by VitureRain

Zombified Illagers turns pillagers, vindicators, evokers and witches into undead variants, and it extends the same zombification to villagers and horses.

What it does

Zombification is applied through a potion, a tipped arrow or infection from zombie-type attackers. A mob that is hit by the effect is transformed into a zombie form, and the transformation keeps important data such as tamed status. Players cannot be transformed into zombies; instead, a player who receives the effect gets Hunger for 30 seconds.

Conversion depends on the game difficulty, and the system can also happen naturally during combat, including raids. A raider converted during a raid is removed from the active raid, so the raid count does not change. Brewing uses standard Minecraft methods, and the potion can be converted into splash, lingering and tipped-arrow versions.

Zombified Illagers runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1. The code is covered by the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Zombified illagers

    Pillagers, vindicators, evokers and witches become zombified versions when killed by zombie-type mobs or converted by the effect.

  2. Villagers and horses

    Villagers and horses can be corrupted into zombie forms, and piglins can be affected by the same system.

  3. Zombification potion

    A zombification potion can be brewed in two ways and converted into splash, lingering and tipped-arrow versions.

  4. Twisted totem

    Illagers can wield a twisted Totem of Undying, which combines the totem's benefits with dangerous side effects.
