Mebahel's Zombie Horde
by Mebahel
Mebahel's Zombie Horde changes how zombies spawn and move, so that they arrive as coordinated groups that travel toward a shared destination rather than as lone mobs.
What it does
Recurring survival events bring undead together in groups. Zombies spawn in groups and move toward a common destination, and one member that spots a player alerts the whole horde. Horde members can break glass and fences when that option is enabled, so a base is not protected by a simple wall. Compositions shift with the biome, drawing on different mobs and equipment pools, and can include entities from other mods. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 7 release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.3, under All rights reserved.
Difficulty grows with the world. Visiting the Nether permanently makes future hordes more dangerous, and rarer groups carry weapons and armor while ordinary hordes remain the more frequent encounter. Surface hordes check for solid ground and open sky before they spawn.
Key features
Coordinated hordes
Zombies spawn in groups and move together toward a shared destination instead of wandering as unrelated mobs.
Shared awareness
When one zombie spots a player, the alert spreads to the entire horde, which then reacts as a single threat.
Destructive AI
Horde members can break through glass and fences when the option is enabled, so defenses are tested, not only avoided.
Biome-aware compositions
Each biome draws on its own mobs and equipment pools, so the same horde looks different across the world.
Progressive difficulty
Visiting the Nether raises the danger of all future hordes, so the threat keeps pace with the player's progress.
Rare elite hordes
Some groups carry weapons and armor, while ordinary hordes stay the more common encounter.
