About this Modpack
Loot chests in abandoned towns, build weapons to defend yourself and fight zombies to stay alive. Will you survive?
Zombies
Zombies have received an upgrade in this modpack. When you hear the sound of one in the distance, run!
Zombies can break and place blocks, summon TNT and fire to burn down your shelters. You're never safe, as zombies can see you through the blocks. Make sure you don't even get touched by one of them, as you'll end up infected. Once infected, the only remedy is to eat a golden apple. If you don't manage to gather this in time, you'll eventually die, and your corpse will in turn be transformed into a zombie. The only way to get your stuff back is to kill it.
And much more
This modpack has a lot more to offer, including armor and all types of weapons and upgrades. I'll let you discover it for yourself. Updates may come in the future to bring you more content, but the main gameplay, i.e. the danger, remains the same.

Can I add custom mods to The Survivors without conflicts?
