VIRUS IN RED

# VIRUS

Description

VIRUS is an event plugin currently in development that introduces an infection system into Minecraft.
The virus spreads across the world, turning ordinary items and plants into sources of danger.
Players go through four stages of infection, each intensifying the symptoms and altering player behavior.

Infection Sources

Food

Players can get infected by eating contaminated or rotten food:
rotten flesh, raw chicken, raw beef, raw pork, raw mutton, raw rabbit, pufferfish, or poisonous potato.
There is a chance of infection when consuming these items.

Item Pickup

If a player picks up an infected item named “Virus”, they are immediately infected.

Containers

If a player attempts to take an infected item named “Virus” from a chest, barrel, or other container — they become infected.

Infected Blocks

A player becomes infected when stepping on an infected block recorded in blocks.db.
These blocks can further spread the virus to nearby plants and surfaces.
