Weaker Day Zombie
by Anteria_
Weaker Day Zombie makes zombies weaker during daytime, so undead handle differently when the sun is up.
What it does
During the day, zombies are slowed and can be frozen in place, and they lose attack strength. Once night comes, the effect is removed and zombies behave as normal. A command toggles whether zombies are frozen during the day or only slowed. Natural spawning and spawner spawning are handled by the mod as well. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it. Files are published for Forge only, with a single release for 1.20.6, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Daytime slowness
Zombies receive a slowness effect at level 3 during the day, which takes effect while the sun is up.
Freeze toggle command
The wdztoggle command switches between freezing zombies during the day and only slowing them down.
Night reset
When night arrives the daytime effect is removed, so zombies return to their usual behavior.
