APOC - A Modern Zombie Apocalypse Experience

Zombies & Hordes:

• Enhanced AI: Makes zombies smarter, allowing them to break blocks, use items, and climb.
• Zombies & Infections: Adds a contractable virus and cure system to the game.
• Zombie Awareness: Zombie can sense/detect you from a lot farther

• Mob Sunscreen: Allows for zombies to survive in the daytime

• No Baby Zombies: You’ve got enough to worry about with mutants, so this mod will take away the stress of baby zombies (removes spawning).

• Contagion: A zombie infection mod
• Bloodmoon Update: Adds a blood moon that happens occasionally and will get progressively harder as 

World Generation & Atmosphere:

• The Lost Cities: Generates ruined urban environments for a true city-decay setting.
• Ambient Sounds: Changes sound fx of the atmosphere of the wilderness, making it feel and sound more real.
• Keerdm’s Zombie Apocalypse Essentials: Adds a new ruined texture variant to the lost cities mod (turn on in lost cities generation options within the world settings of your world).

• Regions Unexplored: Biome generation mod that adds a lot of new biomes, woods, planks and various items to your world.

• Bleak & Barren: Overhauls biomes to fit a desolate theme.
• Terra Blender (Forge): World gen mod to help everything gen and run better.
• YUNG’s Better Dungeons: Overhauls the look, feel and playstyle of a Dungeon.
• YUNG’s Better Mineshafts: Overhauls the look, feel and playstyle of a Mineshaft.

Survival & Mechanics:

• Thirst Was Taken: Introduces a necessary thirst survival bar.

• Travel Friendly Food: Adds a variety of travel friendly food! Exactly what it says.

• Zombie Survival Kit: Provides a wide range of tools, as well as weapons, gear and medicine to survive in a zombie apocalypse.
• Bunker Down: Spawn in a Bunker and find your way back to the surface.
• [NOTE] I refrained from using temp mods like Cold Sweat that adds challenging temperature mechanics (hot/cold) to the game because although this mechanic sounds like a fun mod to add more realism, which at first you’d think, but paired with other mods it became too much of an inconvenience. I felt more attention should go to thirst mods, zombie behaviours and the environmental story that the modpack creates. Enjoy mowing zombies down in the city without unrealistically burning alive from heat in 60 secs. Yet, if you would like to add this mod, make sure it is in the 1.20.1 version and drop the file in the mods folder within the modpack file.

Weapons & Gear:

• [TaCZ] Timeless and Classics Zero Guns: a gun mod that adds various guns from pistols to a minigun, as well as ammo to be found or crafted and an attachment system with a workshop table.
• Sophisticated Backpacks: Adds easy to use backpacks
• Brazilian Craft Cars: Adds a modern selection of cars to use and work on to better the experience.
• Apocalypse Rising: Features modern, detailed melee weapons.
• Bunker Down: Provides structures and equipment for creating secure shelters. 
• Fracture Point: Tactical Military Gear Modpack.

Resource Packs & Visuals (Shaders):

• Tissou’s Zombie Texture Pack: adds a new visual texture to zombies, removing the vanilla look.

• Better Foliage: a mod made to overall the way foliage and mainly bushes look.

• Bliss Shaders: offering realistic light rays, stunning water and sky textures with visual effects and realistic clouds great for a modern zombie apocalypse experience.

• Insanity Shaders: a better performance friendly shader with a dark feel to the world around you, great for the apocalypse. 

• EnhancedVisuals: Adds a gore effect to add a more real and gruesome feel to this modpack.

Config & Files:

• Bad Mobs: No bad mobs other than zombies should be spawning in the world (please lmk if you are having issues!)

• Custom Background : APOC custom menu background is being used.

• No Minecraft Logo X No Minecraft Java Edition Logo: Replaced the original Menu with our APOC menu gui.
