the dark infection parasite

New Entities & Items

• Parasitic Worm: A small, agile organism that thrives in the dark.

• Parasitic Larva: The evolved stage of the worm, specifically adapted for host infiltration.

• Infected Flesh: A new resource dropped by any mob succumb to the parasite.

Life Cycle & Infection Mechanics

The parasite follows a distinct growth cycle to spread throughout the world:

1. Growth: Over time, a Parasitic Worm will mature and evolve into a Parasitic Larva.

2. Infection: Once it reaches the larva stage, the parasite will actively seek out and infect nearby mobs, turning them into "Infected" variants.

3. Loot: All infected mobs are guaranteed to drop Infected Flesh upon death.

Spawn Rules

• Nocturnal Activity: Parasitic Worms only spawn during the night cycle. They prefer the cover of darkness to find their first hosts, making nighttime travel significantly more dangerous.

Visuals & Animations

We have overhauled the movement system to ensure the infected feel truly "wrong" and predatory:

• New Movement Sets: Added custom walking and running animations for all infected mob variants.

• Exceptions: Please note that the Infected Villager and Infected Zombie currently retain their classic animations to maintain their signature "undead" feel, though updates may come in the future.
