REMASTERED AND REIMAGINED VERSION IN BETA,

FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT THE NEW WIKI.

 

HAPPY EIGHT YEARS to DiseaseCraft, I've been secretly working on updating to 1.18.2--completely rewritten from scratch. With eight diseases you can contract (one for every year of this mod's existence), one you can develop, and an almost infinite number of possibilities for how to create your own diseases, this mod is back and stronger than ever. All it took was six years off and... well... you know what happened in the last two and a half years...

 

CLASSIC DISEASES INCLUDE:

  • Bronchitis
  • Cold
  • Influenza
  • Malaria
  • Pneumonia
  • Rabies
  • Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) 
  • Tetanus
  • Yellow Fever

 

SEE THE WIKI FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE DIFFERENT EFFECTS DISEASES CAN HAVE.

 

FUTURE TO-DOS:

  • Medication
  • Blood testing and the building of immune systems
  • Vaccine and treatment development
  • Integration with more scientific mods

 

Feel free to include in modpacks, although I would advise against until a stable release is uploaded and released.

 


DESCRIPTION FOR THE OLD VERSION OF THE MOD (PRE-1.18.2) CAN BE FOUND BELOW:

Hey, everyone! Mitchellbrine here, and this is my entry for ModJam 4. DiseaseCraft was a mod created in a 96 hour competition called ModJam, in which competitors create a mod/map over 96 hours. You can get more information on ModJam at the link above.


This mod received 10th in the community pick for Most Inventive. Thank you so much for supporting and enjoying the mod!
