Deadly Zombies
Deadly Zombies makes zombies in Minecraft tougher and changes how long they survive in daylight, for Forge 1.18.2.
What it does
Zombies in the mod are described by its author as stronger, and they keep burning in sunlight for longer before they die. A villager that dies can rise back as a zombie, adding a new source of undead in villages. The author frames the mod as a harder challenge for players who want to survive longer against the undead. Deadly Zombies runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.18.2, with 0.2.0-1.18.2 as the latest file, in the beta channel.
Key features

Zombies are given increased strength, making fights with them more demanding than in vanilla.
Extended sunlight burning
Zombies remain exposed to daylight for a longer period before they die from it.
Villagers become zombies
A villager that dies is converted into a zombie instead of leaving the village population unchanged.
