Slow Baby Zombie

by JamesLeDolphin

Slow Baby Zombie alters baby zombie movement so they keep pace with standard zombies rather than being taken out of the game.

What it does

Baby zombies normally spawn small and fast, which makes them harder to handle for players who have fought zombies before. This mod keeps them in the game but slows them down to the pace of adult zombies, so a baby zombie no longer catches a player who is running away. The changes also apply to husks, zombie villagers and zombified piglins, since they are not limited to baby zombies. Fabric API is required for the mod to load.

Key features

  1. Matching walking speed

    Because baby zombies match the pace of regular zombies, players get a fairer shot at escaping or outlasting them.

  2. Babies kept in place

    Small zombies still spawn and still act as before, so the mob is changed in speed only rather than removed.

  3. Wider mob coverage

    Husks, zombie villagers and zombified piglins that are babies receive the same speed change.

What the author says

Have you ever fought zombies? Of course you have! But have you fought the terror that is a baby zombie? Well with this mod you don't have to worry about them! Sure they're still small and they're still gonna say mean things about your house, but at least they're not as fast anymore. This mod makes baby zombies walk…
