Variety Zombies

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16–1.17. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

Minecraft 1.17.1Newest
Minecraft 1.16.5

⬇ Download for 1.17.1 ⬇ Download for 1.16.5

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.

Hi!, This is my first mod!, I made this in MCreator, all of the textures are made by me!, I really hope you enjoy!

The mod currently adds 19 Zombie Variants and 5 Items!, I plan on adding more in the future and continuing to update the mod. (items are "Ice Pick" a rare drop from Iced Zombies, "Hatchet" craft able, "Knife" also craft able,"SandyShirt" an uncommon drop from Sandy Zombies, and the "Miner Helmet" a rare drop from miner zombies).

IF YOU NOTICE ANY BUGS PLEASE REACH OUT!, (Also if you want to help me make textures or figure out how to implement features I cant do myself (no programming knowledge) please also reach out!)

My whole vision behind this mod was to add some extra zombies and a couple unobtrusive items, I wanted it to be sort of vanilla-e while still being unique, and to not add a bunch of annoying hard to learn mechanics.

feel free to use this mod in your modpack!, just make sure to credit me (:
