What it does

Zombie Apocalypse Mod is a Forge mod for game version 1.16.5 that adds hostile zombies along with weapons and armor for players to fight them with. The zombie roster includes Runner, Boomer, Hazmat and Military variants, and zombies appear both during the day and at night, which makes the mod harder than the vanilla zombie threat.

The weapon set covers a katana, a bat, a heavy hammer, a knife and a machete. The armor set includes SWAT, basketball and Russ clothing pieces. Because the mod runs on client and server, the server and every player need it installed to use these additions together.

Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Only the Forge loader is covered, with a single file, 1.0.0 for 1.16.5, released on 2025-06-16. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Zombie variants

    New zombie types include Runner, Boomer, Hazmat and Military, each with its own role during a fight.

  2. Day and night spawns

    Zombies spawn during both day and night, so the threat is present at all times rather than only after dark.

  3. Melee weapons

    A katana, a bat, a heavy hammer, a knife and a machete are added as melee weapons for players.

  4. Themed armor sets

    SWAT, basketball and Russ clothing armor pieces are added for players to wear during a fight.
