Zombify Horses
by LoonLord32
Zombify Horses lets players turn horses into zombie or skeleton horses, using withering effects, potions, shearing and thunderstorms.
What it does
Horses can be changed into zombie horses with help from the wither effect: a splash potion of withering, or feeding a poisonous potato to the animal, converts it. Skeleton horses can be created by shearing a horse affected by wither during a thunderstorm. The mod is aimed at survival play, where obtaining zombie horses otherwise takes effort. Zombify Horses runs on Forge for 1.20.1 only, and only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
