Rhyme PVZ

by CoffeeBean

Rhyme PVZ brings a Plants vs. Zombies style of defense to Minecraft, where players grow plants, craft plant cards and fight off zombie waves.

ForgeClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.20.1

What it does

Players collect sunlight and spend it on plant cards, which are crafted into plants that defend against zombies. The Light Extraction Platform is a production station that turns collected energy into solid sunlight, and a Card Upgrade Table improves existing cards. Higher-level cards carry better stat values, which makes waves easier to hold as a world grows more dangerous.

Crazy Dave, a trader from the Plants vs. Zombies 2 series, appears somewhere in the world. Players can find him and spend money on goods he sells. The mod requires Geckolib, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes the code open source.

Key features

    Plant cards are crafted from collected materials and consume sunlight when a plant is placed in the world.

  2. Solid sunlight production

    The Light Extraction Platform turns energy into solid sunlight that feeds the card system.

  3. Card upgrade table

    An upgrade table advances cards to higher levels with stronger stat values.

  4. Crazy Dave trader

    Crazy Dave appears in the world and sells goods that players buy with money earned in play.
