Description

Only Zombies Spawn

Only Zombies Spawn is a lightweight mod that restricts hostile mob spawns exclusively to zombies. When a non-zombie monster attempts to spawn, it is automatically replaced with one or more zombies.

Features

  • Spawn Replacement: Replaces all hostile mobs (monsters) with zombies.
  • Wide Coverage: Works for natural spawns, mob spawners, chunk generation, structures, and patrols.
  • Boss Exclusion: Ender Dragons and Withers are excluded from replacement and will spawn normally.
  • Spawn Multiplier: Configure between 1 to 40 zombies to spawn in place of a single replaced mob.
  • Persistence Inheritance: If the original mob was set to not despawn (e.g., via a Name Tag), the replacement zombies will also inherit this persistence.

Configuration

You can open the configuration GUI in-game using the /ozsconfig command to adjust the following settings:

  • Allowed Mobs (allowedMobs): Specify a list of mobs that should be allowed to spawn normally without being replaced.
  • Disabled Dimensions (disabledDimensions): Specify dimensions (e.g., The Nether, The End) where the mod's effects should be disabled.
  • Zombie Spawn Multiplier (zombieSpawnMultiplier): Set the number of zombies that appear per replacement (Default: 1).

The configuration file is saved at config/onlyzombiesspawn.properties.

Supported Versions

  • Forge: 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1
  • NeoForge: 1.21.1, 26.1, 26.1.2
  • Fabric: 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 26.1, 26.1.2

Perfect for zombie-themed worlds, custom modpacks, and survival challenges.
