Early access / previews are available via Ko-fi with an Undead Architect tier membership ↓
Azu’s Enhanced Zombie Variants is a work-in-progress resource pack that enhances the appearance and variety of zombies in Minecraft Java.
This resource pack uses an OptiFine feature called Custom Entity Models (CEM) to add new models.
⚠️ IT WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY WITHOUT THIS FEATURE!
As an alternative to OptiFine, the combination of Entity Model Features and Entity Texture Features can be used to enable CEM functionality.
