Simple Zombie Apocalypse

by Makces

Simple Zombie Apocalypse makes zombies spawn in large numbers on the surface, at night, and even in the End dimension, through a spawn chance that the server owner can change.

What it does

Zombie spawning is the core of the mod. Zombies mostly appear at night, in dark areas, and across the surface of the world, and the amount can become very high depending on the spawn probability. The probability is set with the command zombieprobability followed by a number from 0 to 100, and the author advises against setting it too high. At the initial value of 5, the mod already produces many zombies under certain conditions, and swarms of them can attack players.

The mod is a Forge mod for 1.12.2 and 1.14.4, with the latest file 0.7.0 for 1.14.4, released on 2023-06-26 on the beta channel. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. The code is not open source, and the author keeps all rights reserved. The author notes that the mod can cause lag and a drop in server ticks per second, and recommends against running it on low-end machines.

Key features

  1. Adjustable spawn probability

    A zombieprobability command sets a value from 0 to 100 that controls how often zombies spawn.

  2. Night and dark spawning

    Zombies mostly appear at night and in dark places, which makes nights on the surface far more crowded.

  3. Swarm attacks

    Zombies gather in groups, so players can be attacked by several at once instead of single zombies.

  4. Spawns in every dimension

    Zombies can appear across the surface and even in the End dimension, not only in one biome or area.
