Inquisition Delayed

☣️ Overview

Inquisition Delayed is a lightweight server-side NeoForge addon for Fungal Infection: Spore and Spore Inquisition.

The addon introduces a simple "Dormant State" that prevents the infection from starting when a world is first created.

While dormant:

Spore content remains available World generation remains unchanged Structures still generate Items and recipes remain accessible Progression systems continue to function

The only difference is that infection-related entities are prevented from spawning.

Once activated through /inqdel start, both mods resume their normal behavior and continue exactly as intended by their original authors.

Inquisition Delayed does not rebalance, modify, replace or rewrite any Spore mechanics. Its sole purpose is to give modpack creators control over when the infection begins, while preserving the original gameplay experience once activated.

⚙️ Activation Controls

Commands

Command Description /inqdel status Displays whether the infection is dormant or active /inqdel start Activates the infection /inqdel stop Returns the infection to the dormant state and removes already loaded gated entities

start and stop require permission level 2.

🧬 Infection Gating

While dormant, the addon prevents targeted Spore entities from spawning through multiple NeoForge server hooks:

• Spawn placement checks
• Spawn position checks
• Finalize-spawn cancellation
• Entity join cancellation

Primary Entity Tag

#spore:fungus_entities

Additional Exposed Tag

#inq_delayed:blocked_spore_entities

This allows modpack developers to extend or override the blocked entity list if future versions of Spore modify their tags.

💾 Persistence

The infection state is stored in world data.

Every newly created world starts in the Dormant state.

🔧 Compatibility & Scope

Inquisition Delayed is intentionally minimal.

It does not:

• Change infection mechanics
• Modify progression systems
• Alter balancing
• Modify world generation
• Replace entities
• Patch gameplay behavior

The addon simply adds a dormant state and activation controls.

After activation, Fungal Infection: Spore and Spore Inquisition behave exactly as they normally would.
