The Crimson World

After a catastrophic meteor shower, the landscape is replaced by craters, scorched earth and skies full of ash and smoke. Most natural resources are gone, so wood, food and water become scarce, and players must adapt to survive. Trees are reduced to charred stumps, while dried-up rivers and rare wildlife push players to scavenge ruins, villages and dangerous underground caves for supplies.

The mod also changes farming, since the polluted soil makes crops harder to grow and calls for new approaches. Hostile alien mobs appear from meteorite fragments, and the impact has altered the creatures that were already present in the world. Zombies, skeletons and creepers gain enhanced abilities and are more aggressive, especially at night.

The Crimson World requires Forge and is installed on both the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. Advancement Plaques is an optional dependency. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source. Its only published file targets 1.20.1 and was released on 2024-12-23, with a public source code repository and wiki.
