Survive the invasion

The War of the Worlds is a survival-first mod, and survival won't come easy. Martians can turn a peaceful day into a desperate scramble to protect your home-and your favourite pets.

New to the invasion? Start on Easy. You can always raise the stakes later.

Research. Adapt. Fight back.

Discover the secrets of familiar Minecraft blocks and items, along with new materials brought by the invasion.

• Record your findings in the Diary.
• Advance through new tech levels.
• Craft weapons and gear inspired by Human and Martian history.

Every discovery brings you one step closer to turning the tide.

Make the underground your home

The surface may not be safe, but you can build a life below it. Find new underground blocks and ways to gather wood, food, and other resources usually found above ground.

A well-stocked shelter could be the difference between enduring the invasion and becoming part of it.

Hold back the Red Weed

A biological threat is spreading beneath your world. Martian Red Weed infects nearby blocks and makes them hazardous, so keep an eye on its growth and contain it before your world becomes another red planet.

Tough-but never hopeless

The Martians are ruthless, but they can be beaten. Put your survival skills to work, craft powerful weapons and armour, and fight to save your world.

Prefer a gentler challenge? Adjust the difficulty in the configuration settings.

Stand together

The invasion is better faced with company. Play with friends on your own server, or join the public server through the mod's title screen.
