This mod completely reworks zombies, turning them into the main and most dangerous threat in the your'e world.

Zombies now make up around 70% of all hostile mob spawns, while the remaining 30% are shared between other mobs. They are no longer blind or slow on open terrain, zombies can detect players from up to 100 blocks away. If the player is hidden or blocked by obstacles, detection becomes much harder, making positioning and environment matter.

There is also a small chance (about 3%) for zombies to spawn with random weapons or armor, adding variety and unexpected difficulty to encounters.

The biggest change is their behavior. Zombies are able to break weak blocks such as wood, doors, and stone-based blocks, or build blocks under themselves to reach the player. Their AI is improved overall: they react to noise, navigate terrain more intelligently, and actively try to reach the player instead of getting stuck.

This mod is designed to make survival feel tense and dangerous again, where zombies behave less like simple mobs and more like a coordinated, persistent threat.

By day, you rule the world. By night, the zombies do.
