If you die, you are a zombie.

About this Mod
If you die, you will turn into a zombie.
Being a zombie has many disadvantages, but don't worry, you can be turned back by using a weakness potion and a golden apple.
I challenge you to play through the game while being a zombie.
Features
You can play as:
-Zombie
-Drowned (when you die under water)
-Husk (when you die on sand)
Zombies only have one inventory slot with the armor and offhand slots, but you can right-click a chest to get access to the rest of the hotbar. (This can be modified in the config)
They can only gain experience through killing.
If not wearing a helmet or being a husk, zombies will burn in sunlight.
Drowns can swim and breath under water.
For zombies, healing/harming potions are inverted and the smite enchantment does additional damage.

Server lagging with Be Undead – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Be Undead consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
