Just Barricades
by Tejty
With Just Barricades, zombies have to break through wooden barriers before they reach a base, and players repair them by hand.
What it does
The mod adds breakable barricade blocks in wood variants, which slow down zombies in a zombie apocalypse base. Mobs' pathfinding tries to route through barricades, and zombies can destroy them; the destruction behavior is configurable. A barricade is repaired by right-clicking it, and that can also be turned off in the config. Repairing a broken barricade requires a stick, which is dropped when a barricade breaks, and the requirement can be changed as well.
The mod is meant to be played with the TaCZ mod, with a zombie apocalypse type modpack, though it can be used with anything else. The Forge file is for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Cloth Config API is optional and recommended for editing the config through a screen. It is released under the MIT License and is open source; the source code and issue tracker are public, so bugs can be reported there.
