Alive | Life & Death
With Alive | Life & Death installed, living creatures can fall ill, and the illness can spread from one entity to another across a population.
What it does
Diseases spread between living entities. Several primary infection routes are included, among them touching undead mobs, eating rotting food items that are normally inedible, and half drowning. An infection can progress until a creature becomes terminally ill, and diseases can carry different effects that change and combine as they spread through a general population. Breedable entities can also become unwilling to breed while they are infected.
The mod belongs to the Alive Modding Ecosystem and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 21 release versions, 1.19.4 – 26.3, and the code is all rights reserved, not open source. The complementary Alive Enhanced Survival mod is the option for players who want the full experience.
