Better zombie Ai Preset - INSANITY - Minecraft Mods - CurseForge

-Every negative setting is on

Better zombie ai Preset - Compatibility - Minecraft Mods - CurseForge

-Allows for compatibility between better zombie ai and similar mods such as zombie awareness

Better Zombie Ai Preset - Hordes - Minecraft Mods - Curseforge

Better Zombie Ai Preset - Siege - Minecraft Mods - Curseforge

-Creates an expirence; which allows for the creation of bases constantly under siege

(These remove the menu (From appearing in each world) and set change the settings to create different experiences)

(Combined them, for more varied experiences (Some may be incompatible))

(Use these for improved modpacks)
