Zombies More
Zombies More adds new zombie variants to Minecraft's Java Edition undead, each with its own abilities, and a set of items crafted from the materials they drop.
What it does
Crawler, Tank, Cursed Masked, Explosive and Boomer are the new zombie types. A Crawler moves fast without legs and climbs walls, a Tank is a heavily armored zombie with limited vision that gets temporarily stronger each time it takes damage, and an Explosive keeps its distance while throwing dynamite at targets. A Boomer releases a poisonous cloud when it dies, so even its death is dangerous. The Cursed Masked zombie turns into a flying head after it dies.
Defeating these zombies drops special materials: Guts, Brains, Cursed Hearts, Flammable Bones, Acid Compounds and others. Players use them to craft new equipment and potions. The mod is aimed at players who want survival to be harder, and it can be included in modpacks alongside other zombie-related mods. It requires Geckolib, and it runs on the client and the server, so both need the mod. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
