About this Mod

### Русское описание:

🧟‍♂️ Zombies Improved — мод, который делает зомби реальной угрозой!
Теперь они ломают любые деревянные двери, объединяются в орды, подбирают и используют экипировку, боятся солнца и ищут укрытия.
Зомби (и зомби-жители) могут заразить игрока вирусом: сначала тошнота, затем слепота, а потом — превращение в зомби!
Если зомби или зомби-житель убивает игрока, он всегда возвращается в виде зомби с его снаряжением!

🦠 Спастись от инфекции можно только золотым или зачарованным яблоком.

⚙️ Есть конфиг!
Все основные параметры настраиваются в файле zombies_improved-common.toml:

  • firstStageSeconds — длительность первой стадии (тошнота),
  • secondStageSeconds — длительность второй стадии (слепота + тошнота),
  • infectionChance — шанс заразить при ударе зомби (0.0–1.0),
  • spawnZombieOnKill — превращать ли игрока в зомби после смерти от зомби.

### English description:

🧟‍♂️ Zombies Improved brings true zombie danger to Minecraft!
Zombies break all wooden doors (but not iron), group up as hordes, pick up and use loot, fear sunlight, and seek shelter.
Zombies (and zombie villagers) can infect players: first nausea, then blindness, then full zombification!
If a zombie or zombie villager kills a player, they will always return as a zombie with all their gear!

🦠 Only a golden or enchanted apple can save you from infection.

⚙️ Fully configurable!
Main features can be adjusted in zombies_improved-common.toml:

  • firstStageSeconds — first stage duration (nausea),
  • secondStageSeconds — second stage duration (blindness + nausea),
  • infectionChance — infection chance on hit (0.0–1.0),
  • spawnZombieOnKill — always turn killed players into zombies.
