Zombie Apocalypse Evolution – AI Overhaul & Difficulty Scaling

This mod completely rewrites zombie AI and causes survival difficulty to scale as the number of in-game days increases. Almost all settings are customizable. The version for 1.20.1 can be found at https://www.mcmod.cn/class/16472.html. This new version is a beta release; please report any issues you encounter on GitHub. The required dependency library is available at https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/bunkercore-eod

Blood Moon System & Burning

• The chance of a Blood Moon rises over time. During a Blood Moon, hordes of zombies continuously spawn and aggressively hunt the player.

• A warning is broadcast at dawn before a Blood Moon night.

• Zombie burning behaviour is configurable (e.g. toggle daylight burning). After a set number of days, zombies become immune to lava and campfires.

Zombie Behaviour & Group Dynamics

• Zombies can see through walls and obstacles – hiding inside buildings won't save you.

• They follow each other, so they tend to move in large groups.

• Zombies jump repeatedly to close the gap or leap at the player.

• They can swim and are no longer trapped by boats or minecarts.

• Zombies can stack on top of each other.

• Zombie spawns replace other mob spawns (configurable).

Looting & Equipment

• Zombies actively search nearby chests and equip the best items based on enchantments, durability, and quality.

• Their equipment quality scales with the number of days passed (configurable).

• They can pick up and use weapons from the ground.

• Zombies can wear a dispenser on their head, firing arrows, dragon's breath, harmful potions, fire charges, fireballs, shulker bullets, and more.

Combat & Ranged Attacks

• Zombies throw TNT with improved accuracy and a chance to explode instantly.

• They throw Ender Pearls to teleport close to the player.

• They can use bows, crossbows, and tridents, and can throw tridents.

• Zombies raise shields when near the player to harass you (they cannot attack while shielding).

• When TACZ is installed (optional), zombies can equip firearms (except machine guns) with full compatibility.

• They throw beneficial potions to other zombies and harmful potions at players.

Pathfinding & Block Interaction

• Zombies identify and break specific blocks that block their path.

• They have advanced pathfinding and can even ride phantoms.

Announcements & Configuration

• Day/night changes and Blood Moon warnings are shown via title and chat.

• Almost everything is configurable: spawn rates, behaviour probabilities, Blood Moon chance, attribute multipliers, time‑scaling, and more.
