Ripples of the Past: Recording
If you have spent any time in the JoJo-inspired side of Minecraft modding, you already know that Ripples of the Past is one of the most ambitious add-ons out there. It turns your survival world into a Stand-fueled battlefield, and now the Ripples of the Past: Recording expansion pushes that experience even further with two completely original Stands you have never seen before. Whether you are a veteran Stand user or just starting your bizarre adventure, this add-on gives you fresh tools, fresh tactics, and a whole new reason to jump back in.
What Is Ripples of the Past: Recording?
Ripples of the Past: Recording is an add-on mod built specifically for Ripples of the Past, the Minecraft mod based on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It introduces original Stand designs with unique mechanics that go well beyond simple damage numbers. The add-on is designed for Minecraft 1.16.5 and runs through the Forge loader, so it slots neatly into the same modpack you already use for RotP. If you have been searching for a way to download Ripples of the Past: Recording and expand your Stand roster, this is exactly what you need.
Ashes to Ashes: The Colony Stand
Ashes to Ashes is a Colony Stand manifested as hundreds of fragile moths coalesced from lime-grey dust. These moths siphon kinetic energy from any moving object they touch, storing the stolen momentum within their fossilized wings. While individual units lack precision, they can trigger a Strata Release — shattering their physical forms to revert back into dust while unleashing all accumulated energy as a devastating kinetic blast.
- Moth Gnaw: Commands the dust-formed moths to chew on attached entities, with damage scaling to the number of moths latched onto the target.
- Swarm Attack: Directs the swarm to surge toward a target and automatically envelope it. It can also retrieve items. The shift variation, Moth Jet, launches a concentrated stream of moths at high velocity.
- Adhesion: Affixes moths onto an entity or block to constantly siphon kinetic energy. On entities it reduces movement speed and attack power; on blocks it makes them uninteractive and unbreakable. The shift variation, Kinetic Adhesion, attaches fully-charged Amber moths ready for immediate detonation.
- Kinetic Piercing: Consumes stored energy to launch a single moth as a high-speed projectile that shatters blocks and deals heavy piercing damage.
- Bullet with Butterfly Wings: Unleashes the entire swarm in a high-speed barrage, overwhelming the target with massive kinetic impact.
The ability kit is just as deep. Swarm Shield orbits fossilized moths around you to create a kinetic-absorption field, and its shift variant, Swarm Guardian, projects that shield onto an ally. Moth Recall pulls the furthest moth back to you, while Swarm Recall brings every active moth home at once. Kinetic Detonation triggers an immediate explosion of all moths carrying kinetic energy, and Exfoliating Detonation instead bursts them into a thick dust cloud that slows entities and rapidly depletes their Oxygen Gauge. Kinetic Sensing highlights every moving entity nearby, and Stasis Barrier deploys an impassable wall of moths that you can remove with a shift variation or a Swarm Recall.
Thela Hun Ginjeet: The Artificial Stand
Thela Hun Ginjeet is an Artificial Non-Humanoid Stand that appears as a rusted, two-meter-long black metal railing spear. Once lodged within a target, it infests the vascular system with internal barbs that consume all healing effects to fuel their growth. This converts any attempted recovery into additional damage and further paralysis. The curse persists until the victim inflicts equivalent damage on another entity, causing the thorns to wither and the Stand to return to its user.
- Swift Thrust: Performs a thrusting attack with the metal railing.
- Sweep: Performs a wide sweeping attack.
- Thorn Burst: Explodes the spear inside a victim, causing fatal damage and launching fragments outward.
- Block and Recall: Blocks using the spear, or recalls it — and recalling can trigger the stabbing effect on enemies.
- Tether Pull: Grabs an entity that has been stabbed.
- Railing Dash: Pulls the user toward the spear's location for high-speed mobility and vertical jumps.
Passively, Thela Hun Ginjeet behaves like a specialized Trident, supporting both melee and thrown projectile attacks, with attack damage scaling dynamically off the Stand's Destructive Power stat. When thrown, the spear impales and remains lodged in the target. Once anchored, it initiates a parasitic growth that consumes all incoming healing — Potions, Golden Apples, regeneration, anything — to fuel its internal expansion. Every intended recovery becomes extra damage and increased paralysis, ensuring the curse remains absolute until the spear is recalled or the debt is paid.
How to Install Ripples of the Past: Recording
Getting started is straightforward. First, make sure you are running Minecraft 1.16.5 with the Forge loader installed, since this add-on depends on it. Next, confirm that the base Ripples of the Past mod is present in your mods folder — the add-on will not function without it. Then place the Ripples of the Past: Recording file into the same mods directory and launch the game. If you prefer a smoother path, the foxygame.net launcher handles the entire setup in a single click, pulling Ripples of the Past: Recording straight into a compatible profile without any manual file juggling.
Once in-game, you can test both Stands in creative mode before committing to a survival run. Ashes to Ashes rewards positioning and patience, while Thela Hun Ginjeet favors aggressive, high-mobility play. Together they cover two very different fantasies, and that variety is exactly what makes this add-on worth adding to your loadout.
Final Thoughts
Ripples of the Past: Recording for Minecraft is a compact but genuinely creative expansion. It does not just reskin existing Stands — it introduces new resource systems, new counterplay, and new ways to think about kinetic energy and healing denial. For players who have already explored everything the base mod offers, these two Stands deliver a fresh challenge. Download Ripples of the Past: Recording, install it alongside RotP on Forge for 1.16.5, and see what your Stand is truly capable of.
