Nexus Infection
by mrsculk222
Nexus Infection is a Forge and NeoForge mod that turns the Overworld into a hostile world, with infected structures, biomes and a spreading Nexus infection that begins once a player sleeps in a bed.
What it does
Players who sleep in a bed after logging in are visited at night by otherworldly creatures, and the infection starts spreading from there. Strong hostile mobs carry the infection to other mobs, and an Infector mob can spawn Nexus Tumors. A tumor corrupts the ground beneath it, turning it into Dead Nexus, and surface growths appear around it. Mind Saplings grow into large Mind Trees over about two minutes, and Wrecked Infectors spawn from them.
The infection can also overtake animals, which turn hostile and undead, and red fog appears near the infected area. Haremares appear alone on the Overworld surface at night and hunt Zombies, turning them into Wounded mobs. Each Haremare can drop Acid Spines, the material for the mod's tools. The mod requires Geckolib, and the license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1.
Key features
Infected structures and biomes
Infested structures and biomes appear across the Overworld, where players find items filled with Nexus energy.
Spreading Nexus Tumors
Tumors convert nearby terrain into Dead Nexus and grow Nexus Hives underground once they finish corrupting their surroundings.
Acid Spine tools
Acid Spines from Haremares are used to craft a Visceral Cleaner, which slowly removes Dead Nexus blocks when activated with redstone.
Nexus Alarm
A block crafted from Acid Spines detects nearby infected mobs and alerts the player, and it can also be triggered manually with redstone.

What the author says
When logging into your world everything seems fine at first, but as soon as you place a bed, otherworldly creatures may visit you during the night. These Visitors are strong hostile mobs who can spread the Nexus and can also spawn other mobs related to the infection. One of these is the Infector, a mob capable of…
