Sculk Sickness
A forbidden sickness is growing in the deep dark, stay away or face the consequences...
Sculk Sickness adds a very configurable sickness effect to Minecraft.
How it Works
-
Sculk blossoms are a new block added in Sculk Sickness, essentially being the catalyst for the infection. They have 4 growth states, the last being the one before it spews its spores.
-
After becoming too close in contact when the blossom is spewing its spores or otherwise breaking the blossom you will become infected. There are 5 configurable stages with their own symptoms. Any mob can be infected unless it is a sculk entity.
-
To become uninfected you will have to journey and create the Ambrosia Herb. Once it is obtained, simply eat it to be cured.
-
If you are unable to be cured and die with the effect, your corpse will spread sculk and create a new blossom, thus repeating the cycle.
Although not directly compatible with every sculk mod, it can be configured to be so with modifying this mod's tags & config.
