ZombiesEverywhere
by smy-oi
ZombiesEverywhere adds six zombie variants with distinct roles, an infection debuff and dynamic difficulty scaling to the vanilla zombie.
What it does
Six zombie entities are added, each with its own role. They use custom models and visual effects rendered through Geckolib, and vanilla mob attributes are left unchanged. A group of these zombies reacts together when one of them spots a player, and vanilla reinforcement is triggered across the group.
Attacks from modded zombies can inflict an infection debuff across 5 tiers. Consecutive hits raise the chance of infection, which triggers once a threshold is reached, and the chance clears after the player goes a long stretch untouched. Infection levels up over time and while the player takes extra damage, and higher levels speed up the infected. Geckolib is required on Forge and NeoForge, and AttributeFix, Curios API, Just Enough Items (JEI), Max Health Fix and Patchouli are optional. The mod is built for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.1.2.
Key features
Six zombie variants
The Common, Toxic, Swift, Burning, Undead Summoner and Elite zombies each fill a different combat role.
Infection debuff
Attacks from modded zombies can build an infection that scales across 5 tiers and speeds up the infected over time.
Ranged and summoning abilities
The Burning Zombie fires fire volleys and enhanced fireballs, while the Undead Summoner calls allied zombies during a fight.
Dynamic difficulty scaling
Zombie strength scales with the day count, so the threat rises as a world ages instead of staying at the vanilla level.
