🔄 How Diseases Spread

⚔️ Combat Transmission

Fighting infected mobs or players is a common way to get sick.

  • Zombies and infected mobs carry diseases
  • PvP with infected players can spread infection
  • Higher risk in close combat situations

👥 Player Proximity

Being near infected players can cause airborne transmission.

  • Standing close to sick players increases risk
  • Enclosed spaces make it worse
  • Use protective gear when helping others

🌍 Environmental Factors

Some biomes and conditions increase infection chances.

  • Swamp biomes may have higher disease rates
  • Dark, damp areas are more dangerous
  • Weather conditions can affect spread

⏰ Disease Progression

Untreated diseases get worse over time.

  • Symptoms worsen if not treated
  • Can become contagious to others
  • Early treatment is always better!
