The Last Of Us Survival Mechanics

Survival in this mod requires understanding the core systems that govern the world.

Infection & Evolution

Any non-infected mob (animals, villagers, players) killed by an infected has a high chance of rising as a Runner. Over time, these Runners evolve. The cycle follows: Runner → Stalker → Shambler. This ensures that the world becomes progressively more dangerous the longer a chunk remains loaded.

Noxious Gas & Spores

Certain areas and specific mobs (Shamblers/Bloaters) generate Noxious Gas.

• Effect: Inhaling gas causes the 'Noxious Gas Inhaled' effect, which damages the player and disables regeneration
• Hordes: Inhaling gas has a 1/10 chance of triggering a horde spawn, where random infected appear in a 10-block radius every 40 ticks until the effect wears off
• Protection: Wearing a Gas Mask grants the 'Fungus Protection' effect, negating all gas-related damage and effects

Stealth System

Stealth is mandatory when dealing with Clickers. Crouching reduces your noise level to zero, allowing you to bypass them. If you make noise (walking, running, jumping, or opening doors), Clickers will use echolocation to pinpoint your location.
