[​CONFIGURABLE]
-Withering Presence - Visiting Withering Hills biome for too long will lead to being attacked by wicked souls of the past. They'll always spawn behind you. They're really strong when compared to their Fortress friends but are also decaying very fast - their bones are really fragile. Deacaying Wither Skeletons don't drop their skulls.
[​CONFIGURABLE]
-Spore Infection - Stepping on warped fungus without leather boots makes them explode spreading spores all around. Near Zombiefied Piglins will turn into their infected variant and player will get covered in spores that make Infected Zombiefied Piglins angry on sight. Non-infected Zombiefied Piglins will also get mad at you if they notice you being attacked by / you attacking their infected brothers and sisters. Effect wears off after 5 minutes / by entering water or powder snow.
note: Infected Zombiefied Piglins will still spawn naturally on Twisting Hollow Biome - regular zombies will not transfor into them.
[​CONFIGURABLE]
-Intelligent Skeletons - When skeleton submerges to the state where bow is useless, it withdraws its weapon and try to kill you with a wooden sword. When melee skeleton stands out of water with at least its upper half, it'll snipe you again.
