Among the Infected

In the silence that followed the outbreak, only the infected remained. Now, every breath you take is borrowed time.

🌍 Overview

Among the Infected is a dark, immersive zombie apocalypse modpack built for Minecraft 1.20.1. Inspired by survival games like The Last of Us, DayZ, and Project Zomboid, this pack transforms your Minecraft world into a bleak, infected wasteland where survival is brutal—and often brief.

Civilisation has collapsed. Cities have crumbled. Nature is corrupted. The infected have taken over, and they’re not the mindless mobs you remember. These zombies are faster, smarter, and more aggressive, and they hunt in packs. With infection spreading through contact, resources dwindling, and the blood moon rising more frequently, every step you take must be calculated… or it may be your last.

🔥 Core Features

🧟 Enhanced Zombie Threat

• Zombies are more numerous, faster, and intelligent, thanks to AI overhaul mods.

• Hordes will swarm your position using sound and sight.

• Infection spreads via bites, spores, and even airborne contagion (optional hard mode).

• Rare, special infected variants add chaos and unpredictability.

🏙️ Post-Apocalyptic World Generation

• Explore procedurally generated ruined cities, collapsed villages, and decaying bunkers.

• Environmentally themed biomes reflect a dying world—ash-covered plains, toxic rivers, broken highways.

• Night brings more danger, especially during blood moon events, when the infected grow stronger and spawn in waves.

🔫 Realistic Weapons & Equipment

• Modern firearms with recoil, attachments, and limited ammo.

• Tactical gear, including riot armor, gas masks, backpacks, and flashlights.

• Crafting and scavenging are essential—hoard ammo, bandages, and meds or die trying.

🧊 Hardcore Survival Systems

• Temperature, thirst, bleeding, and infection mechanics simulate survival under pressure.

• Loot is rare, forcing you to scavenge city ruins, hospitals, and abandoned bunkers.

• Food spoils over time, and healing is a slow process. Caution is your greatest ally.

🔧 Base Building & Defense

• Fortify homes and bunkers with traps, turrets, barbed wire, and redstone-powered defences.

• Use modern machinery to automate survival tasks—or keep the lights on.

• Reinforce your safehouse before nightfall, or risk being overrun.

🎮 Who Is This Modpack For?

• Players seeking a challenging, immersive zombie survival experience

• Fans of realistic or tactical gameplay with high stakes

• Those who enjoy solo survival, faction-style multiplayer, or co-op apocalypse roleplay
