Zombie Onslaught
by Shaywsgu
Zombie Onslaught adds eight zombie variants to the game, each with its own abilities, for Forge on 1.18.2 and 1.19.2.
What it does
The mod changes the zombie population with eight distinct types. Crawlers are extremely slow and appear with a 10% chance after a regular zombie dies. Savage zombies are extremely fast and catch up with players quickly. Zombie Brute is rare, carries a lot of health and deals heavy knockback. Zombie Bomber has a 50% chance to explode after attacking, damaging the area around it. Frosted zombies spawn only in cold biomes and slow players with their attacks.
Other types cover ranged and hunting roles. The Oozer is a slow, sluggish zombie that shoots ooze at players, which causes poison damage. Zombie Hunter spawns in forests and can cloak itself to become invisible for a short period. Magician Zombie is the rarest type and uses a wand to fire bullets that inflict random negative effects, with arrows that teleport the player away, so a hat does not protect against the sun. Zombie Onslaught requires Geckolib, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.18.2 and 1.19.2, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

What the author says
The Zombie Onslaught mod is a mod that adds multiple unique zombies into the game, all of these zombies have their own unique quirk to them. There is a total of 8 different zombies at the moment, but I recommend suggesting your own ones to have a chance to get them in the mod
