Description
Ants is a full survival‑progression mod built around massive, multi‑room anthill dungeons—entrances, nurseries, larders, forge chambers, queen halls and winding tunnels—filled with themed decorations, loot chests and scaled enemy waves that culminate in intense queen fights; generated anthills are protected no‑build zones. After defeating your first queen you unlock the gene‑editing menu (open with G) to install queen pheromones for recurring combat and utility buffs, craft species‑specific ant armor and tools, and use the Ant Table UI for high‑tier progression crafts (Galaxant, Pure Galaxant, Uniant, Multiversal, Omniversal and Infinite gear), while the Antverse Expansion Codex (H) tracks pheromones, ascension relics, boss trial sigils, layered overarmor visuals and realm‑themed bonuses across the Overworld, Nether, End and twenty Antverse realms. When a queen is slain all participants are now given a 10‑second extraction delay (announced in the completion message) before being teleported to their personal respawn point (beds or other valid respawn targets), falling back to the Overworld world spawn if no personal spawn is set, so drops can still be collected.

Galaxant Antverse
Quickstart
- Find an anthill. Explorable Anthills generate naturally in your world. Look for a large mound structure on the surface — it will have a visible entrance tunnel.
- Explore and fight. Push through the dungeon rooms (entrances, nurseries, larders, forge chambers, winding tunnels) dealing with enemy waves as you go.
- Defeat the Queen. The Queen fight is at the heart of the anthill. When she dies, a 10-second extraction countdown starts — collect your drops fast! All participants are then teleported to their personal respawn point (bed or world spawn).
- Unlock Gene Editing. After your first queen kill, press G to open the Gene Editing menu and begin installing pheromones.
- Open the Codex. Press H at any time to open the Antverse Expansion Codex and track your pheromones, ascension relics, boss trial sigils, and realm progress.
- Craft early chitin gear. Each ant species drops chitin. Use it at a regular crafting table to make armor and tools immediately.
- Build an Ant Table for high-tier progression crafts once you have royal jelly from multiple queen species.
Overview
Galaxant Antverse is a full survival-progression mod centered on massive multi-room anthill dungeons filled with themed decorations, loot, and escalating enemy waves. Defeating ant queens unlocks new crafting systems, a gene-editing menu for pheromone buffs, access to the Antverse — a network of twenty themed realms beyond the Overworld, Nether, and End — and increasingly powerful tiers of ant-themed gear all the way up to Infinite-tier equipment.
Anthills are protected no-build zones, so you cannot modify them from the outside. Progress is gated behind queen kills, which reward royal jelly, chitin, cores, and relics used for every major craft in the mod.

How To Use
Exploring Anthills
Anthills are protected structures — you fight through them, not build in them. Rooms are themed (nursery, larder, forge chamber, queen hall) and each room deeper in the structure has harder enemies. Loot chests appear throughout. The queen fight is the dungeon's final encounter.
On Queen Kill: A chat message announces completion and starts a 10-second countdown. Collect drops immediately. After the countdown, all participants are teleported to their personal respawn point (bed, respawn anchor, etc.) or the Overworld world spawn if none is set.
Gene Editing Menu (G)
Open with G after defeating your first queen. Install pheromones here to activate their passive combat and utility effects. Each pheromone you craft can be slotted in for its bonus.
Ant Table
Place the Ant Table block and right-click to open its UI. This is required for Galaxant, Pure Galaxant, Uniant, Multiversal, Omniversal, and Infinite tier crafting — recipes that cannot be made on a standard crafting table.
Antverse Portal
Craft an Antverse Key, then use it to craft an Antverse Door, and place the door to create or activate an Antverse Portal. This transports you to the twenty Antverse realms, each with themed ant species, bosses, and realm bonuses tracked in the Codex.

Abilities And Mechanics
Chitin Gear
Each species' chitin armor and tools represent the basic combat tier for that biome or realm. Overworld species (forest, plains, crystal, amber, bronze) are early-game accessible. Nether species (ash, ember, basalt) require Nether access. End species (chorus, ender, void) require defeating the Ender Dragon first. Antverse realm species require passing through the Antverse Portal.
Pheromones & Gene Editing
Press G to open the Gene Editing menu. Pheromones can be slotted in here to grant passive effects:
- War Pheromone — enhances attack output in combat
- Swift Pheromone — movement speed benefit
- Builder Pheromone — utility bonus for construction
- Royal Pheromone — broad power enhancement
- Guardian Pheromone — defensive bonus
- Leech Pheromone — life steal on hit
- Alchemy Pheromone — bonus when using brewing/potions
- Voidstep Pheromone — teleportation or phase-shift utility
- Brood Pheromone — bonus related to summons or swarm mechanics
- Galaxy Pheromone — Galaxant-tier power scaling
- Omni Pheromone — universal scaling bonus
- Static Pheromone — stability and resistance
Queen pheromones installed via the gene-editing menu can also trigger recurring combat buff cycles tied to queen species.
Boss Cores & High-Tier Gear
Each of the four named bosses (Galaxant Queen, Uniant Boss, Multiversal Ant Boss, Omniversal Ant Boss) drops a unique core. These cores are the foundation of the highest-tier armor and tool sets and are used in Ant Table crafting recipes.
Overarmor Visuals
The Antverse Expansion Codex (H) tracks layered overarmor visuals. As you progress through realms and equip higher-tier gear, visual layers build up on your character representing your ascension through the Antverse.
Queen Kill & Extraction
When any queen (anthill or boss) is defeated, a completion message announces a 10-second extraction window. All players who participated must collect drops and move quickly before being forcibly teleported to their personal respawn point. If no bed or valid respawn is set, you are sent to the Overworld world spawn.
Progression And Strategy
Phase 1 — Early Anthill Runs
Explore your first anthill with diamond-tier vanilla gear or better. You are fighting waves of ants in tight corridors. Bring food, ranged weapons, and crowd-control potions. Prioritize finding forge chambers for loot before pushing to the queen hall.
Key goal: Collect chitin and royal jelly from your first queen. Note which species the anthill belongs to — this determines the chitin type and the royal jelly flavor you receive.
Phase 2 — Chitin Gear & Ant Table Unlock
Use chitin drops to craft species-specific armor and tools at a normal crafting table. Run multiple anthills across different biomes to collect jelly from Forest, Plains, Crystal, Ash, Ember, Basalt, Chorus, Void, and Ender queens. Combine these jellies to craft the Ant Table and the Antverse Key.
Phase 3 — Pheromone Installation
Open the Gene Editing menu (G) and craft pheromones using royal jelly combinations. Install the pheromones that fit your playstyle — War + Guardian for melee combat, Swift + Voidstep for mobility, Leech + Brood for sustain. Track installed pheromones in the Codex (H).
Phase 4 — Antverse Access
Craft the Antverse Door using your Antverse Key, obsidian, netherite scrap, and purple stained glass. Place it and activate the portal to enter Antverse realms. Each realm has themed ant species, unique chitin, and its own queen. Defeat realm queens to expand your chitin collection and gather high-tier royal jelly.
Phase 5 — Boss Trials & Ascension
Collect boss trial sigils (tracked in the Codex) to unlock and challenge the named bosses: the Galaxant Queen, Uniant Boss, Multiversal Ant Boss, Omniversal Ant Boss, and the secret ??? Ant Boss. Each defeated boss drops a core used to craft the corresponding boss-tier gear set at the Ant Table. Bosses scale in power — defeat them in order.
Ascension Relics (craftable from late-game royal jelly) provide realm-themed stat bonuses and are required for the absolute top tier of progression. The Omniversal Anchor Relic and [REDACTED] Static Relic are the final milestones visible in the Codex.
Tips
- Set your bed before entering an anthill — the extraction teleport sends you to your spawn point.
- Anthills are no-build zones; you cannot cheese them by tunneling.
- Bring a full pheromone loadout before tackling Antverse realm bosses — the buffs stack meaningfully.
- The Codex (H) is your primary navigation tool; check it after every queen kill to see what unlocks.
