Mortui

A player who is killed by a zombie does not simply respawn as a player. Becoming a zombie is a simple process, and the term zombie also covers other zombified players. Mortui's zombie state changes the hotbar, so the offhand item is reduced to the mainhand item. Undead players are incapable of interacting with villagers and burn in daylight like other monsters, which means they must find another way to survive.

Food works differently for an undead player. Golden apples and rotten flesh behave as usual, but other detrimental foods give hunger status. Undead players can gain food by attacking other players and villagers. The mod also makes the undead player unable to swim, though the body still bobs in water. Curing oneself follows the same route as a zombie villager, and the weakness status effect is the counter used with a golden apple.

Mortui requires Architectury API, Cardinal Components API and Fabric API. Client rendering of effects such as zombie arms and shaders is technically required, so the mod works only where it is installed on the client. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 13 release versions, 1.18 – 1.20.4.
