# Overview<\/p>\n
**Infectionary** transforms Minecraft into a brutal zombie apocalypse survival experience inspired by survival horror games and cinematic apocalypse worlds.<\/p>\n
The world is no longer safe.<\/p>\n
Cities are abandoned. Roads stretch through ruined settlements. Supplies are limited. Zombies aren\u2019t just enemies \u2014 every hit risks infection.<\/p>\n

# Infection System<\/p>\n
## How Infection Works<\/p>\n
Whenever a zombie attacks you, there is a **15% chance** of becoming infected.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
> \u26a0\ufe0f Stage 5 is irreversible.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n

\n| **Stage 1** | Mild nausea, slight slowness | Easily treatable |
\n| **Stage 2** | Increased nausea, minor damage over time | Antidote effective |
\n| **Stage 3** | Weakness, visual distortion | Dangerous |
\n| **Stage 4** | Heavy damage over time, severe disorientation | Final chance |
