About this project

What does Zombie Tactics add?

Warning! Zombie Tactics makes significant changes to zombie AI, and thus, may be wholly incompatible with other AI-changing mods.

The features listed bellow can all be toggled and configured in the config file.

Features
Mining

When zombies are done or stuck during navigation, they can attempt to break blocks between them and their target, whether a block can be broken depends on its hardness being lower than the maximal hardness set in the config file.

Climbing

When multiple zombies collide they can push each other up with a set velocity which can be changed in the config file.

Targeting

Zombies will target animals (entities which extend Animal)

Markers

Entities that take damage, use items, or are projectiles hitting a target or surface, will spawn markers which will attract nearby zombies.

Updating to a new major version usually requires the config to be regenerated.
