Overview

Infectionary transforms Minecraft into a brutal zombie apocalypse survival experience inspired by survival horror games and cinematic apocalypse worlds.

The world is no longer safe.

Cities are abandoned. Roads stretch through ruined settlements. Supplies are limited. Zombies aren’t just enemies — every hit risks infection.

Manage your stamina, thirst, injuries, and infection while scavenging through handcrafted abandoned structures and surviving against the collapse of civilization.

Infection System

How Infection Works

Whenever a zombie attacks you, there is a 15% chance of becoming infected.

Infection progresses through 5 stages, each becoming more dangerous over time. If the infection reaches Stage 5, the player dies and reanimates as a zombie.

⚠️ Stage 5 is irreversible.

Infection Stages

Stage	Symptoms	Status
Stage 1	Mild nausea, slight slowness	Easily treatable
Stage 2	Increased nausea, minor damage over time	Antidote effective
Stage 3	Weakness, visual distortion	Dangerous
Stage 4	Heavy damage over time, severe disorientation	Final chance
Stage 5	☠️ Death & zombification	No cure

Infection Treatment

Item	Effect
Antidote	Completely cures infection up to Stage 4
Suppressant	Pauses infection progression for 2 minutes
Painkiller	Temporary resistance effect

Survival Systems

❤️ Manual Healing

Natural regeneration has been completely disabled.

You must rely on crafted medical supplies to survive injuries.

🏃 Stamina System

Stamina controls your ability to:

Sprint
Fight effectively
Perform exhausting actions

Running out of stamina can leave you vulnerable during combat or escapes.

💧 Thirst System

Hydration is essential.

Keep water supplies stocked or risk dehydration penalties.

Purified water is safe — future updates may introduce contaminated water systems.
