Zombie Infection
A new horror in Minecraft: when a zombie deals you a fatal blow, instead of dying, your character transforms into a zombie of the corresponding type. A regular zombie or villager zombie will turn you into a normal zombie, a husk will turn you into a husk, a drowned will turn you into a drowned.
Features of an infected player:
- Your character completely transforms into a zombie, including appearance and first-person hands
- You burn in daylight without wearing a helmet (except for husks)
- Transformation occurs underwater: husk → normal zombie → drowned
- Rotten flesh becomes a full-fledged food - no hunger effect and as nutritious as cooked steak (raw and cooked foods swap effectiveness)
- By killing uninfected players, you spread the infection
- You move significantly slower, but slightly faster than actual zombies
- Regular zombies do not attack infected players
- If you apply weakness effect and then a golden apple to an infected player, the same thing happens as when healing a zombie villager - curing the infection
This mod doesn't claim to be practical, but rather serves as a learning project for the mod developer, allowing experimentation with player modification and character renderer. Primarily, it's a way to diversify gameplay and find interesting uses for rotten flesh.
