Description

🧟 Zombies With Bows+

Think zombies are dangerous enough up close? Zombies With Bows+ gives the undead a new way to hunt you down.

This mod allows zombies and other applicable undead variants to spawn with bows or crossbows, turning some encounters into ranged combat situations. Whether you're exploring a ruined city, defending your base, or simply trying to survive the night, you may have to watch out for more than just a zombie running toward you.

🏹 Ranged Undead

Zombies, Husks, Drowned, Zombie Villagers, Zombified Piglins, and other applicable zombie variants can be given the ability to spawn with ranged weapons.

Depending on your configuration, they can spawn with:

  • 🏹 Bows
  • 🏹 Crossbows

Each supported mob has its own configurable chances, allowing you to decide how common ranged undead should be.

✨ Enchanted Weapons

Ranged undead can also spawn with enchanted weapons.

Bows

Configure the chances for:

  • Power I–V
  • Punch I–II
  • Flame
  • Unbreaking I–III
  • Mending
  • Infinity

Crossbows

Configure the chances for:

  • Quick Charge I–III
  • Multishot
  • Piercing I–IV
  • Unbreaking I–III
  • Mending

You can control how frequently weapons are enchanted and how frequently individual enchantments appear.

⚙️ Highly Configurable

Almost everything important is configurable.

You can control the ranged-weapon chance for individual undead variants and customize their enchantment behavior to create anything from:

A rare zombie archer encounter

to:

An entire world filled with ranged undead.

Want a brutal apocalypse? Increase the chances.

Want ranged zombies to be extremely rare? Lower them.

Want every zombie to carry a ranged weapon? You can do that too.

🧩 FLAME's Zombie Lib

Zombies With Bows+ uses FLAME's Zombie Lib as its shared framework.

This allows Zombies With Bows+ to work alongside other mods using the same library while helping prevent different special-zombie equipment mods from fighting over the same mob.

🖥️ Server & Singleplayer

Designed to work in:

  • Singleplayer
  • Dedicated servers
  • Multiplayer environments

The mod is designed with server-side gameplay in mind, so the gameplay functionality does not unnecessarily require every player to install the mod when used on a compatible dedicated server.


Your zombies don't have to chase you anymore. Sometimes, they'll just shoot you. 🧟🏹
