An independent project by Jonas

Minecrobes

Small organisms.
A block-sized world.

A microbiology-inspired mod exploring bacteria, biofilms and laboratory tools at a very different scale.

01 / Biology, built in blocks

From the field
to the workbench.

The early prototype brings together collectible biofilms, macrobacteria and the beginnings of a laboratory bench.

The longer-term direction connects sampling, culturing and biological responses to outbreaks. Those broader systems are an ambition in development, rather than a finished gameplay loop.

Minecrobes is Jonas's independent mod project. It is not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft.

02 / From the prototype

A little laboratory.

Existing development media.
More in-game captures will follow.
