Minecraft's From Another World mod can be installed using any mod loader with Forge, Fabric, Quilt, or NeoForge. For this guide, we have used the popular Curseforge repository and its own mod loader.

Here's how you can download and install Minecraft's From Another World mod:

  1. Head to the official Curseforge website and download the launcher if you do not have it already.
  2. Once you have downloaded and logged in with your Mojang/Microsoft credentials, search for Minecraft's From Another World mod by acats. Alternatively, you can click on this link to go to the mod page.
  3. If you wish to install the From Another World mod manually, click on the Download button on the right. Then, place the downloaded ZIP file in the mods folder of your game's mod directory. However, if you do not have an instance with Forge/Fabric/Quilt/NeoForge installed or are new to mods and add-ons, using the official Curseforge loader is recommended.
  4. Hit the orange Install button and wait for the deep link to open on the Curseforge app.
  5. Once the app loads, you will be prompted to create a new instance (installation) or choose an existing instance of the game to install the mod. You can choose an existing one, but it is recommended to install this mod on a fresh instance of Minecraft to avoid any conflicts with existing mods, shaders, or data packs and risk world corruption. Name your instance and create it.
  6. After naming the profile and creating it, you will be redirected to the installed instance's page. Wait for the mod and its assets to get installed and assembled.
  7. Once ready, hit the orange Play button on the right side to launch Minecraft with the From Another World mod successfully installed.

Additionally, if you wish to install the mod manually, you must install the following add-ons:

  • AzureLib
  • FromAnotherLibrary

Make sure to place these mods in the same directory as the instance where you placed the files for the From Another World mod. This will ensure the add-on detects them successfully.

The Minecraft From Another World mod features a host of aliens and shapeshifters that colonize your world. You load into a new world and after some time, a message is displayed that states that something fell from the sky. Within a few minutes, you will notice a slowly growing swarm of aliens.

These aliens can be destroyed using sources of fire like the flint and stone. Additionally, you can also craft a flamethrower or use the flaming arrow that deals devastating damage to these hostile mobs.

Your objective is to eliminate the hive and horde of aliens and rid your world of these otherworldly creatures. Make sure to burn and sensitize a spawn area since the aliens can use assimilation liquid and tentacles to spread further.

Minecraft's From Another World mod features a host of powerful and gruesome aliens. This provides a real challenge since defeating them is not enough — you must follow them to their deathbed and exterminate the area to ensure new spores and aliens don't spawn from that spot.

  • Crawler
  • Blood Crawler
  • Juliette Thing
  • Dogbeast
  • Dogbeast Spitter
  • Impaler
  • Beast
  • Palmer Thing
  • Blair Thing
  • Alien Thing
  • Split-face

Each of these has different powers and abilities, with the Alien Thing being the most powerful boss mob in this mod. Defeating it will take a considerable amount of time, skills, and patience. It is recommended to stock up on healing items in Minecraft before you take on this mob.
