The world is filled with viruses and bacteria that are trying to kill you. The only way to survive is to craft tools and learn the symptoms so you can diagnose and treat yourself. You must gather resources and build a lab so you can incubate disease samples, make vaccines, and eradicate disease!

New Update (v 3.0):

This update completely ports the mod over to 1.18. It also fixes some crucial bugs with server compatibility and the capability system. Along with these major changes, a few minor changes have been made such as updating ore generation to fit better with 1.18, making sterilized bricks craftable via furnace, and making diseases slightly more common.

All old worlds will convert error free to this update.

Diseases:

Common Cold:

A common disease that is most often characterized by lethargy, coughing, sneezing, nasal congestion, sore throats, and muscle aches.
There is a vaccine which can be crafted by incubating disease samples from a nasal swab.

Flu:
A common disease that has two types a mild and more severe strain. The mild strain is most often characterized by Lethargy, Muscle Aches, Chills, Coughing, Nasal Congestion, Sore Throat, Headaches, and Eye Sores. The severe strain has all the mild strains symptoms with the additional symptoms of Vomiting, Shortness of Breath, and Diarrhea. The severe strain also has the chance to progress into Pneumonia.
There is a vaccine which can protect against both variants and can be crafted by incubating disease samples from a nasal swab.

Pneumonia:
An uncommon disease that results from the severe variant of the flu progressing. It also has two variants. The mild variant is characterized by Lethargy, Muscle Aches, Coughing, Chills, Sweating, Sore Throat, Loss of Appetite, Chest Pains, Headaches, Confusion, and Shortness of Breath. The severe strain is the most rare disease in the mod currently and has additional effects such as Confusion, Vomiting, and Diarrhea.
There is no vaccine for Pneumonia. The only way to prevent Pneumonia is to be vaccinated against diseases that progress to it.

Strep Throat:
A common disease that is characterized by Loss of Appetite, Sore Throat, Headaches, Sweating, Chills, Lethargy, Headaches, Muscle Aches, and Vomiting.
There is a vaccine that can be crafted by incubating disease samples from a throat swab.

COVID-19:
A common disease that is characterized by Chills, Lethargy, Coughing, Sweating, Muscle Aches, Sore Throat, Loss of Appetite, Nasal Congestion, Headache, Chest Pains, Confusion, and Vomiting.
There is a vaccine which can be crafted by incubating a disease sample from a throat swab.

Norovirus:
A disease that is characterized by Loss of Appetite, Muscle Aches, Stomach Cramps, Headaches, Fevers, Vomiting, and Diarrhea. This disease is caused by eating undercooked or unsanitary food.
There is no vaccine for this illness.

Salmonellosis:
A disease that has a wide range in severity from only mild Stomach Cramps and Loss in Appetite to potentially fatal Diarrhea, Vomiting, Fevers, Confusion, and Chest Pains. This disease is caused by eating undercooked or unsanitary food.
There is no vaccine for this illness.

Rotovirus:
A disease that is characterized by Stomach Cramps, Muscle Aches, Sweating, Fevers, Vomiting, and Diarrhea. This disease is caused by eating undercooked or unsanitary food.
There is currently no vaccine for this illness but one will be added in the next update.

Staph Infection:
While there are many different types of staph infections planned, currently there is only staph food poisoning. This is characterized by Muscle Aches, Stomach Cramps, Headaches, Diarrhea, and Vomiting.
There is no vaccine yet for this illness.

Shigella:
A disease that is characterized by Headaches, Fevers, Vomiting, and Diarrhea. Shigella is caused more commonly by eating undercooked or unsanitary food or rarely when eating cooked seafood.
There is no vaccine for this illness.

Thirst System:

Each player starts off with 100 thirst points. By running, jumping, burning, or taking damage, thirst depletion is accelerated. Thirst points are regained through being in the rain, swimming, or drinking water. By drinking water form the various different flasks in the mod or from a bottle of water, the player can increase their thirst. Be careful though! Increasing your thirst levels too high will lead to hyperhydration and even death. When water levels become too low, players will become dehydrated which will lead to many side effects and may lead to death.

Medicines:

Prontosil:
The first commercially available antibiotic, prontosil is helpful at curing staph and strep infections.

Sulfanilamide:
The second commercially available antibiotic, Sulfanilamide is slightly more expensive to make than prontosil, but also is better at curing illness and helps alleviate diarrhea.

Dried Agar:

Dried red algae is naturally found scattered in clusters on the sea floor in all ocean biomes except the arctic oceans.

Incubator Recipes:
To incubate a disease first click it with an agar plate to fill the incubator.
Then select the disease you want to incubate and click the incubator to begin.

Keep track of incubator levels using the dials. The pink dial shows the levels of Agar. The yellow dial shows how much culture is in the incubator.

1 pixel = able to extract 1 vaccine. 2 pixel = able to extract one vaccine vial.

How to use the incubator

Vaccines:

Vaccines are crafted from the incubator (see crafting recipe section for more details).

To get a vaccine, click on an incubator, incubating the disease you want the vaccine for with a syringe.

By right clicking with the vaccine the player becomes infected with the disease that the vaccine is for for 60 seconds and takes 2 hearts of damage.

After this period, the player will become immune to that disease.

Vaccine Vials:

By clicking on an incubator with a vaccine vial it will use up 4 culture. This vial will store four doses of vaccine, perfect for mass storage.

Mass Storage Container:

By crafting and placing the mass storage container, you are able to store up to 100 doses of a specific vaccine (you cannot mix multiple!).

To fill up the container, click it with a filled syringe (increases volume by 1) or a vaccine vial (increases volume by 4).

To empty the container click on it with an empty syringe or vial to extract 1 and 4 doses respectively.

The Next Update

The next update is in progress! The next update will include...

- 5 new deadly diseases.

- More lab equipment.

- Changes with the disease capability to allow for multiple diseases at once.

- Antibiotics

How To Install:
1. Download the most recent version of Minecraft Forge for 1.18. It should work on more outdated versions but I cannot make any guarantees.
2. Download the mod from the link above.
3. Put it in your mods folder. If you do not see your mods folder, you need to run Minecraft once with forge installed.
4. Enjoy the mod!
