> Зомби (и зомби-жители) могут заразить игрока вирусом: сначала тошнота, затем слепота, а потом — превращение в зомби!
> Если зомби или зомби-житель убивает игрока, он всегда возвращается в виде зомби с его снаряжением!

Zombies Improve Over Time

# Zombies Improve Over Time
This datapack increases zombies’s stats over time. The changes are made to be gradual, increasing very slightly each minecraft day up to day 100. Difficulty is calculated for each player separately. New players will start with weak zombies while players who have been playing for a while will have stronger zombies.

## NOTICE: This datapack is discontinued, instead use the Hostile Mobs Improve Over Time datapack: https://modrinth.com/datapack/hostile-mobs-improve-over-time

### Stat increase
Stats that change include:
– Health
– Damage
– Reinforcement chance
– Knockback resistance
– Movement speed
– Armor and armor toughness

Day 50 enables all zombies to break doors
Day 70~ – enables all zombies to pick up loot
Day 80 – some zombies change to baby/or have leather armor
Day 95 – Zombies might gain strenght and speed when near player
some other stuff

### Commands
If you wish to test out how hard the zombies are, use functions diff:day25, diff:day50, diff:day75, diff:100 or use command “scoreboard players set Timeroo . To reset your score use diff:reset, or diff:resetall to reset all of players difficulty.
### Timers
Timer for difficulty is per player, and increases every minecraft day (20 minutes). sleeping does NOT forward this timer. Max difficulty is day 100+ and difficulty does not increase after that.
### Installing
like your ordinary datapack, put zip file in your datapacks folder of your world
### Unistalling
use function diff:unistall and then remove your datapack from your datapacks folder
### Other
I am planning on making a version of this datapack for each common mob, then making a datapack consisting of all of them

### There is now Hostile mobs improve over time datapack which includes this + many more hostile mobs, you can download it here – https://modrinth.com/datapack/hostile-mobs-improve-over-time – but if you wish to play with only some of them, links are below.

All of them are compatible with eachother, and I recommend you play with all of them for the best experience.

Zombies Guns


[](https://modrinth.com/datapack/gun-core)
*Zombies Guns requires [Gun Core](https://modrinth.com/datapack/gun-core)!*

Ever wondered how good the pistol would be in a normal setting? How would a bastion of Piglins hold up against a Zombie Zapper?

Zombies Guns is an addon for Gamingbarn’s Guns that adds the guns from the Hypixel Zombies minigame to vanilla Minecraft!

|Zombies Guns adds the guns from the Hypixel Zombies minigame to vanilla Minecraft! All of the guns added by this pack are craftable! Find the recipes in the vanilla crafting table!

Zombies Evolved

**The data-pack library [Hit Match](https://github.com/picarrow/hit-match/releases/tag/v2.0.0) is REQUIRED to be installed for Zombies Evolved to function as expected. Please click on the link to download it.**

## 🟧 About

    Zombies Evolved is a data pack that seeks to provide players with a uniquely arduous challenge while also maintaining Minecraft’s beloved feel and freedom. Each zombie variant added is intended to bring along new mechanics and a refreshing ambience of horror.

## 🟧 Features

    The data pack is a work in progress. But every release that finds its way here has been tested and is completely functional, just not feature-complete. As of the current version, there are **three evolved zombies added to the game**. Although you can read about them in the spoiler below, why not consider going in blind?

    Specific elements of the data pack can be configured in the settings, accessible by the command `/function zombies_evolved:_settings/show/_`.

## 🟧 Installation

    The Zombies Evolved data pack should be installed like any other data pack.
That entails dragging the entire pack (the ZIP) into the `datapacks` folder of a world.
Additionally, Zombies Evolved requires the data-pack library [Hit Match](https://github.com/picarrow/hit-match/releases/tags/v2.0.0) to be installed along with it.

## 🟧 Distribution & Modification & Media
    If you’re going to do anything with my data pack that is apart from simply playing with it, please give credit where credit is due. This includes distributing, modifying, recording footage of, or streaming my data pack. I’ve spent countless hours on it (including the upcoming features that aren’t yet visible in the release version!). Please note the project is under the GNU General Public License v3.0.

Zombies+

Zombies+ is a mod-pack for players who crave a true apocalypse experience in Minecraft. The undead are faster, smarter, and deadlier thanks to mods like Ashen’s Zombie Apocalypse, Zombie Awareness, Zombies Improved, and Zombies Revamped. Expect relentless hordes, infected players, and grotesque new zombie variants that will hunt you without rest.

Survival means staying armed and alert — Point Blank and its recipe packs supply you with an arsenal of firearms, while Just Barricades and Veinminer let you quickly gather resources and fortify your position. Every bullet counts when the mobs swarm and ammo runs dry.

The world is more immersive and beautiful — but no less dangerous. Biomes O’ Plenty, Lithostitched, and TerraBlender expand the landscapes, while shaders like BSL, Complementary Reimagined, and Photon bring dynamic lighting, realistic shadows, and atmospheric skies. Resource packs such as Fresh Animations, Better Leaves, Cubic Sun & Moon, and Fresh Moves give mobs and the environment lifelike motion, making every encounter feel more real — and more terrifying.

With quality-of-life tools like AppleSkin, BetterF3, Xaero’s Minimap, and Simple Voice Chat, plus performance boosters like Embeddium, FerriteCore, and ModernFix, Zombies+ delivers a smooth yet relentless survival horror experience. The nights are darker, the dead are smarter, and the only way to make it to sunrise is to fight for every breath.

This meticulously curated collection of mods is designed to deliver a **hardcore zombie-slaying experience** like no other.

**In this unforgiving landscape**, every decision is a matter of life and death. Resources are scarce, danger lurks around every corner, and the infected are relentless in their pursuit of human prey.

ZombiemagiCraft

Introducing ZombiemagiCraft, a Minecraft modpack designed for those who seek an immersive blend of magic, combat, and exploration, without the complexity of more technical packs. This modpack enhances the vanilla experience with carefully curated “vanilla+” additions, striking the perfect balance between depth and accessibility.

In ZombiemagiCraft, base mobs are significantly upgraded to provide a heightened challenge, making every encounter more thrilling. Expect tougher enemies with unique abilities, forcing players to strategize and work together, especially in multiplayer. The world is rich with magical elements, offering powerful spells, enchanted items, and arcane rituals that will empower your journey. As you explore new biomes, dungeons, and magical realms, you’ll uncover secrets and rare resources vital to mastering the mystical arts.

While the pack focuses on magic and PvE, the additions remain intuitive and easy to grasp, ensuring a fun and engaging experience for both casual and veteran players alike. Whether you’re casting spells, forging legendary weapons, or taking on powerful foes with friends, ZombiemagiCraft promises an enchanting multiplayer adventure filled with discovery and epic battles.
