Nekomata Zombie Apocalypse
by javicraft89
Nekomata Zombie Apocalypse turns the world into a long zombie siege, where players must manage bleeding, infection and progressively harder hordes.
What it does
The mod is a zombie survival overhaul for Forge on 1.20.1. Sharp attacks cause hemorrhaging, and bleeding players leave blood trails that make undead easier to track. A viral infection system works through bites and transforms the player slowly, weakening the body until the end. Difficulty is tied to the server, and each player gets a personal progressive horde that is measured by ten days of personal playtime, after which a Blood Moon siege scales in intensity.
Zombies are not mindless in this mod. They can climb over obstacles and reach high ground, and from day 50 they gain the ability to break blocks in order to reach their prey, so a simple wall base is no longer enough. Undead units appear with randomized tactical gear, with weapons and tools at tiers from iron up to netherite, and the gear becomes stronger as the siege goes on. Players can craft a high-tier transceiver to call an emergency airdrop and Elite NSD Soldiers, which are described as a way to turn the tide of a battle.
The mod requires TACZ Timeless Classics Zero, because the kinetic weapons and soldiers depend on it. It is client-side only, so players install it while servers do not need it. The mod is released under the MIT License, and its code is not open source. Files are published for 1.20.1 only, and the latest Forge build is 1.1.4, released on 2026-04-10.
