**Illague** is an infectious [effect](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Effect) that periodically gives additional negative effects.

## Effect

If "illagueSpread" is set to true, the affected entity has a chance, every 5 second, to spread the effect to non-[undead](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Undead), non-raider and non-affected entities within 8 blocks of them. The effect will have half the duration of the original affected but still have the same effect level.

When affected, the entity emits sickly green skull particles.

The effect has a small chance of increasing its level.

If the difficulty is not on Peaceful, the effect have a chance of granting one of the 8 new negative effects randomly with the duration and level depending on the Illague's level.
