DatapacksJava
Zombie Survival
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.
This is a simple datapack that replaces most overworld mobs with different zombie variants. Creepers, Skeletons, Strays, Spiders, Cave Spiders, Endermen, Guardians, Elder Guardians, Bogged, and Witches are removed and replaced by zombies.
This datapack also includes blood particles to make the gameplay a little more fun and brutal.
The zombies drop the loot that the mob they replace would normally drop, so the default progression is still mostly intact.
- Zombies spawn more frequently
- Zombies no longer drop rotten flesh
- Husks now spawn outside of the desert
- Most overworld hostile mobs are replaced with a new zombie variant
- Loot boxes and health kits spawn throughout the world, melee them to loot them
- Loot boxes drop gold, iron, emeralds, and arrows
- Health kits drop health potions
