Infectious

Apocalyptic zombie mod for Luanti. Aggressive zombies roam the world, infect mobs upon killing them, and spread the horde. Includes bosses, brutes, and blood moon integration. Works on any game — all dependencies are optional.

Zombies

• Humanoid zombie — dark, bloody player model. Fast, aggressive, attacks everything
• Zombified animals — every animalia mob has an infected variant with darkened textures and red eyes (requires animalia)
• Infection on kill — when a zombie kills a mob, it rises as a new zombie (or its zombified variant if animalia is installed)
• Night/dark spawning — spawn where light level is 7 or lower, in packs of 1-3
• Sunlight immune — don't burn in daylight once spawned
• Despawn — spawns around players, despawns at 120+ blocks

Brute

• 80 HP, 40% damage reduction, 12 damage with area sweep
• 1.5x player-sized with steel armor and amber eyes
• Not zombie-tagged — zombies will attack it, it fights back
• Can be infected — when killed by a zombie, becomes an Infected Brute (120 HP, 16 damage, zombie speed, 60% armor, 95% during blood moon)
• Rare natural spawn (1 in 15 chance instead of zombie)
• Drops steel ingots, rare brute mace (1 in 10), diamonds (requires default mod for item drops)

Brute Mace (dropped weapon)

• 10 damage, area damage on hit, 150 durability

Bosses

Bosses drop elemental tridents (requires tridents mod). They spawn naturally (rare) at any light level, and announce their presence to players within 128 blocks. Boss existence is tracked via mod storage to prevent duplication across rejoin/restart.

Boss	HP	Damage	Armor	Size	Speed	Drop
Inferno Titan	600	21	60%	4x	Very slow	Fire Trident
Storm Colossus	540	24	27.5%	4x	Normal	Lightning Trident
Void Reaper	200	27	None	1x	Very fast	Wither Trident
Life Warden	750	15	32.5%	4x	Normal	Support Trident

Inferno Titan

• Obsidian and magma skin with glowing cracks and fire eyes
• 4x player size, very slow (1.5 speed) but massive reach (7 blocks) and area damage (10 blocks)
• Fire immune — burn DOT is always cleansed
• Passive fire aura — damages all nearby entities on a timer with fire particles
• 4-phase enrage system as HP drops:

Phase	HP %	Armor	Speed	Damage	Attack Speed	Reach	AOE	Aura
1	100-76%	60%	1.5	21	1.2s	7	10	5 dmg / 5 blocks / 4s
2	75-51%	75%	1.5	21	1.2s	7	10	10 dmg / 10 blocks / 3s
3	50-26%	85%	3.0	31	0.8s	10	15	15 dmg / 15 blocks / 2s
4	25-0%	90%	4.5	47	0.53s	15	20	20 dmg / 20 blocks / 1s

• Wither immune below 75% HP
• Attacks set targets on fire with burst particles

Void Reaper

• Player-sized, black body with purple energy veins and white glowing eyes
• Moves as fast as bloodmoon-buffed zombies, attacks every 0.4 seconds
• Single target — no area damage, but applies stacking wither
• Each hit adds 1 wither stack (max 10), each stack deals 2 true damage (bypasses armor)
• Higher stacks = faster tick rate (0.5s at 1 stack, 0.05s at 10 stacks)
• Stacks reset after 3 seconds of no hits
• Spawn rate doubled at night, tripled during blood moon

Other Bosses

• Area damage (radius scales with boss size)
• No knockback — they don't flinch
• Immune to infection

Blood Moon Integration

When used with the Blood Moon mod:

• Zombie damage and speed doubled
• Spawn frequency doubled, pack size doubled
• Infected Brute gets 95% damage reduction
• Void Reaper spawn rate tripled
