About this Mod

Starting out as a mod for Minecraft 1.5, Crafting Dead has been around for many years now. It was built on Ferullo’s Gun Mod, one of the first gun mods on the Minecraft scene and has since grown into a sizable server network constantly being enhanced with more content and features.

The mod itself adds in a multitude of zombies and guns, along with cosmetics and medical supplies. The guns are fully customisable with attachments and paints; they are competitive ready with accurate hit detection, latency compensation and recoil. Medical supplies include first aid kits, adrenaline and bandages enabling you to quickly escape, attack and recover from combat situations.

Please read the wiki before asking questions in the comments.

Check out Crafting Dead Survival which contains zombies, the RBI infection, broken leg mechanics, bleeding, supply drops and loot piles.
