Zombify
by caoimhe
Zombify stops villagers from dying when a zombie villager is converted back on the normal difficulty setting.
What it does
On the lower difficulty settings, a villager normally dies when a zombie villager converts it. Zombify changes this so conversion finishes without the villager being killed. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is a Fabric mod for 1.19 – 1.21.7 and is released under the MIT License, so the code is open source.
Key features
Conversion without death
Villagers survive the zombie villager conversion instead of dying during it on normal difficulty.
Difficulty-independent fix
The fix applies on the difficulties where conversion would otherwise kill the villager, leaving the rest of the game unchanged.
Server-side install
Only the server needs the mod, so clients connect without any local installation.
