Nolando Zombies
by nolandooo
Nolando Zombies brings several new zombie variants into Forge worlds for 1.20.1, aimed at players who find the vanilla undead too mild.
What it does
The additions are a set of new zombie types, among them a Zombie Brute, meant to vary the undead in packs that feel repetitive. Some of the new zombies are heavier threats, and one type has a 75% chance to explode on death and may drop gunpowder instead. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it, and the single build targets 1.20.1 on Forge. The author released it under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
