Also a random fun fact: since the mod is compatible with alexs caves, the breacher which is a calamity can actually be easily defeated by the Alex's caves Hullbreaker mob. Which is a very cool fight. Trust me i found out about it accidentally while on a sub and nosediving into the abyss biome only to find out im being chase by two behemoth fishes. Since the breacher attacks non infected mobs it will attack the hullbreaker and will proceed to fight each other. The hullbreaker is stronger tho. Theres always a bigger fish. Edit: I've found a video that showed the hullbreaker and breacher fight each other, it's from a TH-camr "Karat Feng" in one of his mob reviews. I still feel amazed by how a natural fish made by evolution wins against a amalgamation of flesh that's just born yesterday.
@@briishcabbage568 The main issue with that is that the infection will slowly creep through the shore to the oceanic wall and down your base by spreading through the oceanic floor once it reaches it, so if anything it just buys you more time to properly prepare and get things ready to destroy the infected biome.

@@cutestcreeper569yeah as much as I like Scape and Run now, I really miss the time when the only truly powerful mobs were the boss parasite. Now every update that add powerful parasites just makes the boss parasites redundant in my opinion.
@@RustyhairedAlp9575It is balanced, despite the mobs still being strong, they're easily countered. Too many fungus?Use flint and steel or whatever mods that adds flamethrower. Too many monsters? Set your base in cold biomes.
@@zu1200This is the best part of the mod: you can actually survive without trying to break the game with flying bases, and you CAN destroy the mycelium. Scape N Run is a horror mod, and Fungal Infestation is a more gameplay mod that you can fully play with. Although I haven't tried Skulk Horde, maybe it's similar too.
Spore infection is still my faiv infection mod. Its the most fair and creepiest imo. The fact it can spread underwater and seeing those vines just raising from the ocean is so unnerving!
gosh, the feeling of in the surface: no infection. and then when you go down your base into an underwater cave, you just see kelp in the distance of the waters...wait is that kelp?...WAIT ITS THE SPORE!!
the only problem i had is that its actualy realy hard to see most of the mod, scince the only way the fungal infection realy spreads is from the scampers wich are rare and arent guaranted to spawn the mound because they can de-spawn, also it took quite a while for infected to actualy starve so they would de-spawn before even starving and leaving a corpse might just be a weird version of the mod i had maybe
Also you should have mentioned that most of mycelium flora is extremely flammable so setting the infested lands on fire is also an option to clear the area.
The difficulty creep is so bad the mod author himself said to use other mods to make yourself stronger because the parasite items in the mod aren’t strong enough so if you play vanilla you will eventually die. Last I heard the boss parasites are being reworked because the new parasites added are too strong due to power creep. Its so bad you never see it in those infection vs vids because it just bullies the other mods. Its also famously one of the few mods that forgelabs didn’t survive because it got crazy hard at a certain point.
@@DatGuy12345 Hell 1 assimilated enderman ended forgelabs latest parasite 100 days with his friends because he forgot to disable them. Thats how unbalanced the mod is 6-7 days in assimilated enderman start spawning right when you start crafting iron armor lmao. Thats too much too early and its crazy how you have to disable certain parasite spawns to make the game fair to play. Along with using another mod that allows hardcore players to help each other after being downed.
The Hindenburg calamity really caught me off guard. Theres so many really cool mobs with neat names and then it comes out of left field like wtf? Really good mod though, im def gonna play in with my friends some time!
Damn, gonna need a mod with anti air turrets. Maybe you start off with wooden ballistas, like in Game of Thrones vs the dragon lol. Then some modern ones, automatically tracks and shoots its target.
the calamaties are all in some germanic language, but they're not actual words, except for sieger which just means winner, but could also be referencing the word siege, considering the sieger's behavior of walking through anything to get to the target through some kind of signal, i like to believe it's the latter. Hindenburg is most likely referencing the LZ 129 Hindenburg, which caught fire and exploded, explaining the bombs part. Though War-Blimps that airdrop bombs and the like do exist too. Gazenbrecher is the only one I have no clue about, googling it leads to no results, but it is clearly in some germanic language, Gazen in dutch means Gauze, a type of fabric/yarn used to cover wounds, while Brecher in german means Breaker, so directly translating it's name we get Gauze Breaker, which doesnt make much sense unless you view it as like, a thing that prevents wounds from healing, and even then still doesnt make much sense.
@@curious9904 Umarmer and Braurei are also esentially german. Umarmer can basically be translated as hugger and Brau(e)rei is Brewery in german. Both names make a lot of sense considering what they do ingame ^^
@@curious9904 google translates *Gazenbrecher* to _view/gaze breaker_ from German to English, and translating it from German to Dutch gives you *Blikbreker,* which means _tin breaker_ in English. Idk how any of that really relates to the name tho (if it does at all). Maybe it's just because gazen is kinda similar to gas and a bulbous flying death machine that bombs you with fungal spores is pretty similar to a bulbous flying death machine that just bombs you with... bombs lol
@FrogVoid1 that's not a valid point. people waste their time all the time. The reason it is sad is because a lot of people only play on older versions they like, that is comfortable, and have no desire to move to an unfamiliar version.

I mean seriously do you hear yourself. Have you never experienced a game that updated something stupid and you rolled back the version?
I love how slow and gradual the infection spreads and because of how infected mobs can spawn naturally it means no matter how skilled or thorough you are it’s only a matter of time before a hive mind is created.
Had an infection in the cave right below my base and the whole thing was infested, all my villagers died cuz of the spores 😭 i killed all of them and tried to clear it out with lava and fire tho but there are still spores left that i gotta take care of
@@lem1185 Remember that really old infection mod called tainted mist? Was a purple mass of infected blocks that slowly spread each passing day and created these tentacle mobs of big and small variants. It even continued to spread when you weren’t on your world I think. I think it was the first type of infection mod.
@@TheSandwhichman108im back here now i thought i got rid of the infestation but it just happened again and killed all my villagers i moved to an ice biome now since i heard they have a harder time surviving there
@@crustaceanking3293 Well, For starters, Just look at them in Halo CE. The use of Spores also brings to mind fungus. But the biggest piece of evidence is the early concept art - Before Bungie had finalized the name, they were just called "Fungal Zombies" - Granted, this was when they were still going to be in Marathon.
@@rustyshovel7179 Excellent points, however: A - Fungi aren't the only organism to use spores as a method of spreading. In fact, spores were the primary method of plant reproduction for quite a while, in prehistoric times. Even today, things like horsetails and mosses shed spores when it's time to reproduce. B - If it was a fungal infection, there would be more signs of the host being "inhabited" by the fungus. If you dont see what i mean, look at the zombies from TLOU. The cordyceps literally erupts out of their skin, and they have little mushroom caps sprouting on their body. In this case, the host's tissue is still very different from the fungal tissue. The Flood, however, converts every single cell of the host's body into Flood cells. It doesn't just infect the host body, it literally consumes it and uses the biomass to form weapons on the host. Nothing original is left behind, besides the general shape of the host.
@@chkntendis3326 Yep! Originally the name of the Gazenbrecher was "Gezeitenbrecher" which means "Tidebreaker" in german, but due to misspelling mistakes it became Gazenbrecher (because the mod author, Harbinger, decided he liked how the misspelling was pronounced hehe)
Feels like if I’m playing this mod I’m going to jump into a lake and get dragged down into it by a random tentacle then told the severity of the situation and that there’s still time to stop the key from turning, but first it must be found.
I think this mod is really great and it immediately reminded me of the film No Sika and the Valley of the Wind. And I would think it would be great if the developer of this mod stole a few ideas from the film, such as the biome. The proto hive mind can create a large cube made of biomass. I think it would be a great opportunity if these enormous coral mushrooms or whatever they're called from the film could also grow in the infected biomes. That would open up so many new design possibilities and it could give the hive mind even more opportunities to create traps and other obstacles for the player.
@@shade7014 Just because Alex wasn't the protagonist probably, don't get me wrong, I like Alex more too, but James isn't like a bad protagonist or anything, and while I do prefer the first game over the second, the second is absolutely still a blast to play.
I love this mod! Its like Scape and Run, but more balanced, XD! I do wish animals and more mobs could get infected though, even if they couldn't evolve. Maybe in the future.
@@harbinger9824 the Halo is definitely visible with the whole assimilate the local animals and entities as well as the hiveminds being pools of biomass by lower forms. 10/10 looking mod
A lot of the names for the mobs come from German and Latin. Is the developer from a German-speaking country, or is it due to the scientific nature of the mod? Since Latin and German are considered languages of science.
@@Daralexen The latin aspect came from it because names in Latin are always 100 times cooler than the same in English (hehe), and the German came around because the Amphibiotic Water Calamity, the Gazenbrecher, means "Tide-Breaker" in German (actually Gezeitenbrecher is tidebreaker in german, Harbinger misspelled it and decided he liked how the misspelled name sounded verbally better...) and so I've kinda stuck to that theme and used German for translating a lot of stuff, first thing being the aforementioned Umarmer, which snowballed into what we have now.
3 Infection mods that I know of as of now. Scape & Run Parasite's Fungle Infection:Spore Sculk Horde I kinda wanna see a proper zombie infection mod now!
I use this mod to convert blocks into other blocks. I want the game world to look as though it's rotting away. I convert blocks to those that can fall like gravel or sand, which can further influence blocks where they fall or if they close enough.
There's some possible meanings of names of Spore mobs. So let's talk about what names mean or translated from. Calamities have names based on German stuff. "Sieger" means "Winner" in German, and "Siege" has letter "r" added to it. The word "Siege" means "Belagerung", but "Sieger" is opposite. "GazenBreacher" is probably a misspelling of German word "Gezeitenbrecher". The name was created when the_harbinger69 misspelt "Gezeitenbrecher" as "Gazenbreacher". However, "Gezitenbrecher" translates to "Tide-Breaker" in German. "Hindenburg" is named after a biggest airship in the world "LZ 129 Hindenburg". Its bombing attacks were inspired by LZ 129 Hindenburg catching on fire and spontanously combusting, but the Nuke attack doesn't, since the Hindenburg is a commercial passenger-carrying rigid airship built by Germany. Both of Organoids Umarmer and Braurei translate to "Hugger" and "Brewery". The reason why Umarmers have this name is because they use trapping abilities to take down enemies, leaving them for other Infected to attack. The reason why Braureis have this name is because they're cauldron-like Organoids with Infected Witches glued together cooking potions in order to buff their allies.
20:48 unwavering nature curse should be an automatic debuf on mycelium weapons because they are good but would make other weapons obsolete. This way instead of replacing the in-game weapons it reserves the mycelium weapons as a really effective and self sustaining way to kill spore creatures. This would also make sense because killing vanilla mobs with the spore made weapons would transfer the infections.
Me and the homies seeing the "Prepare..." message for the 18th time in the playthrough (we have no idea where the protohivemind is, are only armed with JEG scrap shotguns, and have had to deal with nothing but Gazenbrechers and the occasional Hindenburg)
Hello, ive been watching you since you hqd 20k subs and you helped me a lot to choose mods into my game, you choose good mods and i use them, i once posted a comment that i believe you'll once be a big youtuber cause u put a lot of effort in ur videos and not too much subscribers, i looked later on your channel when u had 40k and i thought your channel pretty grew i looked later also but it was still fourty K now i look and u have 90k wow congratulations
Braurei sadly reminds me of a certain piece of cursed Sonic fan-art involving Sonic and Shadow fused together to as a toilet with Sonics mouth as the toilet bowl. More reasons for me to be disguised by it.
@@uuuuuu317 I saw it in an article titled "Worst Sonic Fanart on the Internet" over a decade ago along with similar Sonic toilet fetish artwork. As for Sonic and his unhinged fanart, it is probably due to these people growing up with Sonic as kids and using him as a sexual outlet in adulthood due to nostalgia.
I built a base in an underwater canyon. I had been growing food and bamboo under there with a cobble gen that fed some ore processing for guns and i could only make it so far. It seems that the curseforge version of this is edited from default damage types for mobs like the gazenbreacher in the config though adding things like wither etc.
What I'm hearing from all of this is: *_"This mod essentially turns Minecraft into Dead Space!"_* EDIT: I also love the Dead Space Necromorph-based name choices the mod author came up with! I can tell that a lot of thought and love clearly was put into this.
Really cool showcase! Great designs and interesting mechanics. May I recommend not listing off base stats (health, damage, etc) and possible drops for every single mob? It got a bit repetitive over time. Players could look at a wiki for this info instead. edit: or read the stats displayed on screen instead of also reading it aloud
ForgeLabs has already joined the FI:S discord server and has made it known that he is planning on doing some 100 Fungal Infection: Spore playthrough but we haven't heard anything for months, so we're just patiently waiting
I do like the infection, but as of yet in my personal world. I have yet to even see the Hyper Evolved, a majority of the Evolved, and even the infection spreading in general. I've only ever seen a brute, and the occasional volatile. Both of which die with considerable ease. I'm not sure how the infection is supposed to spread, or how fast it's supposed to be. But it sure is taking its' sweet time. It's been about a week now, or 252 minecraft days with no harder creatures.
One of the devs behind the mod here, For the infection to start spreading in the world, an infected needs to fail its evolution, becoming a scamper. After about 10 minutes the scamper will pop leaving mounds behind starting the infection. Look out for messages in chat like 'prepare' or 'endure' as they will tell you how far along the infection is. The infection can be prevented by being good at minecraft and killing the infected before they evolve properly. Thanks for playing the mod.
Yeah like ive created 8 new other worlds thinking it would change the spawn rate but no my minecraft world is literally 2 weeks old now and all im seeing is brutes and the normal spore variants im literally overprepared but the hive isnt making me bored
@@ThatGardener_ What are the mechanics of the fungal spread? I was living on a sky island and infection started popping up randomly, even though every inch of it was well lit.
Something else that I learned from the mod author, all the mobs gain the weakness debuff in cold biomes and starve twice as fast. You'll have better survival odds if you set up your base in one of those biomes.

@@shade7014 Just because Alex wasn't the protagonist probably, don't get me wrong, I like Alex more too, but James isn't like a bad protagonist or anything, and while I do prefer the first game over the second, the second is absolutely still a blast to play.
I need another PROTOTYPE, sadly, it'll probably never happen.
Now THIS:
This is a horror mod I can get behind!
I love this mod! Its like Scape and Run, but more balanced, XD! I do wish animals and more mobs could get infected though, even if they couldn't evolve. Maybe in the future.
As someone who enjoyed SRP, this mod looks AMAZING! I like the brutal stakes of SRP, but this feels actually playable, lol.
The mob design in this mod are so damn cool!!
This mod gives off the vibes that Dying Light, Left 4 Dead, and The Last of Us were all sources of inspiration, and I love it.
Also halo and deadspace for the more twisted parts
@@harbinger9824 the Halo is definitely visible with the whole assimilate the local animals and entities as well as the hiveminds being pools of biomass by lower forms. 10/10 looking mod
I love the creativity of all the biome plants and trees and stuff over Minecraft "infection" mods like this. It's so cool
Cant wait forge labs to play this mod
Can't wait to install this, the sculk infection, and parasite, and other mods that adds in infection like these.
Everything looks sick as heck, but the weapons look like candy canes...
Some of the creatures have Zerg inspirations for their designs. Cool mod!
Would it be possible that you check out Snowy Sniffer mod? It's a rather small mod, yet full of simple charm.
We need to see a world with these guys and the parasite mod, and speed up time and just let them brawl for like, a year and see what happens
Parasite would win because of the unbalanced nature of the mod
Umarmer is german and means hugger
hehe yep, we named it because of its squeeze ability, and I thought the name was cool and also funny
@@pilotmoo2449are you the mod creator?
@@Atomic_Pinneaple he is my modeler
A lot of the names for the mobs come from German and Latin. Is the developer from a German-speaking country, or is it due to the scientific nature of the mod? Since Latin and German are considered languages of science.
@@Daralexen The latin aspect came from it because names in Latin are always 100 times cooler than the same in English (hehe), and the German came around because the Amphibiotic Water Calamity, the Gazenbrecher, means "Tide-Breaker" in German (actually Gezeitenbrecher is tidebreaker in german, Harbinger misspelled it and decided he liked how the misspelled name sounded verbally better...) and so I've kinda stuck to that theme and used German for translating a lot of stuff, first thing being the aforementioned Umarmer, which snowballed into what we have now.
This mod has grown up so fast and it's beautiful.
Cordyceps in Minecraft before GTA 6 💀💀
Yeeeee
🌽🏀
....I am the monument to all your sins....
Finally! Some real challenge for me and my automatic shotgun!
Yes, installing a gun mod makes the gameplay of this mod so much fun. It’s like the Last of Us as he mentioned but in reality cuz spores and guns
Run and escape parasite : finally, a worthy opponent
Ah yes, another mod of horrors beyond my comprehension, just what i needed
Damn they got so much resident evil references in that mod! Kudos to the developpers frr
3 Infection mods that I know of as of now.
Scape & Run Parasite's
Fungle Infection:Spore
Sculk Horde
I kinda wanna see a proper zombie infection mod now!
Review Withering Away: Reborn, and Mutagenesis pls
I use this mod to convert blocks into other blocks. I want the game world to look as though it's rotting away. I convert blocks to those that can fall like gravel or sand, which can further influence blocks where they fall or if they close enough.
These mobs look awesome.
There's some possible meanings of names of Spore mobs. So let's talk about what names mean or translated from.
Calamities have names based on German stuff. "Sieger" means "Winner" in German, and "Siege" has letter "r" added to it. The word "Siege" means "Belagerung", but "Sieger" is opposite. "GazenBreacher" is probably a misspelling of German word "Gezeitenbrecher". The name was created when the_harbinger69 misspelt "Gezeitenbrecher" as "Gazenbreacher". However, "Gezitenbrecher" translates to "Tide-Breaker" in German. "Hindenburg" is named after a biggest airship in the world "LZ 129 Hindenburg". Its bombing attacks were inspired by LZ 129 Hindenburg catching on fire and spontanously combusting, but the Nuke attack doesn't, since the Hindenburg is a commercial passenger-carrying rigid airship built by Germany.
Both of Organoids Umarmer and Braurei translate to "Hugger" and "Brewery". The reason why Umarmers have this name is because they use trapping abilities to take down enemies, leaving them for other Infected to attack. The reason why Braureis have this name is because they're cauldron-like Organoids with Infected Witches glued together cooking potions in order to buff their allies.
That is so disgusting. I love it!
If anyone else is wondering, make a CDU & fill it with ice canisters to get rid of it in the newest versions.
As a circle of the spores druid enjoyer I approve of this mod
20:48 unwavering nature curse should be an automatic debuf on mycelium weapons because they are good but would make other weapons obsolete. This way instead of replacing the in-game weapons it reserves the mycelium weapons as a really effective and self sustaining way to kill spore creatures. This would also make sense because killing vanilla mobs with the spore made weapons would transfer the infections.
I used this mod on my modpack, tell ya at the first few days everything was fine but a few more days later it was hell.
Bro is the type of person to play happy music while people are dying
Just watched Forge Lag’s video of surviving 100 days in a Hardcore world with this mod 🔥🔥🔥 It was glorious
these mods inspired me into making my own infection datapack
Me and the homies seeing the "Prepare..." message for the 18th time in the playthrough (we have no idea where the protohivemind is, are only armed with JEG scrap shotguns, and have had to deal with nothing but Gazenbrechers and the occasional Hindenburg)
"the hidenburg"
*1000 year stare*
Good thing it's missing the symbology
Hello, ive been watching you since you hqd 20k subs and you helped me a lot to choose mods into my game, you choose good mods and i use them, i once posted a comment that i believe you'll once be a big youtuber cause u put a lot of effort in ur videos and not too much subscribers, i looked later on your channel when u had 40k and i thought your channel pretty grew i looked later also but it was still fourty K now i look and u have 90k wow congratulations
Braurei sadly reminds me of a certain piece of cursed Sonic fan-art involving Sonic and Shadow fused together to as a toilet with Sonics mouth as the toilet bowl. More reasons for me to be disguised by it.
WHY do you know that exist, WHY did they make it, and WHAT the hell is wrong with the sonic community and weird ass art.
@@uuuuuu317 I saw it in an article titled "Worst Sonic Fanart on the Internet" over a decade ago along with similar Sonic toilet fetish artwork. As for Sonic and his unhinged fanart, it is probably due to these people growing up with Sonic as kids and using him as a sexual outlet in adulthood due to nostalgia.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK 💀
I was having a good day. We were all having a good day. Why did you ruin it?
@@matttwigg9475 A repressed memory came back when I saw that one mob.
I built a base in an underwater canyon. I had been growing food and bamboo under there with a cobble gen that fed some ore processing for guns and i could only make it so far. It seems that the curseforge version of this is edited from default damage types for mobs like the gazenbreacher in the config though adding things like wither etc.
Mods like this should add a way settlements can defend themselves
Love these infection mods 😊
Darn man this really is advanced for a mod it's barely minecraft, in a good way
This + Scape and run parasites would be absolutely insane
Bros suicidal
What I'm hearing from all of this is:
*_"This mod essentially turns Minecraft into Dead Space!"_*
EDIT: I also love the Dead Space Necromorph-based name choices the mod author came up with! I can tell that a lot of thought and love clearly was put into this.
Bro I Love your videos😀
Love is in the air
WRONG
MACTERA GRABBER
The stinger is basically a Mutalisk
Really cool showcase! Great designs and interesting mechanics.
May I recommend not listing off base stats (health, damage, etc) and possible drops for every single mob? It got a bit repetitive over time. Players could look at a wiki for this info instead.
edit: or read the stats displayed on screen instead of also reading it aloud
There is no wiki for this yet unfortunately
@@Bahhumbug2016 I guess the mod documentation might have it?
The phayre kinda looks like a mutalisk from starcraft 2
Another level of apocalypse survival game,we should tag Forgelab
ForgeLabs has already joined the FI:S discord server and has made it known that he is planning on doing some 100 Fungal Infection: Spore playthrough but we haven't heard anything for months, so we're just patiently waiting
Nice guide. This mod looks like Scape and Run: Parasitise
Those Weapons Remind Me of Quinques from Tokyo Ghoul
Amazing vid this mod is very well made
2:02 Infecteds attempt to group up into hordes with a system called "partnership system"
I do like the infection, but as of yet in my personal world. I have yet to even see the Hyper Evolved, a majority of the Evolved, and even the infection spreading in general.
I've only ever seen a brute, and the occasional volatile. Both of which die with considerable ease. I'm not sure how the infection is supposed to spread, or how fast it's supposed to be. But it sure is taking its' sweet time. It's been about a week now, or 252 minecraft days with no harder creatures.
One of the devs behind the mod here,
For the infection to start spreading in the world, an infected needs to fail its evolution, becoming a scamper. After about 10 minutes the scamper will pop leaving mounds behind starting the infection. Look out for messages in chat like 'prepare' or 'endure' as they will tell you how far along the infection is. The infection can be prevented by being good at minecraft and killing the infected before they evolve properly.
Thanks for playing the mod.
Is there a config thing or anything where we can force start it at last levels of evolution?@@ThatGardener_
@@ThatGardener_Thats a cool system
Yeah like ive created 8 new other worlds thinking it would change the spawn rate but no my minecraft world is literally 2 weeks old now and all im seeing is brutes and the normal spore variants im literally overprepared but the hive isnt making me bored
@@ThatGardener_ What are the mechanics of the fungal spread? I was living on a sky island and infection started popping up randomly, even though every inch of it was well lit.
lava and flint and steel: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
this seems cool af :O
Imagine an Origin type mod that allows you to be the start of the hive. It'd be real cool.
Epic fight with this would be so fun
Очень похоже на инфекцию из игры Resident Evil 7 😁😁☣☣
Forgelabs gonna make $200k in ad revenue off this mod
This mod brings heavy' the last of us' vibes.
thanks, i love you
Living in the nether doesn’t sound so bad after watch this.
16:03 The Hindenburg very funny
So this is what fungus foot is up to...
I need a list of all “world corruption” type mods like this and parasite
Uau, Legal, Demais.😀.
18:30 ngl the living armor look like the armored Titan or a Volatiles from dying light
I know right?
