Starvasion
by Miraak0
Starvasion turns the world into an infection-style survival challenge, with petrified space starfish spreading across the map on Forge for 1.20.1.
What it does
The run begins by searching for suspicious gravel, which holds a petrified starfish structure called a meteorite. Opening one is how a world first meets the alien creatures. From there, the starfish multiply and the threat keeps growing, so a player has to plan how to contain it while surviving.
The starfish evolve into two forms, and the mod gives players a way to deal with them through potions: regeneration potions bring a petrified starfish back to life, and weakness potions petrify one again. The result is a push and pull between the alien invasion and the player's supplies. Starvasion is a Forge mod, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover only 1.20.1, with 1.2.0 as the latest file, published 2024-10-17. It is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
