Invasion Mod (Fork)
I forked one of my favorite mods from back in the day and updated it for the latest Minecraft version, 26.2.
Please note: AI tools were used during the update process. No textures were generated using AI.
Features
- Start an invasion anywhere using a Nexus and a Catalyst.
- Defend the Nexus with your life. Use every unfair advantage available—the invaders will do the same!
- Invaders attack in waves, with each wave becoming increasingly difficult.
- Face a variety of mobs, each with different strengths and weaknesses.
- The Engineer builds bridges and ladders to overcome your defenses.
- Many invading mobs can destroy blocks.
