TNew zombies
by TNew
TNew zombies changes the zombie mobs of NeoForge worlds with four new zombie types that differ in health and attack, plus two camouflaged variants that spawn in birch and spruce forests.
What it does
Standard zombies can become too weak a threat to keep encounters tense, and this mod adds four new zombie types to raise the challenge. Some variants carry slightly more health, one has a high health pool, one hits with heavy damage and ones are fast but fragile. Two of the new zombies are wrapped in birch bark or spruce bark, so they blend into trees and appear only in birch forests or spruce forests.
The mod is built for Minecraft-style zombie apocalypse worlds and adds roughly 20 zombies across four main types, with the rest being clothing variants. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files exist for NeoForge only, covering 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, with 1.0.5 for 1.21.1 as the latest file released 2026-09-18 on the beta channel. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The author tested it on 1.21.1 and on 26.1.2.
