The Floo
by CAS_ual_TY
The Floo is a Forge food-and-potion mod that adds an infectious potion effect spread between living beings nearby.
What it does
The mod adds a potion effect that is infectious and produces mild symptoms. Once a creature carries it, the effect can pass to nearby living beings within a small radius. The effect lowers maximum health by 10 percent, and it stays active for about 4.6 hours, or 276 minutes, before wearing off. Its incubation period is long, so the spread can go unnoticed for a while.
The author describes the effect as having been noticed during testing, when a bat in a test world became infected by accident and passed it to other animals around the spawn area. The effect was originally meant to be a minor item, but it grew into a chain of infections across many animals. Players who wait out the effect build up an immunity against it, which the author notes as part of its design.
The mod is an experimental food-themed addition with a cursed flavor. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1, and the source code is under the MIT License.

What the author says
It really turned out highly infectious! In the testing world I accidentally infected an actual bat with it which just flew around in the spawn area, infecting many more animals, which also infected many more etc..
