Zombies Hate Doors

by birdsprime

Zombies Hate Doors is a Fabric server-side mod that makes zombies break wooden and iron doors, so doors and redstone designs matter more in the early game.

FabricServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.16.5 – 26.2

What it does

In vanilla Minecraft, zombies chase a player but can only break down wooden doors on harder difficulties, and iron doors remain safe. This mod changes that behavior so zombies break down both wooden and iron doors, which makes a base harder to keep closed and rewards builders who plan their defenses. The mod is configurable through a config file, and it runs on the server only, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric, across 10 release versions 1.16.5 – 26.2, under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Zombies break both door types

    Zombies can break down wooden and iron doors, which removes the vanilla split between the two.

  2. Redstone-based defenses

    Because iron doors can fall, players are encouraged to use redstone to open and close doors and protect a base.

  3. Configurable behavior

    A config file lets server owners adjust how the zombie door-breaking mechanic works.
