About this Mod

The Rotting World (TRW) is a (somewhat) unique infection mod, it comes into your world as a form of a craftable block, a bio-weapon.
If left uncontrolled for too long, it begins destroying your world.

DETAILS:
The infection starts in a form of a single "Dehydrated Dirt" block (craftable.)
Unless the "Liquid Life" item is used as a barrier around it, it will continue spreading, ammasing points.
At some point when it has gathered enough points, it will start naturally spawning its mobs everywhere.

It is somewhat unfair, as it is my first infection-styled mod.
