Echoes of Infection

Players begin as humans. After a player dies, they return as an infected player with negative effects. Eating a golden apple cures the infection. An admin picks one of three game modes, and each mode changes the difficulty rules: Fast, Normal and Long. In Fast mode, the inventory is kept, respawns are instant, and the infected debuffs cannot be cured. In Normal mode, the inventory is kept, respawns are normal, the infected effects are slower, and curing works. In Long mode, the inventory is lost, respawns are normal, the infected effects are slower, and curing works, with reduced health and mining fatigue.

Echoes of Infection runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, for game versions 1.20 – 1.21.4, and the code is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
