Features and download guide for the Extermination mod for Minecraft

What does the Extermination mod offer?

The Extermination mod adds scary tripods from a popular 2005 film called War of the Worlds to Minecraft. These are enormous machines that emerge from the earth following an Extermination event and wreak havoc on the entire world.

They are enormous, almost invincible, and always searching for survivors, like the player who survives in the world.

At first, the world seems normal, with a few mysterious black creatures lying dead in various biomes. These are essentially dead tripods from which players can obtain new kinds of items and blocks to help them survive when other tripods spawn.

The tripods start spawning after two major night events added by the mod: Invasion and Harvest. After these two events are triggered, tripods start emerging from the ground and start releasing blood harvest, which is a deadly substance that causes damage when players come in contact with it.

In addition to releasing blood harvest, Tripods will bring in even more deadly foes, such as the formidable Uberpods and the Martians.
