VydaX's Zombies
by VydaX
VydaX's Zombies adds three zombie variants, Zombie Crawler, Zombie Boomer and Zombie Hunter, to the mobs of NeoForge worlds.
What it does
Each variant is built from the normal zombie. The Crawler is slower, weaker and smaller than the usual zombie, while the Boomer looks much like a normal zombie but has less health and explodes when it dies. The Hunter can climb trees and leap at players like a spider, which lets it reach places an ordinary zombie cannot.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both need it for the variants to appear in play. It is published for NeoForge only, in two game versions: 1.21.1 and 1.21.4, with 1.0.1 for 1.21.4 as the latest file. The author describes it as one mod that combines these zombie types and plans to add more zombie variants in later updates. The code is not open source, and all rights are reserved by VydaX.
