The darkness

Quickstart

1. Obtain Pibby Glitch Goo from the Creative inventory under the Nature category, or use: /give @s com_pibby_glitch_goo_akbbggdm:my_block 1
2. Place it on the ground near an animal, mob, or villager.
3. Watch the black, animated goo spread into nearby open spaces.
4. Keep clear of the goo. Entities that step on it or stand next to it are corrupted, weakened, and damaged.
5. Break the goo to collect another Pibby Glitch Goo item. Water touching it will break it, so water can be used to clear an outbreak.

Overview

Pibby Glitch Goo is a black, glitching liquid-like block that spreads through the world and leaves behind dark animated Pibby Glitch residue. It slowly corrupts nearby entities, including animals, hostile mobs, villagers, and players.

The goo is extremely dark and gives off glitching particles. Treat every placed block as a potential source of contamination.

What It Adds

• Pibby Glitch Goo — a placeable black liquid-like block.
• Gradual spreading into adjacent air and liquid spaces.
• Corruption effects for entities that touch or approach the goo.
• Dark glitch particles and an ominous placement sound.
• A spreading hazard that can pass through short sections of solid blocks without destroying them.

How To Use

Placing the Goo

Hold Pibby Glitch Goo and place it like a normal block. When placed, it emits dark particles and plays a low, ominous sound.

The goo then spreads periodically:

• It can spread horizontally, upward, or downward.
• Downward spread is favored, so it can run into lower areas.
• It can cross a short solid wall and emerge on the other side.
• Solid blocks are not destroyed while the goo phases through them.
• A completely surrounded goo block cannot spread into a new space.

Corrupting Entities

An entity is affected when it:

• Steps directly onto the goo.
• Stands in or immediately beside the goo.
• Remains near a spreading patch.

Corruption applies wither and weakness effects, deals magic damage, and produces glitch particles around the affected entity. Repeated exposure can be fatal, including for players.

Removing the Goo

Break a goo block to remove it and receive one Pibby Glitch Goo item. It breaks very quickly when mined.

Water touching the goo breaks it, making water useful for cleaning up a contaminated area. Normal solid walls are not fully reliable barriers because the goo can phase through short walls.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft Pibby Glitch Goo at a crafting table using eight obsidian and one black dye:

The recipe is available after obtaining obsidian and black dye. Pibby Glitch Goo can also be taken directly from the Creative inventory.

Abilities And Mechanics

Progression And Strategy

• Start with one block in an enclosed testing area so the spread is easy to observe.
• Use glass or other visible structures to watch the goo move, but do not assume ordinary walls will contain it.
• Keep animals and villagers well away from active patches.
• Use water to stop or remove unwanted goo, then collect the remaining blocks by mining them.
• For experiments, place the goo below a mob enclosure and observe how contact and nearby exposure affect the inhabitants.
• In survival builds, store Pibby Glitch Goo separately from valuable areas and avoid placing it near water unless you intend to clear it.
