ZVIAM Modification

This modification adds a zombie virus system, treatment tools, and unique infection mechanics to the game.

Features of the Mod

This development provides a set of tools to combat zombie infection from The Hordes mod using medicinal plants from the Meds and Herbs mod.

Zombie Player - after dying with the infection effect, a zombie version of your character will appear. You will spectate from its perspective but cannot interact with the world. To control the zombie, press SHIFT to exit the body and guide its movement. Keep distance - the zombie will follow you only in a calm state when no other targets are present. These creatures are hostile to all except undead. Return to normal state is possible after being cured by another player using antiviral or vaccine, or by destroying the zombified body (by jumping from height or pressing K key).

Zombified Animals - regular animals (cows, pigs, chickens, sheep, goats, and llamas) turn into zombies if killed by virus carriers. In transformed state they no longer drop usual meat but can be restored to original form with any treatment method.

Animal Infection Settings

To activate transformations, you need to edit the configuration file infection_conversions.json:

{
    "entity": "minecraft:chicken",
    "converts_to": "zvia:zombie_chicken",
    "chance": 1.0
},
{
    "entity": "minecraft:cow",
    "converts_to": "zvia:zombie_cow",
    "chance": 1.0
},
{
    "entity": "minecraft:pig",
    "converts_to": "zvia:zombie_pig",
    "chance": 1.0
},
{
    "entity": "minecraft:sheep",
    "converts_to": "zvia:zombie_sheep",
    "chance": 1.0
},
{
    "entity": "minecraft:goat",
    "converts_to": "zvia:zombie_goat",
    "chance": 1.0
},
{
    "entity": "minecraft:llama",
    "converts_to": "zvia:zombie_llama",
    "chance": 1.0
},
{
    "entity": "minecraft:trader_llama",
    "converts_to": "zvia:zombie_llama",
    "chance": 1.0
}

Treatment Methods

Antivirals - available in two variants with different side effects: methanolic and ethanolic extracts. Both types effectively neutralize the zombie virus and cure infected entities.

Vaccine - created by culturing the virus in a healthy organism (for example, a pig). Injection is performed with a syringe containing infected blood. In the last 10 seconds before transformation (after 19 minutes 50 seconds) cultured cells can be collected with an empty tube. Particle color will change from dark red to light. After combining with ethanol, you get a vaccine that instantly cures the infection and provides one hour of immunity to viruses.
