Hairy Zombies
by Sweetygamer2
Hairy Zombies adds a new zombie subtype for Forge that drops string and rotten flesh, is immune to fire and sunlight, and replaces part of the regular zombie spawns.
What it does
The new zombie is a subtype that appears among the usual zombies, and it drops string and rotten flesh when it dies. Zombie farms produce string as well, so a farm built for flesh can also supply string. The zombie does not burn in sunlight, and it is not spawned naturally in the default setup; instead it appears with a set probability in place of part of the regular zombie spawns. A config file controls that probability, with 5% as the default value.
The mod is a small addition to the zombie family and is meant for players who want a different zombie in their world, on single-player or multiplayer servers. The author notes describe it as a reference to the French YouTuber FuzeIII, whose hair jokes inspired the zombie's look and special skin, and the zombie is shown in a showcase video. Files exist for 1.18.2 and 1.19.2, with 1.0.1 for 1.19.2 as the latest Forge file. Client and server share the mod, so both the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

What the author says
The new Hairy Zombies are a new zombie subtype, dropping strings and rotten flesh on death, allowing your zombies farm to produce strings too. They are also fire immune, so they won't burn in the sunlight. They don't spawn naturally, but instead have a probability to spawn instead of a regular zombie when they spawn…
