Fungal Footing
by Mrbysco
Fungal Footing is a NeoForge mod that adds a fungal infection which players can catch by standing on mycelium.
What it does
Standing on mycelium gives a player a chance to become infected. An infected player loses health over time, in a way similar to the poison effect, and can pass the infection on to other players nearby. The mod is a joke idea suggested by TelepathicGrunt, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge only, for game version 26.1.2, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Mycelium infection
Walking on mycelium carries a chance of catching the fungal infection, so the ground itself becomes a hazard.
Poison-like health loss
An infected player slowly loses health, similar to the poison effect, until the infection is cured.
Spreading infection
Infected players can spread the infection to others, so anyone near them may need to keep their distance.
