By using mods, you can change Minecraft into a scary zombie apocalypse where you have to fight to live. This makes exploring and building a lot more thrilling! In this article, I will talk about the best mods to use and how to set them up step-by-step.
Get Ready for the Zombie Invasion!
The first thing you need to do is download and install a mod manager. This helps you easily add all the mods we will discuss without issues. The two most popular options are Forge and Fabric. They are easy to set up – just go to their websites and follow the instructions.
Once you have Forge or Fabric installed, you can start adding the mods! I will now go over the best mods for turning Minecraft into a zombie survival game.
Make Zombies a Real Threat
The first type of mods you want are ones that make zombies smarter and more dangerous. This makes them scarier and harder to deal with.
Some great mods for this are:
– Zombie Awareness – makes zombies hunt you, especially at night. They break doors and blocks.
– AtomicStryker’s Infernal Mobs – adds zombie hordes that hunt you in groups. Very scary!
– Parasitic/Infectious – zombies can spread viruses that infect you and other mobs.
– ToroHealth’s Zombie Awareness – adds creepier zombie skins and models.
These mods make zombies a constant threat you have to worry about. They will attack your shelters and break down doors, so you have to be very careful!
Make Survival Harder
The next step is downloading mods that make the overall survival and health aspects of Minecraft more difficult. This makes it so you have to struggle to find food, water, and shelter.
Some good mods for survival are:
– Tough As Nails – adds body temperature effects, thirst, and more.
– Survivalist – makes hunger, health, and needs more realistic.
– Spice of Life – makes you need to eat different foods to live.
– Rough Tweaks – disables natural health regen and other changes.
These mods force you to search for ingredients to cook complex foods, drink water, and find shelter to regulate temperature. You’ll spend more time meeting your character’s needs for safety.
Get Weapons to Defend Yourself
Now that zombies are dangerous and survival is tough, you need good weapons to defend yourself! Mods like these add firearms and other tools:
– MrCrayfish’s Gun Mod – adds guns like pistols, rifles, shotguns and more.
– Flan’s Mod – includes firearms plus grenades, missiles and other weapons.
– Spartan Weaponry – adds spears, shields and other melee options.
– Xen’s Armor, Weapons, and Tools – modular mod with modern and sci-fi guns and weapons.
With the right firearms and melee weapons, you can build defences and take the fight to the zombies! Shoot down hordes, detonate explosives, and more to protect yourself.
Increase Exploration and Map Tools
Some other great mods to consider improve exploration or add helpful map tools:
– Xaero’s Minimap – adds a customizable fullscreen map with icons and radar.
– Journeymap – similar fullscreen mapping tools to find your way.
– Roguelike Dungeons – adds randomly generated dungeons to find loot.
– Doomlike Dungeons – dangerous dungeons with monsters and bosses.
– Gravestone Mod – creates graves where you died to recover items.
