About this Mod
Very Important! This mod is our first one made in java so there could be problems with it... The mod is open source on GitHub though.
↔ Rotted is a Minecraft mod that tends to add new zombie type creatures that look realistic with their animations, sounds and attacks! Rotted zombies have better ai than most zombies, making them weaker to fire, following and staying in group like realistic zombies, and they also will alert others if you hurt one of them and they are close to you.
↔ And if the zombies may seem to strong for you, you still have the config file to work with, playing with their health and damage!
Rotted looks beautifully with shaders and with other mods because this mod has huge compatibility with other mods even if, some of the shaders or mods may break the actual visual effect of the mobs or game effect.
