Abnormal Zombies
by Cybot08
Abnormal Zombies adds a set of zombie variants to the overworld, from a slow crawling zombie to a giant one, each with its own behavior.
What it does
The variants spawn in the overworld and are modeled on vanilla zombie behavior, with the same basic approach to players, but each type changes one thing: a crawling zombie that has lost its legs and moves slowly, a faster zombie that jumps at prey, an angry zombie, and an infested zombie that drops silverfish when it dies. Some variants are sturdier, such as the zombie brute with higher health and knockback attack strength, and the giant zombie, which is fully immune to knockback. An injured zombie panics after it attacks, and a headache zombie adds its own effect. The design takes inspiration from the Father Toast zombies in the Terraria mod community.
The mod runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge. Builds cover 1.20.1 and the 1.21.1 – 26.1 range, with 13 release versions in total. The latest Forge file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, and the latest NeoForge file is 2.0.0 for 26.1. The code is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source.
Key features
Crawling and slow zombies
A crawling zombie moves on the ground after losing its legs, and a slow weak zombie walks with a lower pace.
Fast jumping zombies
Faster variants close the distance to prey quickly and leap at them rather than walking.
Infested zombies
An infested zombie drops silverfish after death, so a fight can end with smaller hostile mobs appearing.
Brute and giant zombies
A bulkier brute has more health and knockback, while a giant zombie cannot be knocked back at all.
Panicking zombies
An injured zombie panics after attacking, changing how it behaves in the middle of a fight.
