Mebahel's Zombie Horde

🧟 Mebahel’s Zombie Horde

A terrifying survival mechanic where the undead come in waves.
Every few minutes, a horde appears and marches to a random location… and if just one sees you — they all attack.

With enhanced AI and full configurability, these zombies will break glass, fences, and swarm your base in numbers.

🧬 Horde Composition Example (v1.0.5+)

{
  "hordeCompositions": [
    {
      "weight": 1,
      "dimensions": [
        "minecraft:overworld"
      ],
      "mobTypes": [
        {
          "id": "minecraft:zombie",
          "weight": 40,
          "spawnWithWeaponProbability": 0.25,
          "weapons": [
            {
              "itemId": "minecraft:iron_sword",
              "chance": 0.5
            },
            {
              "itemId": "minecraft:stone_sword",
              "chance": 0.3
            },
            {
              "itemId": "minecraft:wooden_sword",
              "chance": 0.2
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

- the more the weight is the more probability to be chosen
- spawnWithWeaponProbability (v1.0.13+) set the chance of the entity to be equipped with a weapon (between 0.0 and 1.0)
- total weapon chance should be 1.0
