DISCONTINUATION & REMAKE
ZiNG's Creatures 2
A full remake of the original ZiNG’s Creatures (2025) is now in development.
Why the remake?
The original mod has been officially discontinued due to:
- Storage limitations causing major version rollbacks (1.11.8.1 → 1.15.8)
- Performance issues from too many mod elements
- Ongoing development challenges with ZiNGLib
What’s different this time?
This remake/sequel focuses on stability, creativity, and long-term development. No more rushing—just building it right.
Planned features include:
- Pottery sherds & trim materials
- Custom weapons & upgrades
- Dimension sky systems (clouds, celestial bodies, etc.)
- Enhanced mob animations & new entities
- Expanded commands, game rules, maps, and boss bars
- Amulet systems and more
🗓️ Planned Release: 2029
✨ Includes four brand-new eras, 100+ new classes, and more...
There are also plans for separate 26.1.2 NeoForge and 1.20.1 Forge versions, including a Bedrock Edition port.
This mod will still exist, but will no longer continue receiving updates
NOTES
