mod Menu. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across four game versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, and the source is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes the mod open source. Lineage notes in the author text trace the project back through several earlier ports.

Key features

  1. Nexus waves

    Mob invasions attack a Nexus, and the defender must hold it through each wave.

  2. Catalyst invasions

    A Nexus Catalyst starts an invasion at any location chosen by the player.

  3. Varied invaders

    Mobs in each wave have different strengths and weaknesses, so defenses have to account for more than one threat.

  4. Block-breaking mobs

    Many invading mobs destroy blocks, which turns walls and barriers into a repair task during a fight.

  5. New bosses

    The fork adds bosses, among them the Wither Warden, to the invasion roster.
