About this Mod
Minecraft’s zombies have always been predictable — easy to outrun, quick to forget, and powerless against a simple door or wall. Survival was never truly challenging.
Invasive Zombies changes all that by making zombies relentless hunters who will stop at nothing to find you.
Features:
Relentless Tracking
- Once a zombie spots you, it won’t stop. Hiding won’t work—they remember your location and track you relentlessly.
Advanced Block Breaking
- Zombies can break through doors and configurable blocks to reach you.
- Breaking effects and sounds warn you they’re coming.
- Optional tool-based breaking system: zombies must use the correct tool (pickaxe, axe, or shovel) to break specific blocks.
Tool System (New in 2.0.0)
- Option to require tools for block breaking
- Configurable block lists for:
- ⛏️ Pickaxe-breakable blocks
- 🪓 Axe-breakable blocks
- 🪣 Shovel-breakable blocks
- "Always Mineable" block list for blocks that can be broken regardless of tool.
- Optional setting to equip zombies with tools automatically.
No Safe Place
- Nowhere is truly safe unless you build it to be. Your base must be well-fortified to withstand their onslaught.
Customizable Settings
- Adjust block-breaking capabilities, tool requirements, zombie speed, tracking range, and more to tailor the difficulty to your preference.
Multiplayer Support
- Compatible with multiplayer servers; however, configuration must be manually edited on the server side.
Notes:
- Zombies may occasionally break random blocks while performing FarBlockSearch.
- To access the client-side config screen, ModMenu or ModSettings and cloth-config-api must be installed for your Minecraft version.
