ALIT: Sunlight Zombie

Zombies in this mod gain strength when exposed to sunlight, which makes daytime a real threat rather than a safe period. Sunlight Zombies can attack ordinary zombies and, with a chance on each hit, convert them into more Sunlight Zombies. An entire zone can fill with them, and clearing it before sunrise is difficult. Players meet the threat with items: a UV Lens can burn and expose hidden undead under the sun, UV Helmets are crafted from that lens, and a Sun Lamp acts as a sunlight source that burns nearby undead and activates a Sunlight Power effect. Pure Sunlight Energy, when right-clicked on Sunlight Zombies, can convert them into an Ultra Z boss mob.

The mod also adds an instant potion called Anti-Sunlight, which forcibly tries to remove the Sunlight Potion effect from a mob. A splash of it on a Sunlight Zombie does not always remove the effect safely, because the bound mob can turn to harm the player instead of losing its power, so the potion can nearly kill the target. Players who eat Saturated Rotten Flesh take Nausea and Hunger at the same time, and Cleric Villagers sell empty syringes. Lore, potions, weapons and structures in the mod are tied to the Sunlight Zombie theme. Ruined buildings from a fallen civilization are described in the mod's lore, and wool string has its own crafting recipe.

ALIT: Sunlight Zombie is developed by Ali107 and released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. It is published for Forge only, for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and the latest file is 1.2.1 for 1.20.1. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Its items use Amethysts in recipes, which limits how far back the mod can be downgraded.
