Addon: Cordyceps

Cordyceps is a large horror addon for Minecraft Bedrock about a fungal infection, a devastated world and survival against dangerous mutants. A portal unleashes the Cordyceps infection into Minecraft, forcing players to search for supplies, avoid infected areas, defend bases and slowly cleanse the world.

The addon is inspired by The Last of Us. It includes infected variants, Cordyceps nests, spore flowers, cities, laboratories, survivor factions, known characters, weapons, turrets and vehicles.

Infection progression

The infection progresses over days and gradually makes the world more dangerous. Runners can start appearing on day 1, Stalkers by day 7, Clickers by day 14, and strong bosses such as the Patroller Bloater after day 60.

Infected can spawn during the day too. The game starts inside a bunker with hidden supplies, making survival tense from the beginning: players need to explore carefully, use light and prevent the fungus from spreading around their base.

Structures and infected zones

The addon generates ruined cities, sewers, dangerous laboratories and Cordyceps nests filled with sleeping infected. These places can provide useful loot, but they are risky because of ambushes, dense enemy groups and blocks that support the infection.

The Anti-Cordyceps Core is activated with a Compressed Fungicide Bomb. It clears infected in a 16x16 area and disables Cordyceps blocks within 30x30 blocks, creating a safe zone. Regular fungicide bombs cleanse Cordyceps blocks, while compressed bombs are essential against spore flowers and nests.

New infected

The addon adds many enemy types. Sleep Stalkers wake up in groups and have melee and ranged variants. Muted Embryo explodes and evolves into a flying infected form that drops wing fragments for crafting floating items. Cordyceps Muted is a mysterious sub-race created by a failed cure, with some variants able to fly.

Necrocordyceps includes lab-born infected such as runners, hunters, bloaters and more. Rat King is a two-phase boss found in hospitals. Other enemies include Frozen Clickers, Rotten Clickers, Bursters, Screamers, Shamblers, Multi-Infected and fake NPCs.

Blocks and mechanics

Cordyceps blocks and Tocon blocks cause nausea, summon infected and spread through the world if not destroyed. Spore Flowers appear after a Cleawer dies, corrupt large areas and boost infected. Only a Compressed Fungicide Bomb can stop them.

Summoner Blocks trigger special infected, such as Bloaters or Shamblers, when stepped on. The addon also includes a health upgrade system: pills from levels 1-10 permanently increase maximum health, and higher levels drop only from major bosses.

Survivors, gear and vehicles

The world includes factions from The Last of Us: Fireflies, FEDRA, WOLF, Scars and Hunters. Joel, Ellie, Bill, Tommy and Abby can appear randomly and offer trades. Some survivors may trigger raids, defend bases or flee from danger.

Gear includes daggers, guns with five ammo types, flamethrowers, molotovs, adrenaline, medicine, can openers, anti-spore filters and Cordyceps armor. Vehicles and turrets use fuel and batteries, making them useful for both combat and transport.
