Walkers
by Foyxx
Walkers changes the undead on Forge and NeoForge, replacing zombies with several new walker types that differ in strength and speed.
What it does
Zombies and villagers are removed from the default undead and replaced by new types: Fresh, Weak, Strong and Rotted walkers, plus Rotters, Biters, Variant Walkers and Zombie Pigs. Each walker gets random strength and speed, and infected players can reanimate after death. The mod adds a night stage through the game and a decaying biome.
Walkers ships its own walk, sprint, attack and death animations, and walkers do not burn in daylight. Passive mobs that live in villages and the wild can group up. Players can craft Walker Flesh Clothing and blend in with horses. Seven advancements track progress, and the mod can be completed in hardcore.
