Zombie Apocalypses
by NonKungCh
Zombie Apocalypses changes the monster spawns of a Fabric world so that zombies and creepers take over the night, starting on the second in-game day.
What it does
On the first day the world spawns as usual, but from the second day on zombies start appearing in pairs, with a 90 percent chance of a pair at each natural spawn, which keeps the pressure up for the whole game. Zombies that spawn in daylight catch fire, and naturally spawned monsters are limited to zombies and creepers, so other hostile mobs no longer appear in the normal way. Monsters that do spawn at night are given more health, damage and speed, while the mod also makes them weaker at other times.
The mod is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. Each morning a chat message announces the date and a description of the current stage, and a warning appears before evening. Players receive the Luck and Night Vision effects. The code is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source. Builds exist for Fabric only, for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11.

How it compares
CrazyZombie is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.1 under All rights reserved and is not open source. Weather Shower is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and built for 1.21.5. Zombie horde is a client and server mod under the MIT License, not open source, for 1.21.11 – 26.3, so it covers builds later than this mod.

What the author says
Every morning (the first tick of the day) there will be a message showing the date + stage description in the chat. A warning message pops up the morning of the day before, then by the evening of that night, there’s another message saying "It’s here!"
