SCP-008, Zombie Plague
by Zcoper
SCP-008, Zombie Plague adds a deadly prion that spreads a zombie-like infection from a containment chamber in the overworld underground.
What it does
The mod is based on the SCP universe, where SCP-008 is known as the Zombie Plague. Chambers holding it sit below ground in the overworld, and several can exist in one world. Its anomalous effect is found in these underground rooms. Opening the metal canister releases an infectious gas, and the gas slowly infects nearby entities until they turn into zombies. Players open and close the canister by right-clicking it, and opening it carries a deadly risk. Wearing a Hazmat Suit prevents infection, while antibiotics cannot cure it.
The infection is tracked through four stages. In stage one, the effect deals a little damage and lowers the food level in small chances. Stage two adds the removal of saturation, the loss of resistance, and weakness. Stage three adds slowness and nausea, and stage four adds heavier damage and further loss of absorption, speed and haste. The mod adds a new effect given by SCP-008 to affected entities. It requires Geckolib and is published for Forge, for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1.
