CraftZ
A living apocalypse: scavenge the ruins, fight the horde, and help save the world.

CraftZ is the official modpack for the CraftZ zombie-survival server. Drop into a post-apocalyptic open world, manage your thirst, build factions, take down world bosses, and level up with every kill, boss, and crate you open.
This pack comes with the CraftZ network pre-configured. The servers already appear in your in-game Multiplayer menu, so just install, launch, and click to join. No IP to type.
What is CraftZ?
A modded zombie-survival server. Scavenge a ruined open world, manage your thirst, build a faction, fight world bosses and horde raids, and push toward the day the whole community can finally end the apocalypse.
Season Goal: Save the World
The entire community is working toward one thing: ending the apocalypse. Every zombie killed on the server counts toward a global kill target, shown on the server panel.
Two ways to end the season:
- Grind it down: the community reaches the global kill target together. Every player's kills count.
- Go nuclear: a player at Level 100+ can pull a nuclear weapon from the top-tier Level-Up crate (
level6) and detonate it to end the season single-handedly.
Features
- Survival: scavenge ruins and build your base (expect player raids and horde raids)
- Thirst system: it's back
- Modern gunplay: Timeless and Classics Zero (TACZ) with custom gun packs
- World bosses & horde raids: threats that hit the whole server, for large and small factions alike
- Factions & co-op: team up with other survivors, or raid the rest
- Leveling: every kill, boss and crate feeds your level and unlocks rewards
- Seasons: each season ends with a fresh wipe and a new start
- Newcomer friendly: PvP protection and a "Your First Steps" tutorial
- Economy: in-game shop and a player auction house for rare items
- Quests: 70+ quests covering survival, economy, farming and exploration
