DeadCraft
by rejaad
DeadCraft turns bleeding into the central survival threat of a zombie apocalypse on Forge for 1.20.1.
What it does
A player who starts bleeding leaves a trail of blood splatters, and that trail draws undead mobs within a 64-block radius. Bandages stop the bleeding quickly and lower the risk of attracting nearby threats. Players can also build structures to keep the dead out, including wooden barricades that apply the bleed effect to anything that tries to run through them. The first real challenge is the Horde Moon event, when a swarm of zombies hunts the player. DeadCraft requires Enhanced Celestials, Extreme Horde Moon and Horde Moon, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it.
