[@tobleroneilluminati5048]

I think it's a combination of the thing, the flood (halo), the Los plagos parasite from resident evil 4, and the way the living flesh comes together to make the adapted parasites reminds me of the way the mindflayer grows in stranger things series 3

[@Undead441]

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.

I like the mod itself, the idea of having you're own world turned against you is really cool.

Like the only way to get it is to cheat which lame tbh.

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

Because the mod is unfinished and they want the mod to be hard. Unfortunately the devs don't grasp the difference between Hard/Unfair. Due to design of the mod the phases pass too fast with multiple players, while in single player you get swarmed. Edit: I otherwise like the mod, but I can see it easily being forgotten if anyone makes a fair parasite-like mod.

[@chronicbackpain6047]

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.

This mod is way too gimmicky and works horribly in mod packs since it is just too big and controlling for other mods to gain your attention.

[@Foamamusic]

There’s a bit of info that has changed or has been missed. Dispatchers: Dispatchers don’t only transport parasites, they also have an inventory to store them. If they store enough incomplete forms as a stage 2 dispatcher, the dispatcher will give them a proper form. It will change the incomplete forms into a creature called a heed, a spider like parasite with severed heads growing from its neck, held up by a vein. If a stage 3 dispatcher does this, the form will be changed to a crux, a tall, bulky humanoid with a mouth that takes up the entire head. A crux is also capable of picking up blocks to throw at enemies. Carcasses+lures: the lures have changed. Now they simply pause evolution points. There is an activity involving lures that decreases points though, called carcassing. To create a carcass you just clear a 7x7 area, place a lure in the center and place a lure of the same kind in each corner. I heard of carcasses on the wiki, I tried one in survival but I’m not sure how to make it register as a carcass rather than 5 lures. Beckons: What they meant saying “beckons won’t take damage anymore in phase 3” is that if a becon is in existence somehow before phase 3, it will decay. They won’t decay at phase 3+, don’t worry they still can be killed. Adaptables:(primitive/adapteds) the video mentioned a green blob in the adapted yelloweye description, I’ve been killed by this effect while fighting a primitive yelloweye. Both can do this. Also, there are two existing primitives that at the time this comment was made had no adapted form: tozoons, which are giant worm like creatures that move similar to hosts, and vermin which float around spewing out smaller parasites. Vermin are also the only source I’m aware of for gnats. While fighting an adapted bolster, it began flailing its limbs rapidly after I began using a hit-and-run strat. I thought it was a temper tantrum, as not being able to harm me seems like it would make the big guy grumpy. I was VERY wrong. When I went in for another strike I discovered it was feeling around for targets. An arm grabbed me and pulled me into the gaping maw of the bolster. It was the finishing blow that took me out. Misc: purifiers unfortunately don’t clean blocks anymore, but they do still stop parasites from spawning there specifically. The ancients, (dreadnoughts and overlords,) now only spawn from the death of a stage 4 beckon, with a small chance for this to occur. Nodes are only available in phase 7 now. Also, the terror hasn’t stopped advancing at phase 8. Phase 9 and 10 have been added but I don’t have information on what those phases do, please visit the wiki if you want to know about the new phases. Also the overlord has a new model, the old one now used for a parasite called a haunter.

[@Mr.Nightmare956]

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.

The Assimilated Bear is absolutely horrifying

[@M1551NGN0]

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?

[@sufficient4834]

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.

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

[@technoprotogen862]

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!

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

You are right, I love the mod but it is unfair and the devs just claim it is hard. Each mob starting with Primitive (And Sim Endermen) are designed like bosses. Often having instant death conditions (Yellow Eye, Reeker) or doing too much damage (Long Arms do about half health in Diamond.) all while having to deal with mobs that hold you in place or do percent damage to your armor and having to be constantly prepared for Endermen summoning an armor which Depth Strider or Lava are the most realistic way to be safe for. These would be fine if it was a 1v1 but it isn't, since most of these appear when Parasites spawn naturally. The best strategy I've found is Infinity Bow with Flame and Punch 2. Swiftness if you want to maximize flame. Which if you get used to turns them all into an obnoxious joke save for Sim Endermen where Sharpness Axes are your best bet.

​​@@sifatjahan2197for what specifically is scary in this mod aside the models ? In early game it will give you jumpscares but as the time progresses it gets really annoying at the point it's not even fun anymore....

[@gabrielg2395]

Build a base under the sea.

[@Mad_Skeletron]

@@gabrielg2395 there is also a parasite that lives underwater and it swims faster than you

[@johnbeverly9723]

Does anyone have a nerfed config for the mod

[@dxlz9077]

It’s fully customizable, I’ve only disabled the assimilated enderman as it’s a pain in the ass already in the first phases

[@jeisonjairportillasaucedo797]

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

[@hellegfuin4143]

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

[@derrickhageman1969]

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

[@PartnerBot2007]

😦

[@cutestcreeper569]

No. The late phases are already bs. We do NOT need more phases. Instead, the devs should nerf the hell out of stages past 3 so that they are actually fun.

[@derrickhageman1969]

​@@cutestcreeper569 Do You mean the nexus parasite stages? because there's no planning for new phases

[@t1ll316]

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

[@MarioTheLiopleurodon]

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.

[@todobienencasa6924]

a scp but of containment parasites? It sounds interesting to be able to study them and look for a cure so to speak. ​

[@PIutonium94]

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.

[@Jack_Marston995]

Halo's Flood and John Carpenter's The Thing

[@willburr2544]

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

[@julianreinoso1406]

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

[@sporeham1674]

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.

[@BearHeadedWerewolf]

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

I hope that one day this mod will be updated to a newer mc version. A parasite warden would have to be a real killing machine xD

[@CloudColumncat]

24:44 That cow : It's fine. :)

[@noobychoco454]

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

[@D4Skewer]

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

[@MrNope-oo9nh]

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

[@saturdaynightslammaster3829]

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

[@abnergonzalez3496]

To whoever designed the abilities and the scaling of the stats of these things: don't ever fucking cook again.

[@eikosi-ena]

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

[@zephyrmasterstormforger8687]

You obviously beat the parasites by reminding them who was created in god’s image

[@danialjanbakhsh9047]

Geez, this mod is scary.

[@DJ_Studios-OFFICIAL]

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

[@DarkDoughnutsVids]

Thank you for your hard work

[@thatguysanimation]

I got chills every second when looking at this mod

[@therandomsaiyajin]

I decided to get my friends into this chaos and it was literal hell when we entered. It took 3 attempts to actually settle down and begin work. We had to disable assimilated endermen due to how aggressive they were for us. We ended up splitting up into 2 groups, myself and 2 others made up team Civilization and team 2 made up Team Revolution when ended up getting fucked over by the endermen until we removed them. We entered stage 4 now and we decided to move to the nether for a bit but we require food and team revolution has chickens so we have to get some eggs and go back to the nether before shit hits the fan fully.

[@todobienencasa6924]

good news, they nerfed the assimilated endermans

[@therandomsaiyajin]

@@todobienencasa6924 I know, my friends are still keeping them disabled tho lol. They felt traumatized by them, specifically a friend of mine we’ll call dudeboi. Dudeboi reaallllly had a bad time. So bad in fact the few times we offered parasites he said no almost instantly lol

[@inodinojan878]

I like the early stages - because its like a apocalypse that ends society like last of us or walking dead, but the late stages differ so much and i really don't like that

[@peika8324]

This mod is definition of prolonged the inevitable death of your world. Even with friends to preserve the world we require to cleanse the parasites everyday even than in the background the still parasite is still gaining more strength. Fun for a month of playing but not ideal for long running.

[@br3hbmc79]

Bro this mod is unplayable without other mods or tweaking the config files

[@SonaChainsaw]

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

[@kaelcoates2396]

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

[@cokemud]

The Marauder looks like the cut halo 2 flood juggernaut

[@Saberfighterx]

The entire mod is like a lesser flood added to Minecraft

[@thorveim1174]

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

[@anonecki]

Love how similar this is to The Thing

[@The_21_GOD]

The Assimilated Polar Bear gives me nightmares

[@loke4315]

I must install it into my lil bro's Minecraft

[@Cheese_lover556]

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

[@someberrymuffin]

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?

[@ompundir7539]

HELLA YEAH I have been waiting for this!!

[@DuduZaoBro]

Hello York. I just here to ask if you can do the Aerial Hell Showcase

[@gabeux9800]

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

[@dxlz9077]

They do, they just want to finish adding every assimilated creature from the current version and then start to work on the recent versions with new assimilated stuff. They officially plan to make every vanilla mod assimilated

[@kanestadowns3379]

What is the BACKSTORY of the parasites? WHY ARE THEY HERE

[@Cyn_likes_corpses]

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

[@Hiroki_Sadoki]

8:48 in Australia!!!

[@op-tz3bu]

1 month ago u not upload video 😢 what u are doing u said uare active in your channel when next video is coming plz tell me reply me

[@theotherone7628]

The best way I can describe this mod is that there is no drawn out fights. You either nuke these parasites or they nuke you. I suggest getting tech guns with this mod along with some other mod with good armor

[@davrulesdawurld]

So its like The Thing

[@leftoverciccia]

25:25 😂 I was not expecting that

[@MarioTheLiopleurodon]

If the Flood, Tyrannids, and the Thing all got merged together, this mod is what they'd become.

[@TonTon-ez2mc]

Scythe has a huge splash radius as a bonus effect

[@admiralshellshock4566]

Aw hell nah they done put the flood in Minecraft
