About this Mod

A GINOURMOUS GHOULISH MOD (how spooky) JAM-PACKED WITH A MENAGARIE OF UNDEAD FEINDS!

this mod has been in the works for a very long time, and is the first minecraft mod i have ever designed, though i am an experianced artist.
this mod is designed simply to add a host of new ghoulies into the game that fit into base minecraft and can easily fit alongside other undead themed mods (like born of chaos or undead revamped) but it does not rely on any mod for dependancies.
the spawning for these ghoulies is meant to feel natural, with most entities having unique spawning conditions.

a big part of this mod is the putrefaction system, which is a global variable ranging from 0 to 100.
it increases by 1 whenever a undead creature kills a living creature, and it decreases by 1/2 whenever a living kills an undead.

i took alot of inspiration from many different bits of media
(aneurism IV, KGATLW, the warcraft series, the thing (yes, that thing), scape and run parasites, and a host of other things im sure i'll remember later)

the sound effects are mostly made by me, but i take a couple sound effects from the videogame adaption of "the thing" teamfortressn 2, halflife 2 and some stuff i dont exactly know the origin of.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COMMENT OR JOIN MY ROTTEN DISCORD (i like the attention :3 )

Frequently Asked Questions

THEDEAD 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 4 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 THEDEAD compatible with forge?

THEDEAD officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with THEDEAD – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if THEDEAD consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
