This 1.12.2 Forge mod adds a small config file that lets you control the frequency of zombie villages throughout the world.
In vanilla Minecraft, 1 out of every 50 villages generated is a zombie village. These generate with no doors and a population composed entirely of zombie villagers. This mod lets you either change the "1 in 50" chance to something like a "1 in 5" or even a "1 in 1" chance, and optionally to reverse the check (so, say, only 1 in 50 villages are not zombie villages).
Additionally, there is (in 1.1.0) an option to make zombie villagers not burn in daylight, as if they were a regular villager. This helps fix them from basically instantly despawning since they don't try to stay inside shade or anything (not smart...). This is off by default because it (unfortunately) affects all zombie villagers, since I can't tell if they were naturally generated in a village or not. (yet.)
Other than that, this mod doesn't do anything else to village frequency or size.
Tips:
- You can disable zombie villages entirely by setting the chance to "1 in 1" and inverting it.
- You can make every village a zombie village by setting the chance to "1 in 1" and not inverting it.

Hi, I was wondering if this could be updated to the current version of Forge or Fabric? It would work really well in a playthrough I intend to get started on, and I can't find another mod with features like this, they look like they'd be fun to use. Cheers.
I've thought about it, but these days villages generate in a much different manner.

Ah, I see, that's a shame but thanks for the response.
I'm actually going to get around to using this lol
thank you, this is extremely useful!
This is awesome, thank you for making it!
Good idea - I didn't even know zombie villages were a thing! I would love to see more like this, to control other chances like ocean* monuments and woodland mansions.

I'm not sure how to change the frequencies of those 😅 This mod changes which proportion of villages are zombie villages but doesn't generate any more or less villages than the game usually would.
Thank you for making this!
