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. *** ## 📦 Requirements ### 🔥 Required for Forge / NeoForge users (via Sinytra) * [Sinytra Connector](https://modrinth.com/mod/connector) * [Forgified Fabric API](https://modrinth.com/mod/forgified-fabric-api) ### 🧵 Required for Fabric users * [Fabric API](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api) *** ## ⭐ Key Features ⏱ **Timed Zombie Horde Events** Hordes spawn at regular intervals and walk to random areas. 👀 **Group Awareness** If one zombie spots you, the whole horde attacks. 🧠 **Barrier-Breaking AI** Zombies smash through **glass** and **fences** to reach their prey. 🧪 **Modded Entity Support** Create custom horde compositions using mobs from other mods. 🔥 **Nether Increases Difficulty** Once a player visits the Nether, hordes become stronger. ⚙️ **Fully Configurable** Adjust size, speed, health, spawn rate, aggression, and more. *** ## 🧬 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 ``` *** ## ⚙️ Configuration Options Each option is editable in the `mebahel-zombie-horde_config.json` file: ☀️ **`spawnInDayLight`** (`true` / `false`) → If `false`, zombies burn in sunlight and only spawn at night. 🔥 **`enableDifficultySystem`** (`true` / `false`) → If `true`, entering the Nether increases future horde difficulty. 🚫 **`hordeSpawning`** (`true` / `false`) → Disables all horde spawns if set to `false`. ⏱️ **`hordeSpawnDelay` **v1.0.13+ -> (default : "hordeSpawnDelay": \[15,"minute"\])  before v1.0.13 -> (default : "hordeSpawnDelay": 15) → Time between horde spawn attempts (can be minute/day). 🎲 **`hordeSpawnChance`** (`0.0–1.0`, default: `0.8`) → Probability a horde will spawn each cycle (0.8 = 80%). 👥 **`randomNumberHordeReinforcements`** (`0–10`, default: `0`) → Adds random extra mobs to each horde. 🧟 **`hordeNumber`** (`1–20`, default: `1`) → How many hordes spawn at once. ❤️ **`hordeMemberBonusHealth`** (`0–40`, default: `0`) → Extra health (20 = +10 hearts per mob). 🪟 **`hordeMemberBreakGlass`** (`true` / `false`) → Horde mobs will break glass blocks if `true`. _(v1.0.5+)_ 🚪 **`hordeMemberBreakFence`** (`true` / `false`) → Horde mobs will break fences and gates if `true`. _(v1.0.6+)_ 🗺️ **`showHordeSpawningMessage`** (`true` / `false`) → If `true`, displays spawn coordinates in chat. _(v1.0.8+)_ *** ## ⚙️ In game commands (v1.0.13+) * In game command that spawn a horde : /mebahelzombiehorde spawnhorde * In game command to reload the configs : /mebahelzombiehorde reloadconfig * In game command to know when the next horde spawn will occur : /mebahelzombiehorde nextspawn *** ## 💬 Notes & Credits * 🧪 This mod is **a work in progress** — feedback and ideas are welcome! * 💬 Join our Discord: [https://discord.com/invite/y8uC2NepkB](https://discord.com/invite/y8uC2NepkB) *** ## 🔎 Discover More Mods by Mebahel [](https://modrinth.com/mod/mebahels-antique-beasts) ⚔️ **Mebahel's Antique Beasts** Add epic mythological creatures, weapons, and lore to your Minecraft world.
