Dead Horizon
by JONI111236
Dead Horizon, a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1, adds a zombie apocalypse survival layer built on discoverable locations and scavenged food.
What it does
Instead of spawning zombies everywhere, the mod focuses on places to find and small details to scavenge, so the world feels like people once lived in it. Structures such as a Military Camp, an abandoned military facility and a Church give players sites to explore, and a simple scavenged food item adds to the survival loop. Environmental storytelling runs through the items and locations. The server and every player need the mod installed. Builds exist for 1.20.1 only, on Forge and NeoForge, released under the MIT License and not open source.
