lightning rod zombie

by Jane_1722

Lightning Rod Zombie adds a zombie variant with a copper head that heals itself by calling down lightning when its health runs low.

What it does

The zombie summons lightning to restore its health once it takes damage and drops below a set threshold, and the strike costs it a fixed slice of its maximum health. Its attack damage is a little higher than a regular zombie's, so it hits harder when it reaches the player. The mod works with the Medical System mod for NeoForge, and it is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, which means it is not open source. Files are published for NeoForge on 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.3 as the latest file from 2026-09-22.

The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod for the zombie to appear in the world, and the zombie can be met in both single-player and multiplayer games.

Key features

  1. Self-healing zombie

    The zombie calls lightning down on itself to restore its health after taking damage.

  2. Copper zombie head

    The zombie's head is made of copper, which sets it apart from the standard zombie appearance.

  3. Higher attack damage

    Its attacks deal slightly more damage than those of an ordinary zombie.
