Zynd's Infection Mod: The Spread
by Zynd
Zynd's Infection Mod: The Spread adds Spread, a macrovirus that grows through the world as creeping blocks, bloom tumors and pillars that reach into the sky.
What it does
Spread is the titular macrovirus of the mod. Its blocks creep out from where they start and bloom into tumors that take over terrain, and without control they can cover large areas quickly. Zombies can change into hulking, multi-eyed beasts, and the infection keeps devouring whatever it reaches.
The mod was built in MCreator and is the author's first project made that way. Custom code was limited to code blocks, and the author describes it as a way to add more challenge to the game. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.4 and 1.21.5, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.5 as the latest file, dated 2025-03-31.
The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The author has said that further updates are not planned in the near term, since other projects come first, and that the mod is not where updates are expected to happen soon.

What the author says
The Spread is a mod focused on the titular macrovirus, The Spread. This mod was made in MCreator as my first ever project in mod-making, and was designed to add more challenge to Minecraft. Any block of Spread, be it the creep, bloom, or tumors, can infect your Minecraft world and grow out of control quickly…
