About this Mod
Welcome to Entomophobia!
Entomophobia (meaning, "Fear of Bugs") is a bug-themed infection mod, aimed to add numerous themed arthropodic hostile mobs to your world, with the sole goal of infection and consumption! Large, fast, hostile, and sprouting various insect body parts, these massive hexapods will swarm you and attempt to overpower you with sheer numbers.
Systems:
- Infection
After a few days in your world, random mobs will be afflicted with Myiasis, which will shortly after kill them, converting them into their Myiatic form. These infected variants will attempt to spread out and kill more mobs, amassing a horde
- Hivemind
These mobs act like a hivemind. If you strike one, all nearby myiatics in a large area will target you. I plan to expand this hivemind system in the future, allowing them to group together in swarms and build nests.
Important Info:
This mod requires Geckolib (4.8.3+)

Server lagging with Entomophobia – how to optimize performance?

Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
