Mebahel's Zombie Horde

🧟 Mebahel’s Zombie Horde

Mebahel’s Zombie Horde introduces a survival-focused horde system where the undead attack in coordinated waves.
At regular intervals, a zombie horde spawns and moves toward a random location. If even a single member detects a player, the entire group becomes hostile and attacks together.

With enhanced AI behavior and extensive configuration options, hordes are capable of breaking through glass, fences, and defenses, forcing players to adapt their bases, preparation, and survival strategies.

After a player visits the Nether, future hordes become increasingly dangerous.
