Crafting Dead: Survival
by ItzAshFox
Crafting Dead: Survival extends the Crafting Dead base with a set of zombie varieties, an infection system, broken-leg and bleeding mechanics, supply drops and loot piles, all running on Forge.
What it does
The addon adds several types of zombies, along with an infection system, broken-leg mechanics and bleeding. Supply drops and loot piles give players a reason to search an area and move through it carefully. Medical supplies such as first aid kits, adrenaline and bandages help a player get out of an attack or recover from a combat situation. Golden Apple and Empty Syringe are among the items that feed into the medical side of the survival loop.
Crafting Dead: Survival requires Crafting Dead, the main mod it extends, so Crafting Dead must be installed alongside it. The addon is built for Forge and covers 1.16.5 and 1.18.2, with the latest Forge file for 1.18.2 at 1.2.0.684. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code is public.

How it compares
Night Dead Mod is a Forge mod for 1.16.5 that is server required with an optional client side, under All rights reserved and not open source. DeadCraft is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that runs on client and server, under the Apache License 2.0 and open source. Modern Damage Control is also a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with a client and server environment, under the MIT License and open source. Crafting Dead: Survival targets 1.16.5 and 1.18.2 instead, so it does not cover the 1.20.1 builds of those mods.
