CrombieMod
by MrBatonMC
CrombieMod is a small Fabric client mod that replaces the in-game Zombie name label with the word Crombie.
What it does
Only the player's client needs the mod: it changes the name shown above zombies from Zombie to Crombie, and the server and other players are not affected. Players can join a server running vanilla without installing it, and a server does not need to add it to work for the people who do. Installation needs Fabric Loader and Fabric API.
The changes are limited to display text. There is no gameplay effect and no measurable performance cost, because the mod replaces a label rather than adding entities or logic. The release also includes Chinese language support and some splash text that refers to Crombies being afraid. The author publishes the source code, while the license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Renamed zombie label
The name shown above zombies reads Crombie instead of Zombie, and the rest of the game is left as it was.
Chinese language support
The mod ships with Chinese language files, so the renamed label can be read by players who use that language.
Splash text
A set of splash messages in the title screen refers to Crombies being afraid of something.
