About Zombie Variants
From ModrinthAdd 15 variants of zombies that can appear in different biomes!
Tired of seeing the same old zombie over and over again? Since the early days of Minecraft, the zombie's appearance hasn't changed much — and while that's fine, why not add a little more variety?
This mod introduces 15 new zombie variants, each designed to spawn in specific biomes, bringing more life (or un-life) to your world! Don't worry — the classic zombie will still appear in most common biomes like plains. But now, depending on where you are, you'll encounter new types of zombies that match their surroundings.
For example:
- In snowy or frozen areas, you'll meet the Frozen Zombie.
Below, you'll find a detailed list of each zombie variant and the biome it spawns in.
