Zombie Waves

Starting on Day 5, invasion waves begin at night and attack the player for five days. Zombies emerge from groups in directions surrounding the base, so the player has to defend every side rather than one approach. Each wave grows harder than the last, and special Miner Zombies can break through walls and other obstacles that would stop ordinary mobs.

Mobs pursue the player and spawn at random points around them rather than staying in one area, which keeps attacks less predictable. Block breaking uses cracking animations and realistic mining speeds. Gear and armor scale with the current wave, which pushes players to build stronger defenses and gather better equipment before the next night. The mod is published for Forge only, across six game versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, under All rights reserved, and it is server-side only, so players join without installing anything.
