Compound V: Gone Viral

by BlueDuckYT

Players who want a powered-versus-unpowered conflict can add the Supe Virus to Minecraft, an infection that spreads from mob to player and changes how the player fights.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

Compound V: Gone Viral adds a Supe Virus. Mobs can carry the infection, and a player who is harmed by an infected source is exposed to the Compound V system, so a non-powered player has little chance against powered opponents. Making the virus starts with a must-brew wither skull and a Nether Star as the second step, and the brewing recipe itself is configurable. Once a player has the virus, brewed Compound V can be replicated, and the resulting Viral Arrows inflict sickness at a distance.

The whole mod is configurable: server owners and players can set how much damage the virus deals, how long the infection lasts and other values, which lets a server tune how strong the powered side is. Compound V: Gone Viral is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Supe Virus infection

    Mobs can carry the Supe Virus, and players who are harmed by them can be exposed to the Compound V system.

  2. Brewing the virus

    The virus is obtained by brewing a must-brew wither skull with a Nether Star as the second step, a recipe that can be changed in the config.

  3. Viral Arrows

    Brewed Compound V can be replicated and loaded into Viral Arrows, which inflict sickness on targets at range.

  4. Configurable damage and duration

    Damage from the virus and the length of the infection can be set, so the strength of the mechanic is adjustable.

What the author says

On servers with the Compound V Mod, non-powered players don't stand much of a chance fighting against supes. This mod changes that! Compound V: Gone Viral adds the Supe Virus, which infects mobs and players and harms anyone with Compound V in their system.
