[Y] Apocalypse Zombies
by Yooli8537
[Y] Apocalypse Zombies adds a set of new zombie mobs, with three variants that each behave differently, to Fabric games on 1.21.11.
What it does
The mod introduces brand new zombies taken from the Apocalypse setting, built as part of the Y Apocalypse Modpack. Three kinds of zombie are currently included: a base zombie, a somewhat weaker take on the regular zombie that often shows up in packs, and a rusher. The rusher is small and fast, and its special move lets it close the distance to a target, though it can overshoot and run too far.
A fourth mob, the infected, carries a potent disease and can only become a zombie after its attacks succeed in spreading the infection. The author describes the mod as still in development, so more content may follow. It requires Fabric API and Geckolib on Fabric, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for game version 1.21.11, with 0.3.4-alpha as the latest file on the alpha channel, released on 2026-07-06.
