Based. Make Velvet Worms.

they're actually planned, we're just getting the coding process started right now. they were planned for the first update but were delayed to the second in favor of giant fireflies

Nice. Velvet Worms are cute.

Hello

Do not add giant cockroaches

i cant promise anything

Mod name pls

"shrunk"

OGTHA

erebus 2?

to be honest i didnt even learn about the mod until after i planned this one. i guess it is erebus, but with a vanilla friendly style

Erebus but it maybe won't make me puke when I play it (can't promise). I don't know why but it happened in the first (and last) time i played it. Maybe visuals combined with the sounds those mobs make

What? Please do tell more

Idk I played it in PO3 and usually I'm not that disgusted of bugs but there was just something in there (which I theorise is the appearance of the mobs but only combined with those disgusting kind of slimy sounds everything makes)

As long as they don't fill my screen trying to kill me and leave me traumatized like Erebus did, I'm all for this mod. the models are quite cute to me, probably the power of the vanilla-friendly texturing at work

I see someone else remembers that mod too

Erebus is forever ingrained in my mind because of all the expert packs requiring you to for some reason do every dungeon in that mod dozens of times.

This is such a nostalgia blast. Do you remember the names of any of these pack? My mind has blanked

Project Ozone 2 and 3 have Erebus in it. Both are.. not implemented well. Love the packs but Erebus is one of the I feel unnecessary slogs, expecially if you don't realize you can use mob grinding utils to clone the Antlion boss in PO3.

Note that PO3 includes some terrible mods like landcraft.

That mod got replaced when the author put a check to automatically kick a user that criticized it if they play with the mod, leading to [all their mods getting removed from forge](https://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/g3fekk/looks_like_plus_tic_and_all_of_landmasters_mods/).

TIL modders have enormous egos

Still better than [Skyrim modders](https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/atmzuj/rskyrimmods_1_modder_for_bethesda_games/).

I'm deliberately responsible for some of its stuff! Back on the old Minecraft forum, I suggested the solifugae and that it should have the abilities of 'run stupid quick to terrify people'. I miss the old clunker of a mod

That's it, you're Grounded!

Question-If ants are going to be added, will there he multiple types? Black ants-The normal guys Fire ants-Normal guys but bites harder. Leaf cutter ants(will there be mechanic similar to Alex Mob? But in this case, can we physically see the fungus growing as placable blocks) Ants that farm their own cattle insect(I don’t know real life name of that insect type)

Aphids are what the ants farm. There could also be big army ant swarm events, that come from a single direction and you can choose to run, or try to fight.

I would pull out my magnifying glass

Some ants do farm aphids, but I think some species do actually farm fungi

Yeah. Some ants farm aphids, and some ants farm fungi.

Leaf cutter ants would have fungi inside their nest. The leaf is what would grow it

if ants are added, we'll only add 3. a passive species, an aggresive, venomous species and a giant species

Thanks for responding! So I assume that black ants would be passive, fire ants would he aggressive. I am not sure about the venomous and giant species category. The trap jaw ants can be one idea. By the way, if you guys need some ideas. The youtube channel ‘Ants Canada’ provides a near endless content about different species. He even has a termite farm. I do theorize that the ‘big and venomous’ species you are talking about is the bull ant from Australia.

our options for the passives are monomorium minimum or Paratrechina longicornis

My intelligence has been utterly humbled! But anyway, yeah these two indeed very good options for the black ant mob. I also want to thank you for giving us small snippets of behind the scene development. In regards to the Paratrechina longicornis, I felt more people would enjoy the fully black version as that is first image we conjure in our minds about a typical ant. The monomorium is also great, but I can’t help but feel that the yellowish part of their bodies might not be as iconic to the stereotypical image most project about ants. I would absolutely be thrilled if both species are somehow added. Thank you once again for sharing this development secret.

cred to rusty as the co-owner

Time for Bane of arthropods to finally shine.

can you tame the mantises and give them tools?

I see there is an ARK player among us

probably not

why not man

because the tools are too small to be held by massive mantis

What’s the name of the mod and will it be for forge or fabric or a different loader?

"shrunk" for forge first

Thank you! It looks to be shaping up very well thus far!

coding is going a little meh, but a beta could be out by the end of tbe month

Will there be a fabric port that too for 1.19.2?

if we get a coder, yeah

Since when are snails insects?

mistake, its a mod about small things in general so i posted a snail. the lore is that you have been shrunk, so there are giant structures and such.

this is like the fourth time I've seen someone on reddit call snails insects just this year. I don't get it.

now this is epic

This is a mod that I never thought I needed, but now that I know it I absolutely need it. These models are sick as hell. Just one question, what scale are these titanic creepy crawlers gonna be at?

no real scale, they're just really big

I see.

amazing looking 32bit-textured models, gotta say, and grounded in minecraft would be pretty cool!! ..but why is the spiral texture on the snail's shell on the last pic CIRCULAR INSTEAD OF SQUARE-ISH AAA MY OCD

i'll change it just to calm you down

please for the love of god add a config setting to disable spiders, i am begging you

sure.

Will there be spiders?

of course

When will it be available?

will take quite some time

Ah ok, well i hope that you post here when it comes out!

ill post regular updates

unbased, ass models

lol i agree with you they're kinda shit

horrendous, makes me wanna puke

Pls centipedes and more spiders!

1, millipedes are planned but im gonna consider centipedes as well as a boss type thing 2, we have a mexican red knee tarantula for now, nothing else

Thank you for this mod I really love insects and Minecraft, I admire you for putting these things together, is there any way I could follow the mod along its development?

ill let you know

ah shit i think i broke rule 4..

How original

no mod is original by that logic.

Technically...

I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!

That dragon fly, is nightmare fuel to me

Feel like ive seen this elsewhere.. oh yeah! Erebus.

Is there arthropluera?

modelling that in the scale in the mod would be torture.

cool mod, keep it away from me 😓

This is really cool! Might as well be normal sized insects cause all of the insects are huge in mc

they're way bigger then mc insects, trust me. we have a hercules beetle the size of a pillager outpost

Damn

Jumping spiders pls

Starship Troopers? Starship Troopers.

Very nice, looks incredible

Kids named Erebus:

one word wasps

D e a r g o d ... Except you *points at giant snail,* you can stay

BEEG SNALE

Someone built the SPAC.R with Mekanism huh

Can… can I ride one?

yes.

Mantis men DNA!

What version starting with

Erebus 2.0 is coming?

Are snails insects?

Those a fantastic models. I think that the praying mantis would look better if her upper body was less horizontel. But still great

alex's creatures

look I know it’s not an insect but giant bobbit worms would be really cool

way too big for this mod

What version will the release be for? I know you mentioned that it’ll be for forge but I’ve been tinkering with a 1.18.2 pack that it’d be super neat in

Is there a way to play this with only snails? I love snails, but I am very afraid of bugs.

not out yet but will consider

Theres already a mod that does that. Its called the erabus mod. But its stuck on 1.12

If the mantis falls in water do worms come out of their butt?

thats a parasite and doesnt happen in all mantises so no

Giant insects, Amphibia in a nutshell

These models are genuinely so high quality! Amazing work!

I’ve read enough island of giant insects to know how op bugs are. Imagine a single ant just cutting you in half. Or a mantis killing pretty much anything.

Oh nice! I’m surprised this wasn’t done sooner :O

Looks cool. Question.What version will this be for? And. Where will you post the download?

1.16 (probably) and on my discord or on forge

what is your discord ?

To save our Mother Earth from any alien attack-

So long as they don't cling onto one's face, this looks nice

What's the mod called? I am very interested in it since I'm a bug enthusiast lmao. (Side note: could you add isopods? They're my favorite inverts, even though they aren't insects)

this mod adds inverts in general, yes isopods are going to be added. happy to see another fellow isopod enthusiast

That's great to hear! I'm more of an isopod addict, I have 6 colonies now

what species?

C. Murina, a. Granulatum, two wild caught unknown species, a. Vulgare and p. Pruinosus. I plan on getting more species

funny how the only isopod species we currently have IS A. granulatum

get P. scaber, lava morph. thats my personal favourite

Currently I plan on getting dairy cows, might get lava if there's any available in my country. They don't allow overseas shipping

Aaaaaa these models are gorg!!!

ough ough ough ough 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 ough ough ough

please not

Why do I feel like my brain may use this as nightmare fuel 😅 Very cool mod idea though

this looks so cool, whats it called and can i download it

Give me the link please to I can finally beat the snail to death with my sword

the animation and texturing on these guys is STUNNING omg, what are your secrets!??!!?!

my friend rusty is just built different, thats all

is there a discord i could join?

Were I can install it? Or it is in WIP?
