this mod is legit the definition of "this couldn't possibly get any worse right?"

Fun fact, the late game parasites can kill you with resistance 5 which is 100% damage reduction

Fun, yet unbalanced, which can be fun for some, although it's best to include other mods to better your odds of survival.

This was super super helpful, trying to find a full documentation of this mod was tedious, they’re either outdated, split into like ten videos, or have a bunch of “play for yourself to find out!” in it. Now one finally exists from none other than one of my favorite showcase creators. Thank you so much, your work is very appreciated 🧡 (Now go rest, you’ve earned it)

Fire should be universally effective against these things, should clean the biomes, and be unadaptable. That still wouldn't give the player any hope of survival, it would just be reasonable.

this is practically a The Thing mode and I love it so much. you can see the massive insipration they took from it

This mod is a total pain in the ass in a "impending doom is coming and you can only slow it" kind of way. Fun in it's own painful way

Awesome showcase! You've made what I consider to be the best documentation about this mod to date! Some things I want to add (for anyone interested in this mod): - This mod is super unbalanced so it's heavily recommended you download additional mods. Diamond armor will NOT cut it. - It may not have been clear, but Dispatchers & Beckons aren't supposed to exist before Phase 3, so if the world phase is brought down, they will slowly die. - Lures reduce points, and if enough points are removed, the Phase can be reduced back down a previous level. After the world enters a new Phase, there's a cooldown preventing points from being gained (~1 Minecraft day). - Adapted parasites, Pure parasites (Overseer, Warden, Vigilante, Monarch, Marauder, Grunt, & Heavy Bomber), & Preeminent Parasites are STUPID strong and will most likely one-shot you without super high level gear (we're talking fully enchanted modded armor). - Shaders in the video conflicted with the Adaptation portion - when parasites are adapting to damage, they flash green, and once they're fully adapted/immune to a form of damage, they flash pink and make a hissing sound. This wasn't visible in the video. - This mod is ONLY on 1.12.2! yorkhousemodz is using a Resource Pack that makes the environment look like modern versions of Minecraft. The creator intends to finish the mod first before porting it to other versions.

Great showcase, I just wish this mod was playable past Phase 3. Once that passive point gain activates, just make a new world and save yourself the headache

I like the mod itself, the idea of having you're own world turned against you is really cool. What I take issue with is that anytime the parasites get a weakness added (i.e. Armor that can help, or potions for this instance) they are always half-baked. Like the only way to get it is to cheat which lame tbh.

I got an Addon idea for this mod I think would be fun. Parasitic Armory: Essentially take the Living Armor set and have it have a separate upgrade path than the Sentient Armor. The Living armory doesn't enchant to become stronger but rather Evolves, getting stronger each Phase of Infection you're on, on the later phases your armor starts giving off bad effects such as Coth, Fear, and Awareness to basically signal Parasites around you. However if you manage to kill a certain number of Parasites your Armory becomes "Evolved", allowing you to now take pieces off of Parasites and add them to yourself, graining their Abilities and strengths such as those Orb attacks, degrading or ignoring enemy armor, ect. Then once you have the Evolved & Sentient pieces you can combine them together to make 'Symbiotic Scrap' which can be applied to different Vanilla or Modded armory sets applying your preferred Mutations and Adaptations onto your favorite gear.

finally a well made and up to date showcase of this mod

Yeah, a lot of the mobs in this mod are brokenly powerful. Pretty sure the devs themselves say that it was intended to be played alongside other mods.

I really really hope they plan to make effective counter measures. Unless you want the hopelessness feeling this mod gives, it's not fun

longarms, kyphosis, hosts and herds also have a wave attack but overall it is pretty complete and well made. thank you for showcasing this mod

The last time I watched anything on this mod, was another mod showcaser that hasnt posted in awhile. This mod has expanded so much from its older versions

That's sick (no pun intended)! And also..., KILL IT WITH FIRE!!! 😱

This has to be the most complex mob mod I've seen. Very concise and well made video!

personally i dont like how difficult this mod aims to be, i like being able to build a base in my minecraft worlds but from what ive seen parasites will overrun you real fast if you dont have the proper equipment, which you wont early on

One of the most impossible mods to survive with in 200 days

New fear unlocked: crawling assimilated Enderman.

I'm kind of disappointed that they made parasites have the ability to become immune to fire damage. As in the case of this mod, against all of these impossible odds, fire was your one reliable source of temporary safety. It's fleeting of course, since parasites can fly and avoid laval and whatnot, but having fire damage be your one saving grace was something I did enjoy about this mod.

I love this mod, but I have a recommendation for an armor set: The Sapient Armor. It’s abilities would be greatly amplified when around parasitic structures, and there could be a sapient spear or living gun (of course a simple one, maybe an organic musket or shotgun)

You definitely need to play this with other mods… vanilla equipment ain’t gonna be able to survive past stage 3

Thank you so much for this in depth tutorial! I’m working on a modpack and this helps greatly

It's so fascinating to know that you are actually competing with an ai enemy with it's own goals, objectives, and win conditions. Makes the parasites seem more like actual beings when they have their own set of rules/limitations.

thank you so much! ive been wanting a good showcase for the most recent versions of the mod!

This is an excellent, comprehensive explanation of the mod! Great video!

Yeah, I started to get the feeling the creators were focusing too much on the “What if”’s for what they can do and not enough balancing. This mod seems like one that needs other mods to balance it out if they don’t

The Assimilated Bear is absolutely horrifying

awesome video, veteran of the mod here to point out the few mistakes.. phase -1 allows point gain, just disables natural parasite spawns(if they manage to get INTO that place and kill sum things, they can make it go to phase 0) the nether starts on -1 as well, and does not spawn buglins, only when it reaches phase 0 is when it can start the Link effect goes with Colonies(disabled by default, for now...), any adaptations will be spread to any parasite that can receive adaptation Simmermans(nickname given to assim endermen) can spawn outside phase 2-3, by normal enderman assimilation Sim dragons can only spawn if the dragon herself is infected or naturally when the End reaches phase 2-3 Beckons are ONLY created by reinforcement system, they do not naturally occur the color variants for primitives do things, the green inflict viral on melee and bloody ones inflict stacking bleeding Yelloweyes have a special ability to fire a acid glob, rapidly degrading both health and armor in a split second the Living/Sentient scythe has AoE attacks, dealing damage in wide circles around the player(sentient's AoE is unholy) Overseers can fire a biomass projectile, spawning a biomass entity that always becomes a rupter rest of what you said is correct, like i said... amazing review on the mod!

HELLA YEAH I have been waiting for this!!

This feels like a archive video created by scientists that were researching these things

Haven't visited this mod in a hot minute and it has SERIOUSLY improved.

15:19 doesn't infinite regen remove your invincibility frames, basically making any mob able to wipe you in seconds?

Your mod showcases are excellent! Greatly appreciate the sectioned bits of the video if you were just looking for something specific about the mod. Also really enjoy your voice and accent. Where are you from if you don't mind sharing?

I was hoping you’d make a video on this mod! Thank you!!!

I really want to know how can such horrific life forms exist in the Minecraft world, why are they weak to fire, and how tf can they infect a whole crapping dragon. I can't even imagine the pain these assimilated mobs are going through. I used to think the symptoms of getting assimilated would start with a stomach ache, strange stools, followed by a brain haemorrhage/heart attack and the entity dies for sometime but then is reanimated by the parasites who have now grown their own brains and hearts inside the entity to control them. What baffles me is that they can control rotten corpses as well! Already dead/infected humans, ie., zombies, can get even more infected by these parasites and turn even more eldritch. After watching a few Ender man theory videos, I think that endermites are parasites that have infected Endermen that disfigured their bodies causing them to turn black and lose their intelligence, and also cause them to become hostile towards players when they look directly at them. If they are already controlled by a parasite, how could another parasite take control of their bodies? Perhaps they kill the former parasites and take full control by themselves?

FINALLY YEEEEAHHHHHH, let me get my popcorn here real quick. this will be awesome

Thank you for your hard work

Love the Marauder's funky lil victory dance at 27:13

Honestly, I appreciate that there's a mod that actively encourages players to use overpowered weapon mods. Every enemy is absolutely broken, but that's because it's balanced with the assumption the player has weapons that are broken. All these mods add so many interesting, unique weapons, but the vanilla scaling of difficulty is so small that they rarely get to shine. If you try this mod, play it as anything but a standalone.

Does anyone have a nerfed config for the mod

Thank you for the nine page script and video. You worked hard and it came out great.

Cool showcase

Hats off to you for making a complete showcase over SRP! I shiver at the thought of how long this video took to make.

Ah yes, S&R. The mod that, from what I can tell as an outsider is an unfair, unfun mess made by people who just hate the concept of fun entirely. Seriously though, it is a pity cause the concept is really cool. Shame though that the people making this mod clearly either don't understand or do not care about the concept of balance and fairness for the player. Namely using the enderman mob for example as it loses its water weakness, defeating the point of trying to use that as a means to avoid it. What a mod huh...?

Good vid :D

Man, good work getting through all that.

Thank you for explaining the parasite mod for minecraft to me

Ahojky! Všiml jsem si tvých videí a jsou celkem zajímavá, líbí se mi tento styl a rozhodně tě budu sdílet

Best showcase video, gg

you earned a sub

This was a pretty good showcase

I got chills every second when looking at this mod

love u bro

I'm sure this mod is ment to be unbeatable, end game enemy's can kill you even with 100% resistance. What you have to do is keep the level low but you will never win.

This mod gives you a reason to have overpowered weapon mods installed. Maybe tanks and shit too...

finally, a mod where all of that OP stuff I can work for in other mods is actually useful.

The creator should add aquatic parasites, since players can simply build a base under the sea and not have to worry about anything.

Please do Critters and Cryptids next! Its a really fun fantasy style mod that is avialbe with the new versions of minecraft!

Nice, like this mod.

honestly, i want to see how this mod interacts with the crazycraft modpack. since it appears only vanilla mobs can be affected and damage adapted to, there's a good chance parasites would be helpless faced against the King ect.

A mod best run alongside combat/weapons mods to even the odds, and on a world you dont plan on keeping forever

I like how theres just random added effects that essentially are just a fuck you, like no more fishing or item drop in some cases.

with a good gun mod and a mod that adds npcs capable of using guns pretty sure it would be fun commanding a whole entire military squad to wipe out the parasites or die trying

I would easily give this mod a 10/10 if it was actually balanced, lategame parasites ignore armor resistance which means you're fucked regardless of the type of armor you have and assimilated endermen are legit unfair since they can appear in phase 2

Freaky and cool. Might need modded armour and weapons tho

4:16 u forget to mention Horse has an special skill like the cow, it it death animation/explosion can kill the player

I mean at this point the creators know and dont care that it's unplayable. That's why they dont plan on forwarding it to 1.16.5 and up

I saw a vid about this mod years ago, always interested in it. Might just give it a shot soon. Maybe I'll put it in a world for me and my friend to play without telling them first lol

Thank you for the nine pages of script It’s very helpful.

The parasite biomes should have hives and super hives, which would basically be their version of dungeons/temples to explore, each possessing a miniboss or boss to guard the best loot at the center. There should also be some way to have a "bio lab" or something that would have experiments done on the parasites. It would contain something like a cure or whatever and a way to fight them. It would also have some kind of bioweapon parasite that the player can inject into themself, causing them to merge with the parasite. They would increase their stats slowly and gain new parasite abilities, kinda like Resident Evil meets Bioshock, or just Prototype.

Fungal infection:Spore, I think it is a very difficult mod and I think it would be a very good one for your videos.

Love how similar this is to The Thing

Holy shit. This is basically a death wish in the form of a mod

When you have the fear effect you also can’t break blocks saying that you are too afraid

Scythe has a huge splash radius as a bonus effect

This mod is a combination of mechanics and references from 'The Thing' and the Flood from Halo.

Safe to say that 'The Thing' must be one of the mod creator's horror films

So, the animals, the villagers are still alive inside, they're in there, screaming for help, don't know what's happening, but their body is not under their control anymore? That's horrifying. This is like Last of Us, where the infected are probably alive inside but the fungus controls their body.

I don't know if you take requests or whatever but could you a showcase about Infectum or Fungal Infection Spores?

This mod is insane 😂❤

damn these creatures are more horrifying than in most actual horror games, despite the simple graphics. Very the Thing- and cosmic-body-horror-esque

I like your videos.

nice mod ngl

I absolutely love the general idea, looks, and mechanics, but needs some fine.tuning and balancing.

I hope someone extends origins with a parasite origin or carrier origin

Why you're so damn underrated. You put So much work for these mod showcase and their quality is professionally done. Your video quality is already exceeding most of popular KZfaq creator now. You deserve hundreds of millions of views

I love how one of the marauder is literally the halo 2 juggernaut

I must install it into my lil bro's Minecraft

Btw there's a plan for a stage 5 beckon currently its texture is a multi colored mess oh and some parasites can disable shields and quite a few parasites can create damaging waves and every parasite can inflict saturation which drains your hunger the pods the dispatcher stg 4 summons can inflict extremely high levels of this debuff that will send your hunger flying into the negatives a half of a stack of steak can fix it 😢 this just to fill in everyone on a few missed details add more replies to fill the gap

This Mod is a really cool idea. Minecraft basically turns into Dead Space.

This is waking up my ptsd from the Flood

Geez, this mod is scary.

27:10 that is straight up the flood juggernaut from halo. It even has the same freakout animation.

25:25 😂 I was not expecting that

finally!!!!

Now imagine all these things chasing you in the middle of the night. Terrifying

I'm not arachnophobic, in fact i can pick up Huntsmen spiders and wolf spider's bare handed and I'll be fine But that giant spider animation is actually terrifying.
