Corrupted Land

Zombies may burn in sunlight, but their malevolent influence extends far beyond that. Decaying flesh seeps into the ground beneath it, gradually contaminating the surrounding area. This corruption knows no boundaries - stepping onto the tainted land will poison you until you leave it. Conversely, mobs heal on this soil while animals take damage.

This modification was specifically developed for MMD SpookyJam 2020.

The spread rate of corruption and its effects on mobs/animals can be configured through settings files.

NEW! PURIFIER!

A stone created by purifying corruption under sunlight, it absorbs solar energy to cleanse contaminated areas.

The purifier charges during daytime when there's direct access to the sky. Charging is possible in both main and off-hand slots, allowing simultaneous charging of two devices.

Compatibility

The mod integrates with Immortous Calyx and Paranoia. Players infected with Calyx infection above 60% now heal on corrupted land instead of taking damage. Additionally, standing on tainted soil reduces sanity (all compatibility elements are configurable).

How It Works

When rotten flesh despawns, it corrupts the block beneath it. Flesh dropped by players or dispensers doesn't have this effect - this prevents griefing.

When mining blocks, their original versions are returned, which also protects against destruction. The system operates based on data, so dropped items can be modified.

For a block to become corrupted, there must be an adjacent air block (any of the 26 surrounding blocks). Currently, standard Minecraft blocks are affected, but the list will be expanded in future updates.
