About this project

What does ZomboTech: Threat Director add?

🧟 ZomboTech: Threat Director

ZomboTech: Threat Director is a comprehensive, standalone Master Difficulty & Survival Orchestrator inspired by the progressive survival rhythm of 7 Days to Die, natively available for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge) and Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge).

Instead of static Minecraft difficulties or erratic mob scalers, Threat Director seamlessly unifies zombie attributes, custom blood moon hordes, block destruction, death penalties, emergency supply airdrops, and popular survival mods into a sleek, in-game configurable system with per-world persistence.


🌟 Key Features

  • 🎮 Seamless In-Game GUI: Replaces vanilla difficulty buttons in both the World Creation and Options/Pause screens with an interactive, tabbed dashboard.
  • 🔒 Difficulty Lock System: Safely lock difficulty per-world to prevent cheating in hardcore playthroughs (protected by a dedicated confirmation dialog).
  • 📈 Dynamic Stat Engine: Scales zombie Health, Damage, and Movement Speed asymptotically as in-game days progress (supporting both linear and exponential curves).
  • 💀 Blood Moon & Custom Hordes: Fully manages horde frequencies, wave counts, daily percentage growth, and zombie block smashing mechanics.
  • 🧱 Calibrated Zombie Block Smashing: Controls how many zombies must group up to break blocks during hordes (from disabled up to instant solo smashing).
  • 🛩️ Supply Airdrops & Dynamic Loot: Orchestrates scheduled cargo airdrops with 4 weighted crate types (Food, Medical, Weapons, Strategic) and 5 tiers of day-scaled survival loot.
  • 🩸 Fair Death Penalties: Configurable day rewinds and attribute loss on player death to prevent unwinnable "death loops".
  • 🌐 Bilingual Support: Instant, in-GUI toggle between English and Turkish (🌐 Lang: Auto / EN / TR), with chat radio announcements localized to each player's client.
  • 📋 Select World Screen Badges: Displays difficulty presets, lock icons, survival days, and horde countdowns directly on the world list without covering vanilla text.
  • 💾 Zero-Crash Isolated Bridges: Built-in runtime support for external survival mods (The Hordes, LSO, Diet, Egg's Zombies, and Realistic Airdrop) without causing crashes if they are not installed!

🎯 Calibrated Difficulty Presets

Threat Director comes out-of-the-box with 9 meticulously tuned presets:

Preset Health / Dmg / Spd Horde Interval Smashing Power External Modules (LSO, Diet, Airdrop)
Peaceful 1.0x / 1.0x / 1.0x Disabled Disabled (0) Disabled
Easy 1.0x / 1.0x / 1.0x 14 Days Disabled (0) Disabled
Easy+ 1.2x / 1.2x / 1.05x 10 Days Large Swarm (8) Thirst Only, Basic Airdrops
Normal 1.5x / 1.5x / 1.10x 7 Days Balanced Swarm (5) Standard LSO & Diet, 3-Day Airdrops
Normal+ 1.75x / 1.75x / 1.15x 6 Days Strong Swarm (4) Standard LSO & Diet, 3-Day Airdrops
Hard 2.0x / 2.0x / 1.20x 5 Days Small Group (3) Full LSO & Strict Diet, Locked Safes
Hard+ 2.5x / 2.5x / 1.25x 4 Days Dangerous Pair (2) Full LSO & Strict Diet, Locked Safes
Apocalypse 3.0x / 3.0x / 1.30x 3 Days Dangerous Pair (2) Brutal Survival, Locked Safes
Apocalypse+ 4.0x / 4.0x / 1.35x 2 Days Instant Solo (1) Extreme Survival, Locked Safes

Every slider, multiplier, and toggle can also be freely customized in the Fine-Tuning tab across 4 clear categories: Zombies, Player, World, and Other!


🔌 Integrated Mod Bridges (Optional But Recommended)

Threat Director is fully functional on its own, but automatically bridges with these popular mods if present:

  • Enhanced Hordes / The Hordes: Dynamically controls horde schedules, wave densities, zombie infection transmission, and block breaking.
  • Legendary Survival Overhaul (LSO): Toggles and tunes thirst, temperature, localized limb injury, and heart loss per difficulty preset.
  • Diet: Synchronizes nutrition loss, debuffs, and balanced diet buffs with chosen difficulty levels.
  • Egg's Zombies: Scales 9 custom zombie variants (Rusher, Puker, Bulldog, etc.) dynamically with world days, complete with dedicated health and damage multiplier sliders.
  • Realistic Airdrop: Fully coordinates supply cargo flights, frequency intervals, passcode protection, and 5 tiers of survival day loot scaling without duplicate aircraft or empty chests.
