Leader Banner

by Lukiiy

Leader Banner gives leader zombies a banner to carry, so they stand out among the rest of the horde in survival fights.

What it does

Leader zombies spawn with a banner in hand, which makes them simple to pick out in a crowd. The mod is server-side in function: the server needs it, while players may add it on their own clients. Builds cover 1.21.11 – 26.2 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack version is also available. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Banner on leader zombies

    Leader zombies are equipped with a banner, so a raid leader can be spotted from a distance.

  2. Visible raid leaders

    The banner helps players tell leader zombies apart from ordinary zombies during a fight.

  3. Data pack option

    A data pack version gives the same banner behavior on servers that do not run a mod loader.
