Midrian - Zombie Apocalypse [Legacy]
by Midrian Mods
Midrian - Zombie Apocalypse [Legacy] changes how zombies spawn in the regular game, replacing the apocalypse mob set with a daytime variant, a runner and a dynamite carrier.
What it does
The mod turns the game's zombie apocalypse into a set of three zombie types. A daytime zombie is weaker during the day and spawns in about 70% of cases, an old daytime variant with zombie legs spawns in about 15%, and a runner zombie with faster legs spawns in about 10%. The zeeper zombie, which carries dynamite, spawns in about 5% of cases.
Installing the mod in a normal world disables natural spawning of other creatures, while entities from the mod itself are still allowed. Common entities that the mod does not touch keep appearing, and creatures from monster generators, dungeons and summon commands still spawn normally. The mod requires Geckolib, and Gamingbarn's Guns, Modern Guns and [ETF] Entity Texture Features are optional. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, with 1.3.57 as the latest file, under a Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0 license. The mod is not open source.
Key features
Three zombie variants
Daytime, runner and zeeper zombies each have a distinct look, behavior and spawn chance.
Weaker daytime zombies
The daytime zombie becomes weaker in daylight, so sunlight changes how dangerous it is.
Dynamite carrier
The zeeper zombie carries dynamite, an explosive threat that appears in a small share of spawns.
Natural spawn replacement
Other natural creatures are removed from the spawn table, so the zombie set becomes the main threat outdoors.
