SCP-027, The Vermin God
by Zcoper
SCP-027, The Vermin God adds an entity drawn from the SCP universe, where SCP-027 is known as the Vermin God and an infestation spreads through a single host.
What it does
The mod adds a new entity built on the SCP-027 phenomenon. The infestation is bound to one host at a time. An afflicted player becomes surrounded by swarms of insects, and the vermin keep growing more threatening as time passes, with each stage calling in more aggressive creatures. When the host dies, the curse spreads to nearby players and villagers, so the plague vermin never fully disappear.
Most mobs in the mod use special spawning conditions, so they only appear under certain circumstances. Some spawn only above Y level 60, others only below it, and most spawn only in the overworld and not in other dimensions. SCP-027 itself does not spawn naturally: instead of appearing in caves like a normal monster, players find a corpse. The mod is built with MCreator and requires Geckolib, and it runs on client and server. It is published for Forge for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, with files for 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Three-stage infestation
The infestation progresses through three stages, and each stage summons more aggressive creatures.
Spreading curse
When the host dies, the curse passes to nearby players and villagers, keeping the vermin going.
Corpse-based discovery
SCP-027 does not spawn in caves. A corpse is found instead, and it is the starting point for the infestation.
Containment room trap
The mod suggests a 3x3 room with a magma-filled hole, fire and lava to destroy vermin, and a glass pane trap above.
