How it works:

As time progresses, your character accumulates virus ticks. The infection advances through 6 distinct stages over an extended timeline, each adding severe status effects:

1. Stage I (~36.6 min): Mining Fatigue
2. Stage II (~46.6 min): Mining Fatigue + Slowness
3. Stage III (~60.0 min): Mining Fatigue + Slowness + Weakness
4. Stage IV: Increased Mining Fatigue, Slowness & Weakness levels
5. Stage V: Maximum debuffs + Poison
6. Stage VI: Terminal Stage — Severe Nausea & Blindness

⚠️ Terminal Effect (~83 min): If the virus timer reaches the final threshold without treatment, the player receives fatal damage.

Medical Monitor (Medical Monitor)

• Effect: Checks your precise infection progression percentage and prints it to chat.
• Cost & Cooldown: Consumes 0.5 hearts per use with a 10-second cooldown.
• Spawn Drop: Upon entering a fresh world, stepping 5 blocks away from your spawn point forces the monitor out of your inventory, dealing 1.5 hearts of damage.

Standard Pill (Pill)

• Effect: Significantly reduces the virus timer (by 20 minutes). Has a 3-second cooldown.
• Side Effect: Increases your Overdose level upon consecutive usage.

Buffered Pill (Buffered Pill)

• Effect: Safely reduces the virus timer by a moderate amount.
• Side Effect: None! Does not trigger or aggravate overdose status.

Neutralizer & Medicine Powder

• Neutralizer: Essential chemical component obtained rarely from mining Stone (2% single drop, 0.5% double drop).
• Medicine Powder: Primary chemical ingredient dropped from naturally generated Iron Ore (20% chance).

• Starter Chest: A chest containing 3 free Pills spawns directly under your feet upon your first spawn in a new world.
• Guaranteed Carrot: The first Zombie you kill is guaranteed to drop a carrot (if you don't already have one) to jumpstart your farming and crafting.
• World Creation Toggle: Easily enable or disable all mod mechanics directly from the Create World screen via a dedicated button.
• Creative Tab & Tooltips: All items are organized in an official dedicated Creative Tab and feature helpful hover tooltips in your inventory.

Taking standard pills too frequently builds up an Overdose status effect with escalating severity:

• Level I: Weakness (Low risk of permadeath upon dying)
• Level II: Weakness + Slowness (Moderate risk of permadeath)
• Level III: Weakness + Slowness + Severe Nausea (High risk of permadeath)
• Level IV: Fatal Overdose — Instant death resulting in Spectator mode if Permadeath is enabled.

💡 Tip: Use Buffered Pills when your overdose level is already high!

• Stone: Has a 2% chance to drop a Neutralizer (and a 0.5% chance to drop 2x Neutralizers). Can optionally replace cobblestone drops in config.
• Iron Ore: Has a 20% chance to drop Medicine Powder only when naturally generated in the world.
• Anti-Exploit Protection: Player-placed Iron Ore blocks are tracked and will never drop extra Medicine Powder when broken.

Manage player virus timers and status directly using /pfi:

• /pfi current — Check your current virus timer in ticks, minutes, and seconds.
• /pfi add <ticks> — Add or subtract virus ticks manually.
• /pfi reset — Reset virus timer and pill history back to zero.
• /pfi info — Display detailed overview of all virus stages and overdose levels in chat.

Every aspect of the mod can be fully customized in config/pills-for-illness.cfg:

• Virus Settings: Adjust stage time thresholds, reset on death, and fatal damage values.
• Overdose Settings: Enable/disable overdose, set maximum levels, durations, and death probabilities.
• Pill Settings: Change healing amounts and cooldowns for standard and buffered pills.
• Drop Settings: Tweak drop chances for Neutralizers and Medicine Powder, or toggle cobblestone removal.
• Permadeath: Enable or disable spectator-mode permadeath globally.
