Pale

by CursedFlames

Pale changes what rotten flesh does to a player, replacing its hunger effect with a sunlight-damage status effect.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 26.1

What it does

Eating rotten flesh applies the Pale status effect, which causes damage from sunlight instead of the usual hunger. Eating it more often before the effect fades raises its level, and higher levels deal damage at a faster rate. Biomes without rain, such as deserts, inflict double sunlight damage. Pale is a port of an effect from the Iridescent mod. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and Pale runs on client and server under the MIT License, published for 1.21 – 26.1.

Key features

  1. Sunlight damage

    The Pale effect hurts the player in sunlight, so exposure to the sun becomes the cost of the food.

  2. Stacking levels

    Eating rotten flesh again before the effect ends raises the level, and higher levels deal damage faster.

  3. Dry biome penalty

    Biomes without rain, such as deserts, inflict double sunlight damage from the Pale effect.

What the author says

Simple mod that makes rotten flesh inflict Pale, a status effect that causes damage in sunlight, instead of Hunger. On 1.21.1 and earlier, eating more rotten flesh at once will inflict higher levels of Pale, inflicting damage at a faster rate.
