Minecraftas a cat
This game already has cats. Nekogenix lets you become one.
Make a Neko Injection and start changing from human to neko, then into a cat with its own model and animations. You pick up feline abilities along the way. If the ears are enough for you, there's a way to stop before the final transformation.
And yes, you can still mine, build, wear armour and fly with elytra. We weren't about to take your inventory away just because you grew paws.
TRANSFORMATION
From human to cat
A Neko Injection starts the process. Your abilities appear gradually before your body takes its final form.
Human
Prepare the laboratory and take the injection.
Cat
Complete the transformation into a cat with its own model and animations, and manage your cat skins.
MOVEMENT AND SENSES
Feline abilities
Double-jump
Jump again in mid-air. Sprinting and sneaking also become faster.
Feline Vision
Keep seeing even in complete darkness.
Soft Paws
Paw pads reduce fall damage and save you in critical situations.
Feline Scent
As a cat, crouch for three seconds to locate creatures through walls.
Creepers fear you
Creepers keep their distance and no longer target you.
No phantoms
Phantoms no longer spawn because you have not slept.
Nine lives
In Survival, eight deaths preserve your neko or cat form. After the ninth, you become human again.
One-block passages
In cat form, walk and sprint through spaces a human would have to crawl through.
A feline diet
Raw food is as filling as cooked food. Some of it no longer poisons you at all!
Other cats
Stray cats no longer run from you.

FAQ
Was AI used? Where?
Code: AI-assistedAssets: made by the developers using Aseprite and Blockbench
AI has helped us a lot with Nekogenix's code. Does that automatically make our mod low-quality garbage? Hell NO.
We're not just throwing prompts at an LLM and sitting on our asses waiting for a finished mod. We decide HOW things work: libraries, client-server logic, networking, data persistence, events, mixins, rendering, hitboxes, and mod compatibility. We read, review, and test the whole damn code. Every asset, icon, and our logo was made by hand. We regularly discuss our ideas with experienced modders in the community and work out the best ways to implement them.
We know AI slop is everywhere, and we understand why people are sick of it. So are we. But we're putting real work into Nekogenix, and we're determined to make it not just good, but a mod we'd be genuinely proud of.
I’m having problems. What should I do?
First, check whether we already know about your problem! If not, open an issue on GitHub and describe what happened in detail. Upload your logs to https://mclo.gs/ and provide the link. This makes the problem much easier to find and greatly improves your chances of getting help.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Nekogenix needs to be installed on the server / host, as well as by every player.
How long does transformation take?
About 81 minutes, or 23 minutes with paired injections.
Can milk reverse the transformation?
No. It causes poisoning with nausea.
