Description

Zombies have found another use for your front door.

Zombie Doors lets adult zombies, husks, and zombie villagers carry wooden doors into combat. They can spawn with one, pick one up, or take a door they’ve broken down.

Zombies, a husk, a zombie villager, and zombified piglins holding different wooden door shields.

More than a shield

Doors block attacks from the front, but each hit wears them down. Cracks appear as damage builds up, and enough hits will break the shield.

Repeated attacks crack a zombie’s door shield until it breaks.

An axe disables blocking for six seconds, giving you an opening. Zombies can also swing their doors at you or hold them overhead to shelter from sunlight.

A zombie moving its door shield between blocking, attacking, and overhead cover poses.

Arrows and non-Loyalty tridents stick in the wood. Embedded tridents drop when the door breaks or the carrier loses it. Loyalty tridents return to their owner.

A door for every biome

The door a zombie spawns with depends on its biome: spruce in cold regions, birch in birch forests, acacia in savannas, and more. Zombified piglins carry crimson and warped doors.

Babies and drowned cannot carry doors.

Standard modded wooden doors are supported too. Modded biomes use wood tags or tree features to choose a matching door, and you can set your own biome mappings in the config.

Your door might be next

Zombies can pick up the wooden doors they break down and use them as shields.

A zombie breaks down a placed wooden door and picks it up as a shield.

Breaking placed doors follows vanilla Minecraft rules by default. A config option lets you override those restrictions.

Configuration

Adjust spawn chances, door durability, combat behavior, and biome choices in config/zombiedoors.json.

Install Mod Menu and Cloth Config for an in-game configuration screen. On a dedicated server, edit the file and run /reload.

See the configuration reference for all settings and biome mappings.

Installation

Requires Fabric Loader, Fabric API, and Java 25. Install Zombie Doors and Fabric API on both the server and each client.

Choose the download for your Minecraft version. Mod Menu and Cloth Config are optional.
