About this Mod
This simple and customizable mod turns Minecraft into a zombie apocalypse while still being vanilla friendly! It feels more like a gamemode or minigame than a mod.
Features
- Zombies no longer burn in daylight
- Zombies can spawn in daylight, but at a reduced rate (25% by default)
- Block light, such as torches, will still prevent zombie spawns
- All zombies can break doors in any difficulty
- Villagers are always zombified when they're killed by a zombie
- 90% of villages are abandoned and full of zombie villagers!
Configurable
All of these features can be toggled in the config file, except the abandoned village rate, because it uses a datapack. However, you can disable the datapack on the world creation screen or use another one to override it (make sure it's higher on the list than the mod's datapack).
