How it works:

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

1. Stage I: Mining Fatigue
2. Stage II: Mining Fatigue + Slowness
3. Stage III: 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: If the virus timer reaches the final threshold without treatment, the player receives fatal damage.

Standard Pill (Pill)

• Effect: Significantly reduces the virus timer.
• 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 crafting material obtained rarely from mining Stone.
• Medicine Powder: Primary chemical ingredient dropped from naturally generated Iron Ore.

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 chance to drop Neutralizers (and can optionally replace cobblestone drops).
• Iron Ore: Drops 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.

Starting from version 1.1, 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 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.

All recipes for items, medicine ingredients, and pills can be easily viewed in-game using JEI (Just Enough Items) or by checking the official Gallery section on this mod's page!
