Mod Description
Glowroot is a mod that entirely shapes a new underground cave biome made primarily to provide background of the glow squid, from the 2020 Minecraft mob vote. Based on the uniqueness of the glow squid's properties, an entirely new cave biome, the Glowroot Caves, is added within this mod, to primarily expand upon the lore and backstory behind the glow squid's introduction, and provide a sense of lore to any player's world.The video below provides a small look at some of the features and mechanics in Glowroot.
New Biome
The mod introduces a plethora of new plants and blocks to utilize from the new underground cave biome, mainly the new vine-type, Glowroot. Glowroot, along with most of the other new flora life, can glow in the dark.
They all give off extreme amounts of light, to help guide players throughout the cave, and clear up any unwanted mobs.. besides for the ones that spawn there.
New Mobs
The mod introduces a few new additional mobs that can spawn within the biome! They all have unique properties and abilities, with some that can dazzle and blind players, to others that can mine blocks for you!
New Mechanics
Within Glowroot, there are multiple new mechanics that can be created and tooled with within the mod, mainly the new light-based energy system! Using glowroot stone found from blocks in the biome, and glowroot chips dropped by some of the robotics mobs, you can craft new functional rune-covered blocks to create contraptions! Some can convert light levels into redstone, give off glowing effects to nearby mobs, and even grow crops!
F.A.Q
- Will you be porting the mod to fabric, or any other versions?
Once the mod is officially complete and there are no more "content updates," I will consider porting the mod to other mod loaders, and along with other versions. Till the day comes.

- Is there going to be another update with new content? If so, when?
Updates are planned to be released on average every month apart, usually very early. However, as time goes on and the mod eventually does release its more final stages, there isn't going to be many more content additions, and only ports. Leaks and posts for future additional content can be found in the discord server linked in the description.
- Can I use Glowroot in my modpack?
Of course! In fact, I encourage you to do so. Theres a rare chance that it could have generational issues with other mods, but more than likely it won't.
