Gamingbarn’s Zombies Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.6) brings a complete overhaul to the zombie system in Minecraft by replacing the default hostile mobs with aggressive, faster, and much more intelligent zombie variants. These undead threats aren’t just faster and stronger they’re smarter too. Expect zombies that can break blocks, build bridges, heal themselves, spit acid, and even leave fiery trails when set ablaze. The undead have never been this dangerous.
From Water Zombies that zip through rivers and oceans in broad daylight to Scorched Zombies that are completely immune to fire, this mod makes each encounter feel unpredictable and brutal. If you die to a zombie, beware: you’ll spawn a player zombie, stronger than average, equipped with abilities based on your former self. This mod is ideal for hardcore survival challenges, modpacks, or players looking to turn Minecraft into a real fight for survival.

- Replaces standard hostile mobs with upgraded zombie types
