The beginning of the horde.

zMCSandbox is a fleshed out (no pun intended) wave‑based survival gamemode inspired by classic Zombies-style gameplay. It gives creators the tools they need to build custom maps with round progression, perks, barricades, wall‑buys, custom spawners, and a full economy system. Maintaining the vanilla feel of Minecraft, this mod is perfect for those who want to relive their childhood with the comfort of their favourite block game.

You can place whatever you'd like for players to purchase.

Features

  • The wave system with automatic scaling
  • A point‑based economy with purchases to match
  • A perk machine mechanic including several basic perks
  • A Barricade/door system with custom pricing
  • Wall‑weapon frames, also with customisable prices
  • Custom spawner blocks linked to doors (WIP)
  • A Scoreboard UI for both rounds and points
  • Creator tools and commands for fast map setup

Featuring three pre-made maps

The barrier system is highly versatile.

Made for creative minds

Build your own Zombies‑style maps using these simple tools:

  • Select and group barricade blocks
  • Set costs for doors and wall weapons
  • Link spawners to doors
  • Perks and new weapons
  • A map reset command
What's this crate looking thing, I wonder?

Requirements

Forge 1.19.3

_Visit the Github repo and hunt for 'Extra Files' for the bundled maps, as well as the README_

Go wild. I can't wait to see what comes of this.

_(If, for some reason you'd like to support the chaos behind this mod's creation, I do have a Patreon! This will come with little benefits such as getting to know the real me, as well as extra Motion content from Miss Motion!)_
