Infested│寄生
by Special_TT
Infested is a Cursed server mod in which silverfish spread an Infected effect to players and mobs they already touch, lasting 60 seconds per target.
What it does
Silverfish can infest targets that are already infected, and the Infected effect lasts 60 seconds on each target it reaches. The effect clears once the timer runs out. A data pack provides the same effect through a custom enchantment named infested, which appears on an enchanted book.
The server must run the mod, while a player may leave it out and still join. Infested is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across six release versions, 1.21.5 – 1.21.11.
Key features
Infection spread
Silverfish infest targets that already carry the Infected effect, so the effect can move from one target to the next.
Timed Infected effect
The Infected effect applied to a target lasts 60 seconds before it clears on its own.
Enchanted book option
The data pack adds an infested enchantment, which an enchanted book can carry for use in play.

What the author says
The datapack achieves this effect via a custom enchantment called "infested", so if you see an enchanted book with the "frozen_armor" enchantment in your Creative Inventory, please ignore it.│該資料包透過名為"infested"的自訂附魔來實現此效果,因此如果您在創造模式物品欄中看到帶有"frozen_armor"附魔的附魔書,請忽略它。
