Bug Reports & Feature Requests

⚰️ Core Mechanic

a player fighting zombies and turning into a zombie

When you die, you rise again as a zombie player. Your inventory drops, your abilities change, and you must find a way to cure yourself - or embrace the undead life.

🦠 Infection System

Getting hit by zombies or cave spiders gradually infects you.
Infection progresses through 3 stages with increasing debuffs.
Dynamic HUD: A custom on-screen progress bar and fading fullscreen tint will visually track your exact infection percentage!
At 100% infection, you transform into a zombie player.
You can eat Totem Shards or Golden Apples to reduce infection.
Beware of Infected Water and over 450 new Infected Block variants spreading through the environment!

✨ Splash Potion of Holiness & Cleansing

Splash Potion of Holiness: A brand new brewable item! Craft it by placing a Totem Shard and Splash Water Bottles into a Brewing Stand.
Purify the World: When thrown, it instantly cures infected blocks and water within a 4-block radius.
Weapon Against the Undead: The potion heavily damages undead mobs (including other Zombie Players!)
Infected Sponges: Sponges can absorb Infected Water, turning into Wet Infected Sponges (which can be dried by smelting)

♻️ Built-in World Converter

clicking the Convert World button in the config screen, showing a progress bar, and then logging into a world to see the infection gone

Did the infection get out of hand? Use the built-in World Converter directly from the mod's Config Screen! With one click, the tool will automatically create a safe backup of your save file, scan your entire world, and restore all infected blocks and water back to their normal vanilla states.

🏰 New Structures

Graveyard: Brave the dangers to find unique loot chests hidden inside ancient Coffins. (Can generate in all biomes except Mushroom Island)
Infected Lake: This is the ONLY way to obtain Infected Water in Survival mode! (Can generate in all biomes except Mushroom Island)

🧟 Zombie Player

Burn in sunlight (like regular zombies).
Night vision in darkness.
Hostile mobs ignore you (before you touch them).
Limited inventory (left and right hands).
Raw meat heals more, cooked food is worse.
Iron Golems attack you, Villagers and Wandering Traders flee from you.
Progress through stages: Fresh > Rotting > Old Zombie. As you rot, you gain massive combat resistance against players, but become significantly more vulnerable to sunlight and fall damage!
Breathe underwater.
Killing a Villager, Horse, Piglin, or Wandering Trader will instantly convert them into their undead variant!

💛 Cure Ritual

Zombie players can steal the body of living players they kill in PvP - curing themselves (by 50%) while zombifying the victim!

🏆 Advancements & Progression

A massive, fully-custom advancement tree containing 17 unique advancements guides you through your undead journey! Unlock milestones for surviving as a zombie, performing the cure ritual, stealing bodies, or crafting specialized survival gear like the Sack and Totem Shard.

🎒 Sack

The player crafts a sack and wears it

A unique equipment item that expands your hotbar by 3 extra slots when worn as a chestplate. Items persist inside the sack when unequipped. Can be crafted with 7 rabbit/normal leather and 1 string.

The player dyes a sack

Fully Dyeable: Personalize your storage! The Sack can be dyed into all 16 different colors, and your items safely transfer over when re-dyeing!

⚙️ Fully Configurable

all mod settings (and completely reworked Server Tab and the new per-world configuration profile setup)

Over 45 server-side options and 12 client-side options. Toggle every single feature, adjust damage multipliers, customize UI elements (like the new fullscreen tint opacity), and more! Admin commands (/infect, /cure, /zombie) are also included for easy server management.

Accessible directly from the Vanilla Pause Menu and right before you Create a New World! You can even create and assign unique server configuration profiles for each individual world!
