Toxic Creaking
by foxinerd
Toxic Creaking changes how Creaking mobs attack, adding a Resin Poisoning debuff that lowers maximum health in steps.
What it does
Creakings still deal their vanilla damage values. Each time a Creaking hits a player, the player receives Resin Poisoning, a debuff that lasts 2 minutes and reduces maximum health by one heart per level. If another hit lands while the effect is active, the duration resets and the level rises by one, lowering maximum health further. Holding the Absorption effect blocks Resin Poisoning from applying.
The mod also adds potions built around the debuff. A Resin Clump can be added to an Awkward Potion to make a Potion of Creaking, and fermented spider eyes turn a Potion of Vitality into a corrupting brew instead of a purifying one. Potions of Vitality grant a brief strong Regeneration effect that fills newly gained hearts without draining the hunger bar. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, and the MIT License covers the code, which is open source.
Key features
Resin Poisoning debuff
A stacking effect that lasts 2 minutes and lowers maximum health by one heart per level, applied by Creaking hits.
Level escalation
Each new hit while the effect is active resets its timer and raises the level by one, with the reduction growing accordingly.
Absorption protection
Having the Absorption effect active prevents Resin Poisoning from being applied at all.
Resin-based potions
Adding a Resin Clump to an Awkward Potion creates a Potion of Creaking, and fermented spider eyes corrupt a Potion of Vitality.
Health Boost and Vitality potions
Potions of Vitality grant a short, strong Regeneration effect that fills newly gained hearts without costing hunger.

What the author says
(This is my first published mod. I've done some practice behind the scenes for a couple months, making a big ol' overhaul mod of sorts, and I decided to make one of my favorite features of it a standalone.) Do you wish Creakings had a bit more bite to their attacks, while still adhereing to Vanilla-adjacent…
