Archogenum FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get my first genes?
You need to extract genes from animals or monsters using the appropriate extraction tool or crafting recipe. Once extracted, genes are stored in a collection that you can access to create genetic fruits.
What do I do with genetic fruits?
Eat the genetic fruit to apply its genes to your body and gain the associated traits and abilities. You can eat multiple fruits to stack different genes together.
Can I remove genes after I eat a fruit?
Yes, you can use the `/archogenum gene remove` command or craft a removal item to take away specific genes from your body without losing them from your collection.
How do I give genes to my friends or pets?
You can use the `/archogenum gene give` command to transfer genes to other players, or create genetic fruits to feed to animals and farm creatures to enhance them.
Do I need to unlock genes before using them?
Yes, genes start locked in your collection. Use `/archogenum gene discover` to unlock genes so you can use them in fruits, or `/archogenum gene forget` to lock them again.
Can I change my genes whenever I want?
Yes, you can swap out genes and try new combinations at any time by eating different fruits or removing genes you no longer want.
What happens if I give a gene to an animal?
The animal gains the trait associated with that gene, making it stronger or giving it new abilities like heat resistance or increased speed.
Can I create custom genes with data packs?
Yes, the mod supports data pack customization, allowing you to add your own secret genes and traits to the mod.
Do genetic traits work in all biomes?
Genetic traits are designed to help you survive extreme environments—for example, heat resistance genes let you survive in lava-filled biomes, and undead traits make poison heal you instead.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod focuses on genetic mechanics rather than complex machines or heavy processing, so it should have minimal performance impact on most systems.
