Immortuos Calyx - Parasitic Threat in Minecraft

This mod introduces a unique infection system inspired by the Velonaceps Calyx parasite from Barotrauma. A dangerous organism gradually infects living creatures, penetrating their internal organs and causing various negative effects that under certain conditions can turn into advantages.

Infection Mechanics

Two types of infected creatures appear in the world - marine and terrestrial. Contact with them or consuming their drops can lead to infection. The parasite slowly develops inside the host, affecting their physical characteristics and behavior.

At high infection levels and player death, a zombie version of the character with preserved name and appearance may appear. The infection affects differently depending on climate: negative effects dominate in warm regions, while positive ones prevail in cold areas.

Genetic System

The mod includes an advanced genetic mechanics system allowing implantation of genes from other creatures to enhance own abilities. Rusk Co. research centers appear in villages with gene encoders and a new villager type - genetic researcher.

Genetic samples can be contaminated, adding an element of risk when using them. The gene system also allows slowing down or completely stopping the infection's progression.
