Alex's Sunscreen
Alex's Sunscreen lets server owners toggle sun protection for hostile mobs, so zombies and skeletons survive daylight instead of burning.
What it does
The mod targets sun-sensitive hostile creatures such as zombies and skeletons. With the option enabled, these mobs stay alive during the day rather than catching fire on exposed ground. The option can be switched off again, which restores the usual burning behavior. Daytime exploration changes as a result, because hostile mobs remain on the surface and players meet them in new situations. It is a Fabric mod that runs on the server, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for 26.2 only, with 1.0.3 as the latest build dated 2026-08-18.

What the author says
Zombies, Skeletons, and other sun-sensitive creatures can stay alive during the day instead of burning when exposed to the sun. This adds extra challenge to daytime exploration, and creates new situations as hostile mobs can remain on the surface for much longer than usual.
