Plants & Zombies
by joshxviii
Plants & Zombies brings Plants vs. Zombies plants and zombies into Minecraft, with plants that spawn in biomes and raids that send special zombies at the player.
What it does
The mod adds more than 20 mobs, along with some blocks and items, drawn from the characters and mechanics of the Plants vs. Zombies game. Plants spawn naturally in specific biomes and can be tamed and placed, with Sun as the currency that pays for them. Sun comes from sun-producing plants, and killing plants also yields a small amount of it. Plants can only be placed on valid ground or in plant pots.
Zombies follow the same theme. A small share of naturally spawned zombies appear as Leader Zombies, which carry a flag, have more health and can call reinforcements. Some special zombie types spawn under certain conditions, and a few appear only during the Zombie Raid event. Plants & Zombies is a Fabric mod for 26.1 – 26.1.2 and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and Zombie Ladder, Dead Sun and Zombie horde are the other catalog mods with similar zombie content.

How it compares
Better Zombie Leaders is a server-side only mod for 26.1 – 26.3 on Fabric and NeoForge, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Zombie Ladder is server-side only as well, but it is not open source and targets 26.1.2 on Fabric. Plants & Zombies needs both sides, so players must install it along with the server.
