Zombie Entities
by optimus1love
Zombie Entities lets a command spawn between 1 and 5000 zombies at once, a Forge option for the Magic and Mobs categories on 1.12.2.
What it does
A single command spawns a chosen number of zombies in one action, with an amount from 1 up to 5000. Spawning is instant, so a large batch appears together rather than over time. The author recommends switching to night mode in the map settings before spawning, to ensure zombies behave correctly once they are placed.
Large batches can cause lag and crashes, and the author warns that spawning more than about 1500 zombies carries that risk. Closing browsers and other heavy applications before running the command is advised for smoother performance. The jar goes only in the mods folder. The mod is published for Forge 1.12.2 and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is under the Apache License 2.0, which does not make it open source.
Key features

One command places a chosen number of zombies, from 1 up to 5000, in a single action.
Instant placement

Night mode recommendation

Use cases
Testing zombie fights
Server owners and map makers can place a crowd of zombies to test defenses or arena layouts.
Adventure maps
Map builders can populate a scene with a set number of undead for a planned encounter.
Who it’s for: Server owners, map makers and players on 1.12.2 who want to place many zombies on demand. Because the spawn count can reach 5000, it suits controlled tests more than normal play, and high counts need a capable machine.
