Description
Zombie horde
Zombie horde turns vanilla zombies into a scalable siege system for Fabric.
Zombies do not just run at the player anymore. Depending on settings and progression, they can break blocks, place blocks, build pressure paths, and coordinate different combat roles to keep survival challenging over long play sessions.
🎉 Thanks for 500 downloads!
I really appreciate the support.
Core Gameplay Features
-
Block Breaking AI
Zombies can destroy valid obstacles to open a path toward players. -
Block Placing AI (Hardmode)
Builder zombies can place blocks for vertical pressure and assault routing. -
Bridging Behavior
When no direct route exists, zombies can place blocks to continue advancing instead of failing path attempts. -
Special Zombie Variants
Multiple variants with different combat profiles, including heavy, fast, and tool-focused attackers. -
Role-Based Pressure
Some zombies focus on breaching and breaking, while others focus on building and route creation.
Short Legacy Video from the Zombie horde mod (1.1.1): Current version includes major AI, bridging, block placing/breaking, variants, and scaling improvements.
