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.
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
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
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!)_
