Leader Zombies Are Larger

by pigsteel

Leader Zombies Are Larger changes the scale of Leader zombies so they stand out from the rest of the horde.

FabricNeoForgeServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1 – 26.2

What it does

The mod changes the scale attribute of Leader zombies, making them taller and bigger than standard zombies, with a hitbox that grows with the height. Their sounds are pitched deeper so they are easier to tell apart by ear. Baby zombies and other zombie variants are handled as well, including husks and drowned, since they extend the zombie class.

Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. Fabric API is required on Fabric. The mod is open source under the MIT License and publishes files for Fabric and NeoForge, with the 26.2 builds for 26.2 as the latest release.

Key features

  1. Larger Leader zombies

    Leader zombies use a larger scale value, so they read as the leader of a group at a distance.

  2. Deeper Leader sounds

    The sounds of Leader zombies are lowered in pitch to set them apart from regular zombies.

  3. Variant support

    Baby zombies, husks and drowned are adjusted along with the base zombie class.

What the author says

This mod modifies Leader Zombies' scale attribute to distinguish them; their hitbox is therefore bigger (height is shrunk to permit them to enter doorways). This applies to baby zombies as well as any downstream variants of Zombie (e.g. Husks, Drowned, or any modded entities extending Zombie). Leaders' sounds are…
