[1.8-1.15]Minecraft Infected (MCI) is based off of Call of Duty’s Infected mode. Players have one minute to hide before a virus spreads, turning a few unlucky players into zombies. These zombies must infect (by killing) all humans before the time runs out. If zombies infect all humans, they win! But if they fail, all surviving humans win! Level up by earning cookies (yum!) to start with better gear and survive the infection for even longer.
