Story of Mineyarg
by AinsStudio
Story of Mineyarg is a Forge world generation mod in which a zombie apocalypse unfolds in real time, with a snowfall that keeps spreading across the world.
What it does
The mod adds a storyline built around a zombie apocalypse system that follows the actual clock, so in-game progress tracks real hours. Hostile mobs evolve over time and become stronger and smarter, while an expanding snowfall zone slowly takes over the world. The apocalypse can also be run in a fast mode for quick testing and demonstration.
Events depend on the real-time progression system, so a world's difficulty rises as the days pass. Server owners can tune how quickly mobs spawn and evolve, how fast the snow spreads, and how many days pass before each phase strengthens that evolution, and can also pick the coordinates where the snow begins. Progress tracking can be switched on or off. Story of Mineyarg requires Kotlin for Forge and works with Tough As Nails as an optional addition. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for Forge 1.20.1 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and is open source.
Key features
Real-time zombie apocalypse
The apocalypse advances with real time rather than only in-game time, so an hour of play has a set pace.
Evolving hostile mobs
Mobs grow stronger and smarter as the apocalypse continues, pushing survival skills to their limit.
Expanding snowfall zone
Cold spreads across the world over time, and its origin point can be placed at custom coordinates.
Configurable evolution
Spawn rates, evolution speed, snow growth and the days before each phase boost can all be adjusted.
Fast test mode
A fast mode speeds up the events so the apocalypse can be previewed and tested quickly.
