Noches Muertas
by NeuroStudios
Noches Muertas is a Forge survival mod for 1.20.1 in which the infection grows day by day, so each night brings stronger zombies and special infected.
What it does
The world starts familiar, and the overworld survival phase is already playable. Difficulty rises with every day: zombies become stronger, special infected variants appear, and hordes press on a base. Blood Moon events, assaults and a Day 100 Total Outbreak mark the escalation, and the Nether phase is still in development.
Players gain protection through medical items, natural remedies and survival consumables, and they can be contaminated by the infection systems. A research table opens cellular progression and upgrades, while improvised melee weapons, firearms and ammunition come with drawbacks. Gunfire attracts infected, so noise becomes a risk to weigh.
Noches Muertas runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files target Forge only, with the latest build 6.4.2 for 1.20.1 on the beta channel. The mod is in public beta and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
