MC: Zombified
With Zombified, zombies replace the other hostile mobs across the Overworld, Nether and End, and the zombie apocalypse takes over the world.
What it does
Zombified turns the world into a zombie apocalypse by making only zombies spawn, including in the Nether, where they take the place of other hostile mobs. Several zombie variants come with it: enhanced zombies with more health, speed II, strength II and water breathing, zombie villagers, and zombified piglins. Zombies are given 30 hearts of health, which raises the challenge of every encounter.
Survival play is the main use: the altered spawns and tougher mobs change how exploration, mining and night travel feel. The mod also adds effects such as added speed and strength and fire resistance, and a rich loot system with common drops from zombies, so fights come with rewards. Server owners who want a harder world can run the mod on their server while players keep the vanilla client.
Installation needs a supported loader. The mod is released under the MIT License, is not open source, is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and covers 1.16.5 – 1.21.5. It also ships as a data pack. The server must run it, while the client may leave it out.
Key features
Zombie-only spawns

Zombie villagers and piglins
Zombie villagers and zombified piglins are added as separate variants alongside the standard zombies.
Rich loot system
Zombies drop common loot on death, so every fight yields items for the player.

Use cases

Server challenge modes
A server can run the mod to set a shared difficulty while players join with the vanilla client.
Who it’s for: Players who want a zombie apocalypse in survival, and server owners who want a harder shared world. The mod suits Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt setups.
How it compares
Zombie Players runs on both the server and every player, is released under the MIT License, and is published for Forge 1.20.1 only. No Zombified Piglin works on either side, and neither needs it, with a server-run setup, and is released under All rights reserved across 1.13 – 1.21.11 on four loaders.
