Phayriosis Parasite Infection

Phayriosis splits its infestation into several phases, and each phase raises the strength of the creatures that spawn and the speed at which they infect blocks. Early on, basic infectors and converted mobs appear in small groups. At higher phases, stronger creatures spawn more often, and the infection eventually reaches the point where it can alter the world. A command reveals the current phase, and an hourglass item lets players change it.

The parasites follow their own logic. Infectors gather in groups of four, and converted mobs in groups of one. Corpses cannot advance a phase on their own; instead they grow into nodes that hatch stronger parasites. Most nodes evolve into perennial parasites, which stay in one place and summon more creatures, and those perennials can defend themselves. Nest beacons and nest networks link these nodes, and a nucleus at the end of the chain starts slowly converting the entire world.

The mod requires Geckolib and Pehkui, and JEI is listed as a requirement as well. Crisis Contract requires Phayriosis Parasite Infection. Primordial reactors can be crafted to permanently clear sections of the infestation, and a config command can turn the phayriosis off. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 0.0.7 as the latest file. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.
