abm991's Zombie Infection
by abm991
abm991's Zombie Infection is a Fabric mob mod that spreads a zombie virus in four stages, which players can slow with armor, a vaccine or a serum.
What it does
Players who are bitten or attacked by infected zombies move through stages of infection, starting with Stage 1 and the Zombie Virus, then Stage 2, Stage 3 and Severely Infected, before reaching Stage 4, where the player is described as out of control. The progression is the core of the mod, and it is meant to be felt over the course of play rather than in one encounter.
Protection comes from several directions. Wearing more armor reduces the effect of the virus, with full armor giving added resistance and reach increased by 80%. Players are also encouraged to avoid zombies that have already been attacked. A Zombie Virus Vaccine grants 20% virus resistance, and a Zombie Virus Serum cures the virus completely and removes the milk effect.
The mod is categorized under Mobs, with game mechanics, management and world generation tags. It runs on the client and the server together, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 for Fabric only, with 1.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest release, and it is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which is not open source.
Key features
Four infection stages
Infection moves from Stage 1 through Stage 4, each stage changing how the zombie virus affects the player.
Armor resistance
Wearing more armor lowers the impact of infection, and a full set adds resistance and extends reach by 80%.
Vaccine and serum
A vaccine grants 20% virus resistance, while a serum cures the virus completely and clears the milk effect.
Avoiding infected zombies
Players can keep clear of zombies that have already attacked, which limits how often the virus spreads to them.
