About
The mod let's you slowly turn your player character into a undead looking skeleton, through eating rotten flesh or dying a few times.
General Info
Rot Mechanic
As explained in the previous heading, eating rotten flesh and dying will slowly decay the player's skin, showing a skeleton inside.
New item: Rebound Stew
If you don't wish to look like a half zombie, you can eat a REBOUND STEW. It reverses the effects and turns you back to normal player.
You can get the rebound stew, by crafting it in the crafting table.
