About this Mod

Dead Horizon

A survival-focused Minecraft mod inspired by abandoned worlds, desperate scavenging, and the feeling of exploring places where civilization has already fallen.

The goal of this mod is to create a more atmospheric zombie apocalypse experience by adding new structures, survival items, and environmental storytelling to the world.

Instead of simply spawning zombies everywhere, the mod focuses on discoverable locations, scavenging, and small details that make the world feel like it once had people living in it.


Current Features (Alpha):

• Hunter's Cabin – a small survival structure that can generate in the world
• Canned Tomatoes – simple scavenged food item
• Military Shovel (work in progress)


Planned Features:

• More abandoned structures and survivor locations
• Military camps and quarantine zones
• Scavenging loot like canned food and survival supplies
• Environmental storytelling through structures and items
• Expanded survival mechanics


This project is currently in very early development.
Expect unfinished content, missing textures, and experimental features.

The mod will grow step by step with new locations, items, and survival systems.

The world has already fallen.
Now the question is simple: how long can you survive?

Frequently Asked Questions

Dead Horizon server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Dead Horizon compatible with forge?

Server lagging with Dead Horizon – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Dead Horizon consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
