About this Mod
Noches Muertas
Noches Muertas is a progressive zombie survival mod for Minecraft 1.20.1, built for Forge and tested working on NeoForge.
The world starts familiar, but the infection grows day by day. Zombies become stronger, special infected appear, hordes pressure your base, blood moon events punish noise, and survival becomes a race to research, fortify, adapt, and push deeper into the outbreak.
