# Chaotic Mycelium – Revenge of the Mycelium!<\/p>\n

_Turn the otherwise useless Mycelium into a menacing threat! Loosely inspired by other infection mods, this datapack tends to take a more vanilla approach._<\/p>\n

## The goal of this datapack<\/p>\n

**The main premise is to keep Players free from a spore infection to avoid its debuffs. You will be protecting your villagers and pets while setting up extra defenses to keep physical distance of infected mobs.**<\/p>\n

Some examples on how to play this datapack:
\n* Allow your player base to weaponize mobs and areas with Mycelium. How will YOU keep the infection out of your base, and your pets and villagers safe?
\n* Mycelium adds depth to horror survival and parkour games.
\n* Install-and-ignore it on your SMP server and see what happens!<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## Mycelium and You<\/p>\n

Players walking on Mycelium release its spores, which will increase the Player’s spore infection score. Jumping and landing on Mycelium conjures up even more spores than walking on it.<\/p>\n

Standing still on Mycelium stops a player’s infection score from increasing. Moving off of Mycelium will allow the Player’s infection score to actually decrease and clear over time.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## Your infection and You<\/p>\n

A player’s infection score is capped at 1800. Players will get the following debuffs at the mentioned infection score thresholds. Keep in mind that these effects stack:<\/p>\n

– **600+** \u2013 Hunger I
\n– **1200+** \u2013 Slowness II
\n– **1500+** \u2013 Poison I (also grants the **Toxic Tango** advancement!)<\/p>\n

An effect clears immediately when a Player’s infection score drops below its threshold.<\/p>\n

Be mindful that while you are infected, you can spread it to other players (and certain mobs and creatures). Once a Player’s infection score reaches 0, they are cured.<\/p>\n

## Your infection and Others<\/p>\n

Infected Players, mobs and creatures infect each other within 5 blocks. This type of infection is more potent than walking on Mycelium. The more infected are near, the faster everyone’s infection level rises.<\/p>\n

Unlike Players, infected mobs and creatures stay infected once they’re infected. However, they have a slight chance for immunity.<\/p>\n

Each newly infected mob or creature has a 1\/3 chance to become immune.<\/p>\n

Zombies and Zombie Villagers infect other zombies, zombie villagers, drowned, husks, pillagers, evokers, witches, vindicators, cats, and wolves.<\/p>\n

Drowned, husks, pillagers, evokers, witches, vindicators, cats, and wolves infect any other listed hostile mob or pet.<\/p>\n

All these mobs and creatures infect players, and vice versa.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## Keep track of the infection<\/p>\n

All infected Players, mobs and creatures have a particle effect. The stronger the effect, the higher the infection level.<\/p>\n

As soon as any player\u2019s infection score becomes greater than\u202f0, a sidebar appears showing their current infection level in real time.<\/p>\n
