DatapacksJava
Zombies Slow You
Zombies slow you down when they hit you, along with preventing you from jumping, think of it like a grapple. Very Simple.
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Hey, how come no one made this kind of datapack yet?
Or is it just that I didn't search well enough..?
Basically, once a zombie hits you, your Movement Speed attribute will be multiplied by 0.25 (equivalent to Slowness V) and
- for versions 1.21 and above: Multiplies your Jump Strength attribute by 0.
- for versions below 1.21: Jump Boost 128.
for 1.5 seconds
If you don't like these values, you can configure it by going to
- 1.21+: zombies_slow/data/zombies_slow/function/zombie_hit.mcfunction
- Below 1.21: zombies_slow/data/zombies_slow/functions/zombie_hit.mcfunction
