Mine Cells translates the brutal, fast-paced loop of Dead Cells into Minecraft, dropping you into hand-built dungeon dimensions packed with new mobs, weapons, and bosses. It is a content mod rather than a retexture, so every door you kick open leads somewhere new.

Step Through the Portal to Five Dungeons

Once you have acquired diamonds, the portal activates automatically and hauls you into the first of five dimension-dungeons. Each dungeon is a self-contained level with its own layout, enemies, and loot, mirroring the stage-by-stage flow of Dead Cells. Two of those dungeons hide a boss encounter at the end, so pushing deeper always carries real risk.

Meet the Mobs Pulled From Dead Cells

The new mobs are the heart of the mod and capture the cadence of the original game. Most are not yet available in survival, but you can summon them through creative spawn eggs to test the waters or build custom encounters. Expect more enemies to arrive as the mod pushes toward covering the bulk of the Dead Cells roster.

Craft New Weapons, Spells, and Decorative Blocks

Mine Cells adds a pile of new blocks to build with, some craftable at a crafting table and others locked behind its dungeon dimensions. New weapons and spells round out the kit, giving you fresh ways to fight beyond vanilla swords and bows. If you want to browse every recipe in survival, pair the mod with a recipe viewer like REI or EMI so nothing hides in the dark.

Face the Conjunctivius in Her Prison Lair

The Conjunctivius is the headline boss, lurking in a lair inside the Prison structure. She drops valuable loot, including Emeralds, Diamonds, Gold Ingots, and a generous chunk of XP, so the fight is worth the trip. The lair location and drops may shift in future updates, so treat every encounter as a chance to learn her patterns.

How to Install Mine Cells

Mine Cells runs on Fabric and Quilt only. There is no Forge port, and the developer has been clear that one is not coming, though the Sinytra Connector mod can bridge the gap if you are locked into a Forge setup. The required dependencies are small and keep the install painless.

Install the Fabric loader first, then drop Fabric API and owo-lib into your mods folder alongside the Mine Cells JAR. Patchouli is optional but recommended, since it unlocks the in-game guidebook that ships with the mod. If you have never set up a modded profile, our general install walkthrough covers the folder layout and common pitfalls. Because Fabric API is a hard dependency, it is worth understanding what it actually does before you lean on it inside a pack.

FAQ

Is Mine Cells the same as Dead Cells?

No. Mine Cells is a Minecraft mod inspired by Dead Cells, built to bring that game's dungeon-crawl feel, mobs, and weapons into Minecraft. It is a tribute, not a port of the original game.

Can I find the new mobs in survival?

Most of the mobs are still creative-only and arrive through spawn eggs. Survival spawns will expand as the mod grows, but for now you can build custom encounters in creative to test them out.

Do I need Patchouli to play?

Patchouli is optional. The mod runs without it, but installing it unlocks the in-game guidebook so you can read up on blocks, weapons, and mechanics without leaving Minecraft.

Will it work alongside my other mods?

The developer states it should be compatible with most other mods, and bugs reported against popular packs get addressed as they come up. If you hit a conflict, the source repo has an issues tracker you can use to report it.

Can I run it on Forge?

Not directly. The mod is Fabric and Quilt only, and a Forge port is off the table. The Sinytra Connector mod is the practical workaround if you need Mine Cells inside a Forge pack.
