Nether Zombies
Nether Zombies adds five new zombie types that spawn in the Nether, each with its own behavior and appearance.
What it does
The mod adds five zombie variants that appear in the Nether and fight players as they move through its depths. Each variant uses custom AI, so the zombies act differently from the vanilla zombie and from one another. A custom creative tab gathers the new mobs and their spawn eggs in one place, so builders and testers can reach them without commands.
Nether Zombies is published for Forge and NeoForge across seven release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The author's notes mention a fix that is not described in detail. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved. Public issues can be reported through its issue tracker.
