Color Out Of Space Mod for Minecraft 1.16.3

The horror fell from the sky.

STARTING OUT

• Once you spawn on a new world, you will have to hurry to collect all necessary items and materials (craft armors and weapons, and get food as fast as you can)
• After a few days, a meteorite will fall near your house
• It will infect everything around: blocks, mobs and players
• You only have one choice: get infected and then cured to get rid of the curse
• If you don't, more meteorites will fall

BEFORE GETTING INFECTED

• You may want to avoid getting immediately infected
• Build another house at a safe distance from meteorite (> 60 blocks), place a bed, sleep on it, and quickly collect all you can
• Prepare all you need: food, at least two iron or diamond complete armors and swords, bows and enough arrows (strongly recommended). It's also recommended to have a map of where the meteorite fell
• Unfortunately, you are running against the clock... the longer it takes in the whole process, the curse will go worst: the infected area, as well as the number of enemies and their aggressivity, will grow

THE INFECTION

• You just need to walk on any infected block (infected dirt, rock or wood... well, you'll notice)
• Apart from other disgraceful effects, at this point you will not be able to loot anything from mining (you still can loot chests and hunt for food)

THE QUEST FOR A CURE

• To get the antidote, you need to collect a number of souls (check the souls counter on the upper right corner of the screen)
• Only alive, human-alike mobs have souls, but you need the evil ones: pillagers, vindicators, invokers, illusioners, witches and traders (yes, traders)
• First, be sure you record somewhere the meteorite coordinates, or you have a map of the area... you'll need to come back later on
• Do not take with you everything you have. If you get killed you will need some replacement for all you need (food, armor and weapons, mainly)
• The raids will help you to easily find more souls... though these other souls will not be so easy to collect

THE CURE

• Once you have collected all required souls, head back to the meteorite
• Perhaps there are some infected mobs guarding the meteorite. Kill'em all or run as fast as you can
• Now you can mine the meteorite (it's color will have changed, looking inactive)
• The antidote is the meteorite itself: eat it to get cured

LOOTING YOUR REWARDS

• As soon as you get cured, all infected blocks will transform
• These new "cured" blocks contain very valuable rewards you may want to loot
• Be aware not all contents will be useful, nor nice, nor peaceful... Every prize has a price
• It's better you prepare for war. Again, it's strongly recommended having enough food, armors, weapons (specially swords and bows) and places to hide and heal
• Once cured, you will be able to mine again, so now you can recover yourself and gather whatever you may need before starting looting your rewards

How do I Install it?

• Install forge 1.16.3-34.1.20 on your local, single player Minecraft 1.16.3 installation
• This should create a folder named 'mods' in your Minecraft folder. If it doesn't, just create it
• Copy 'ColorOutOfSpace-1.16.3.jar' file to 'mods' folder
• If you are planning to use a Minecraft Server:
  • Install forge server (again, 1.16.3-34.1.20) on your Minecraft 1.16.3 server installation
  • Copy 'ColorOutOfSpace-1.16.3.jar' file to 'mods' folder of your server too

How do I Install it for development?

• Prepare your mod development environment: eclipse, OpenJDK and forge (there are many tutorials on the Web)
• Download repository
• Copy and replace "src" folder onto your forge example project folder
• Import the gradle project in eclipse
• Enjoy testing/improving it

How do I get the jar file?

• Download the .jar file
• Copy the .jar file into your mods folder (single player and server)
