About this Mod

A small datapack that just adds banner to a zombie's head when they spawn IF they have the leader zombie attribute modifier.

A vanilla-friendly attempt to indicate which zombies have had their maximum health increased, inspired by Pillagers and their ominous banners. This banner can be obtained by killing the zombie carrying it, with a 25% chance of dropping.

Feel free to change the banner's name through a resource pack by giving the lang key block.leaderbanner.banner a value, as well as change the banner design through the equip.mcfunction.
