Sculk Echo

New

• Infected mobs: Infected Zombie, Infected Skeleton and Infected Pig — sculk-corrupted variants with hand-painted textures. They glow as teal silhouettes in echo-vision.
• The Epidemic: any damage dealt by an infected mob (melee OR arrows) has a 15% chance to convert the victim into its infected counterpart. Species is preserved: a pig rises as a sculk-pig, a skeleton as a sculk-skeleton. Species without an infected form yet (cow, chicken, creeper…) are not converted.
• Infected mobs hunt every living entity except their own kind, never despawn by distance and survive on Peaceful difficulty. The infection is patient.
• Natural conversion: in the Deep Dark, vanilla zombies near a player may spontaneously turn into infected ones in a burst of sculk souls. The city is waking up.
• Immunity command: /sculkecho immunity [on|off] — freezes infection gain and stops the Shadow from possessing you. For builders, testers and the faint of heart.

Fixes

• Fixed a crash when an Infected Pig performed a melee attack (missing attack_damage attribute).
• Echo Stimulator now renders as an item (placeholder texture, final art coming).
• Added missing entity and item translations (EN / RU).
• Infected mobs no longer vanish on Peaceful difficulty or when the player walks away.

Known issues & roadmap

• Echo Stimulator uses a placeholder texture (vanilla echo shard).
• Next betas: infected creeper (sculk-cloud explosion with AoE conversion), more infected species, HUD indicators (infection bar, Echo Shot cooldown), gradual blindness progressing over in-game days.

The sculk does not kill. The sculk recruits.
