Mo' Zombies Wave
by Wilyicaro
With Mo' Zombies Wave, thirteen new zombie types join the game, each with its own behavior and drops, for players who want zombies that differ from the vanilla ones.
What it does
The mod adds thirteen zombie variants, each with its own behavior and drops. The set includes a Survivor, a Notch-themed zombie, a Herobrine-themed zombie, a Chef, a Nether variant, a Miner and a King. The Survivor mob is the one the author set out to finish.
Mo' Zombies Wave is a port of the original Mo'Zombies mod for older Minecraft versions, and the port keeps all of the original content. It was made for Minecraft 1.20 and 1.20.1, filling the need for a simpler zombie mod that changes mob behavior and drops without adding other systems.
Builds exist for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, with files for 1.20 and 1.20.1. The latest Fabric, Forge and Quilt files are all 1.20.1-0.1.0, published on 2023-07-18 on the beta channel. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is open source under the MIT License, and public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker.
