Mycelial Crisis
Mycelial Crisis is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that turns the mushroom island into a dangerous mycelium dimension with its own mobs, bosses and underground lair.
What it does
The story takes place in a normal Minecraft save where mycelium has mutated and intends to take over the world. Players must travel deep into a lair in the Mycelium Dimension and defeat the leader, the Crimson Mycelium King, to stop the spread. The mod expands the original Mushroom Island, which the author describes as hollow and inhabited by only a lone island herd, into a much larger and more deadly area with monsters waiting underground.
The mod requires Curios API and Geckolib, both of which must be installed alongside it on Forge. It runs on client and server, so a server and every player need the mod. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with 0.1.8.1 as the latest build from 2026-02-08, and the mod is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 without being open source.

How it compares
Some Random Stuff Mod is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 in the Client and server environment, licensed All rights reserved and not open source, so it is a general collection rather than a mycelium story. MineTrek: A Next Generation is also a Forge mod for 1.20.1, Client and server, under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and not open source, and it adds a space-themed setting. Mushrooms Realm is a Forge mod in the Client and server environment, open source under the MIT License and covering 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, so it has a wider version range than this mod.

I found out that the contents of Minecraft Mushroom Island were hollow, with only a lone island and a herd of unknown red bulls, so I decided to make this mod. The story of the mod takes place in a Minecraft save like usual, but here the mycelium has mutated with the intention of taking over the world. You must go…
