Usefull Rotten Flesh Mod
by Antara89
Usefull Rotten Flesh changes rotten flesh from a junk drop into a usable item: a player smears one piece to gain the Stench effect for four minutes.
What it does
Rotten flesh is normally a food item of little use, but this Fabric mod gives it a tactical role. Holding it in the left hand and triggering a custom smearing action consumes one piece, plays a first-person or third-person smear animation, and grants the Stench status effect. While Stench is active, hostile mobs such as creepers, skeletons, angry wolves and witches within range are calmed, which makes nearby threats easier to handle.
Stench also adds a close-range pressure aura that drains air for nearby players, including the player who applied it, by up to five bubbles. Players who stay close recover once they move away.
The mod requires Fabric API. It runs on the client and the server, so both need it, and it is published for Fabric only, across 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The code is under the MIT License and the project is not open source.
