Zombies Hates Light
Zombies will try to destroy your light sources
About this Mod
Have you ever had your door broken down, thanks to a Zombie who couldn't keep their hands off it?
Now, they have found a new object of irritation, lights!
Currently they will look for the following light sources and try to get rid of them, if they can:
- minecraft:torch
- minecraft:wall_torch
- minecraft:lantern
- minecraft:shroomlight
- minecraft:redstone_lamp
- minecraft:campfire
- minecraft:beacon
The list is currently hard coded, because I have no idea on how to build a proper config system (yet)
