Description
VHM-Zombies
If you’ve ever felt that zombies lack the challenge they should bring, VHM-Zombies is here to change that - this mod transforms ordinary zombies into relentless, dangerous foes that make survival truly challenging
Key Features
-- Increased Health & Speed: Zombies are faster, tougher, and can jump 2 blocks while pursuing you -- movement speed can also increase further through mutation. They can also dash towards you to shorten the distance.
-- Extended Tracking & Pathing: Zombies now follow players and villagers more efficiently from greater distances, ensuring you can’t easily escape
-- Fleshspire Empowerment: A rare effect called Fleshspire can empower zombies, drastically boosting their health, speed, and aggression.
-- Hivemind Effect: Certain zombies can become even tougher and call additional zombies to their aid, creating more challenging encounters
-- Randomized Potion Effects: Zombies can spawn with effects such as Health Boost, Resistance, Speed, Strength, Jump Boost, and the powerful Fleshspire effect, making each encounter unpredictable
-- Cave Emergence: Zombies lurking deep underground (Y ≤ 40) rise to the surface at night, increasing nocturnal danger -- zombies unable to reach the surface are despawned
-- Progressive Mutation: Over time, zombies mutate, gaining additional health, potion effects, and movement speed - mutations are influenced by your actions: killing zombies slows progression, while Iron Golems can also stall mutation.
-- Dynamic Entity Interactions: Zombies may attack nearby entities like illagers, animals, and even other monsters (configurable via gamerules)
-- Customization & Gamerules: Numerous new gamerules allow fine-tuning of zombie behavior, health, speed, tracking, aggression, and other settings, giving you full control over the challenge
-- Commands: Use /vhmzsetmutationstage to adjust the current mutation stage and reset its timer
Gameplay Notes
-- The mod works with most other mods, but caution is advised with mods affecting base movement speed, as this can make zombies disproportionately fast.
