SCP-049, The Plague Doctor
by Zcoper
SCP-049, The Plague Doctor adds a hostile humanoid mob to the overworld, a Forge creation by Zcoper built with MCreator and requiring Geckolib.
What it does
The mob is a single instance of SCP-049 from the SCP universe, a humanoid in a medieval plague doctor mask. Once placed, it roams the overworld as a hostile monster would, and it speaks fluent English, calmly describing its duty to cure the afflicted, a cure it considers fatal to those it treats. It stays neutral until a player drops below full health and begins to suffer nausea, poison or wither effects.
Geckolib is required, so it must be installed alongside the mod on Forge. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge on 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file, under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
Key features
Touch turns victims
Anything SCP-049 touches dies instantly and rises again as a zombie, so the mob spreads its plague through the area.
Other mobs as targets
SCP-049 treats several illager, hoglin and piglin types as targets and converts them into zombies as well.
Config file
A config file is included to adjust the mod's behavior on the server.
Single instance
Only one SCP-049 exists in a world at a time, which keeps the encounter rare.
