Josiah Gibbonson Posted March 26, 2025 Report Posted March 26, 2025 (edited) When status effects or debuffs are finally implemented, the following could be some neat ones to add. (Some rework existing mechanics) each status effect/debuff will be listed first with one or more triggers, and then one or more cures. Some will have varying levels of intensity. -------------- STARVING: Gotten by: Hunger Meter tries to drop while already at 0 Effect: Block breaking speed decreased by 15%. vision sometimes shakes. Take a bit of damage every few seconds. Can eat raw meat if you have this debuff. Cured by: filling hunger meter by 20% or more. --- FOOD POISONING: Gotten by: Chance to get food poisoning after eating raw or spoiled food. Effect: Walk speed decreased by 15%. Stomach gurgle sounds here and there. Every few real-life minutes, chance to "throw up"....emptying hunger meter by a good chunk if it happens. After throwing up, take extra damage from all sources for a little while. Cured by: Either waiting it out, Throwing up, or sleeping. Be careful sleeping, it could cause you to wake up and then throw up halfway through. --- DISEASED: Gotten by: Small chance to get this debuff in a few in-game hours after being in close proximity to flies. Effect: -10% walk speed, -10% mine speed, +10% saturation drain, take 10% extra damage from all sources, and deal 10% less damage by all sources- vision is also slightly distorted. Percentages increase by 10% in the evening, then by another 10% at night, before resetting in the morning. If in close proximity to other players, they can get this debuff as well a few in-game hours after contact. Cured by: Waiting a few days. If the amount of blocks walked in a 24-hour period is below a certain amount, cures itself in much less time. Taking medicine (if it gets added) will cure disease within a few in-game hours. Once the debuff ends, it will prevent you from getting the debuff again for a full in-game month. --- HICCUPS: Gotten by: very small chance to get after drinking liquids, like beer or wine. Effect: little hiccup noises come from you every now and then. Cured by: After a few in-game hours, status effect removes itself. --- TIPSY: Gotten by: Drinking alcohol has a chance to give you this status effect. Effect: a lot of screen distortion. If you drink more alcohol while you already have this debuff, you have a chance to throw up. Walk speed is randomly increased or decreased by 15% every real-life minute. Cured by: Either waiting several in-game hours, or sleeping. ---- CHILLED Gotten by: Body temperature dropping below a certain point. Effect: Screen shiver effect. Can turn into the freezing status effect if body temperature gets lower. -15% block break speed and -5% walk speed. Cured by: increasing body temperature above a certain point. --- FREEZING: Gotten by: Body temperature drops a certain amount after getting the chilled effect. Effect: Take damage here and there. -25% walk speed, and mine speed. Take 20% more damage from all sources. If temperature isn't increased soon, can give you the frostbitten debuff every few real-life minutes. Cured by: Increasing body temperature to turn it back into the "chilled" debuff. --- FROSTBITTEN: Gotten by: Having the Freezing status effect has a chance to give you this debuff every few real life minutes. Effect: Same effect as freezing, with the added effect of taking damage every time you break a block. Cured by: Raising temperature. Use a bandage after raising temperature to cure it quicker. --- OVERHEATED: Functions the same as chilled, but for hot weather. (Character makes panting noises instead of chilled screen. Screen wobbles here and there as well) --- HEATSTROKE: Functions the same as freezing, but for hot weather. Instead of giving frostbitten it has a chance to give the burnt debuff. (Character makes panting noises instead of chilled screen. Screen wobbles here and there as well) --- BURNT: Functions the same as frostbitten, just for hot weather. You have a chance to get this debuff after catching on fire or stepping on something really really hot. --- BLEEDING: Gotten by: When below 50% HP, every bit of health lost past this point has a chance to give this debuff. Effect: drop little blood puddles here and there. (Blood puddles attract wolves) Take a tiny bit of damage every time it happens. Cured by: Using a bandage or waiting it out after HP is above 50%. --- LIMP Gotten by: When below 50% HP, every bit of health lost past this point has a chance to give this debuff. Effect: visual limp effect, -30% walk speed Cured by: using a bandage, or waiting it out once HP is above 50%. Edited March 26, 2025 by Josiah Gibbonson
