Mebahel's Zombie Horde

🧟 Mebahel’s Zombie Horde

Mebahel’s Zombie Horde introduces a survival-focused horde system where the undead attack in coordinated waves.
At regular intervals, a zombie horde spawns and moves toward a random location. If even a single member detects a player, the entire group becomes hostile and attacks together.

With enhanced AI behavior and extensive configuration options, hordes are capable of breaking through glass, fences, and defenses, forcing players to adapt their bases, preparation, and survival strategies.

🧟 Mebahel’s Zombie Horde

A terrifying survival mechanic where the undead come in waves.
Every few minutes, a horde appears and marches to a random location… and if just one sees you — they all attack.

With enhanced AI and full configurability, these zombies will break glass, fences, and swarm your base in numbers.

📦 Requirements

🔥 Required for Forge / NeoForge users (via Sinytra)

• Sinytra Connector
• Forgified Fabric API

🧵 Required for Fabric users

• Fabric API

⭐ Key Features

⏱ Timed Zombie Horde Events

👀 Group Awareness
If one zombie spots you, the whole horde attacks.

🧠 Barrier-Breaking AI
Zombies smash through glass and fences to reach their prey.

🧪 Modded Entity Support
Create custom horde compositions using mobs from other mods.

🔥 Nether Increases Difficulty
Once a player visits the Nether, hordes become stronger.

⚙️ Fully Configurable
Adjust size, speed, health, spawn rate, aggression, and more.

🧬 Horde Composition Example (v1.0.5+)

{
  "hordeCompositions": [
    {
      "weight": 1,
      "dimensions": [
        "minecraft:overworld"
      ],
      "mobTypes": [
        {
          "id": "minecraft:zombie",
          "weight": 40,
          "spawnWithWeaponProbability": 0.25,
          "weapons": [
            {
              "itemId": "minecraft:iron_sword",
              "chance": 0.5
            },
            {
              "itemId": "minecraft:stone_sword",
              "chance": 0.3
            },
            {
              "itemId": "minecraft:wooden_sword",
              "chance": 0.2
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

- the more the weight is the more probability to be chosen
- spawnWithWeaponProbability (v1.0.13+) set the chance of the entity to be equipped with a weapon (between 0.0 and 1.0)
- total weapon chance should be 1.0
