CORDYCEPS ADDON

CORDYCEPS ADDON transforms Minecraft into a post-apocalyptic world overrun by the deadly Cordyceps infection, inspired by the atmosphere of The Last of Us. Players must navigate through ruined cities, face hordes of infected creatures, and employ stealth and strategy to survive this harsh new environment.

Installation

Before starting, ensure you remove any previous versions of the addon. Download both the Resource and Behavior Packs and rename the file extension to .mcaddon. Import this file into Minecraft with a single click. When creating a new world, enable the required experimental gameplay features to guarantee proper functionality.

Important for PC users: On Windows, the large number of textures may cause resource pack issues. To resolve this, after importing the pack, manually move the resource pack folder to the development_resource_packs directory inside Minecraft’s local files. This step needs to be done once per update.

To find the folder:

• Press Windows + R, type appdata, and press Enter.
• Navigate to Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\resource_packs.
• Move (do not copy) the imported resource pack folder into development_resource_packs.

Key Features

• Dynamic Infection Progression: Encounter new infected types over time—Runners from day 1, Stalkers at day 7, Clickers by day 14, and formidable bosses like the Patroller Bloater after 60 days.
• New Structures: Explore jigsaw-generated cities, automatic sewers, hazardous laboratories, and Cordyceps nests housing dormant infected.
• Anti-Cordyceps Core: Deploy Compressed Fungicide Bombs to clear infected within a 16×16 area and disable Cordyceps blocks in a 30×30 radius, creating safe zones.
• Health Upgrade System: Collect and use pills ranging from Level 1 to 10 to permanently boost maximum health. Higher-level pills drop only from major bosses.
• Survival Challenges: Infected can spawn during daylight hours, and players begin inside a bunker stocked with hidden supplies.

New Infected Types

• Sleep Stalkers: Wake in groups; variants include melee attackers and ranged acid spawners.
• Muted Embryo: Mutant that explodes and evolves into a flying infected, dropping wing fragments used for crafting floatation items.
• Cordyceps Muted: A sub-race derived from failed cures; some can fly and require feeding to function.
• Necrocordyceps: Laboratory-created infected encompassing runners, hunters, bloaters, and more.
• Rat King: Two-phase boss encountered in hospitals; among the most powerful infected.
• Additional Variants: Including Frozen and Rotten Clickers, Bursters, Screamers, Shamblers, Multi-Infected, and deceptive NPCs.

Blocks & Mechanics

• Cordyceps and Tocón Blocks: Induce nausea, summon infected, and propagate infection if not removed.
• Spore Flowers: Spawn after a Cleawer’s death; corrupt large areas and enhance infected strength. Only Compressed Fungicide Bombs can eliminate them.
• Summoner Blocks: Activate special infected such as Bloaters or Shamblers when stepped on.

Survivors & Factions

• Includes iconic factions: Fireflies, FEDRA, WOLF, Scars, and Hunters.
• Random encounters with characters like Joel, Ellie, Bill, Tommy, and Abby who offer trades.
• Survivors may defend bases, initiate raids, or flee from threats dynamically.

Items and Equipment

• Weapons: Daggers (including Ellie’s signature dagger), various guns with five ammo types, flamethrowers, and molotov cocktails.
• Tools: Adrenaline shots, medical supplies, can openers, anti-spore filters, and Cordyceps-resistant armor.
• Vehicles & Turrets: Powered by fuel and batteries, useful for both combat and transportation.
• Fungicide Bombs: Standard bombs cleanse Cordyceps blocks; compressed variants are vital for destroying spore flowers and nests.

Upcoming Update Preview

Future updates will introduce the “Our Blood” theme, featuring the Cordyceps cult, expansive new mega-structures such as subway stations, factories, and underground prisons, along with enhanced darkness and intensified horror elements.

How to Use

Start a new Minecraft world with the addon enabled and experimental gameplay features turned on.

Utilize stealth and light strategically, as infected thrive in darkness.
