Safe Infecting

by faker

Safe Infecting makes villagers that are struck by a zombie always turn into zombie villagers, with no chance of death on any difficulty.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 26.3

What it does

In vanilla Minecraft a villager hit by a zombie has only a chance to be infected, and otherwise dies. Safe Infecting removes that chance of death, so every villager struck by a zombie is converted, not only on hard difficulty. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is a Fabric mod published for 1.21 – 26.3, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Certain infection

    Every villager that a zombie attacks becomes a zombie villager, instead of sometimes dying.

  2. Difficulty independent

    The conversion applies on every difficulty, not only hard, as in vanilla.

  3. Lightweight design

    The change is limited to the infection outcome, so the rest of the villager and zombie behavior stays as in vanilla.

What the author says

In vanilla minecraft villagers have a chance of dying when being killed by a zombie instead of being infected. Only on hard difficulty is villager infection guaranteed. This lightweight mod guarantees successful villager infection on any difficulty, removing the chance of death!
