🧬 Unique Zombie Mutations

Every zombie has a chance to spawn as one of 11 unique mutation types:

| Mutation | Description | |----------|-------------| | Leech | Massive health pool with damage resistance, slow but devastating | | Leech | Lightning-fast zombie that rushes players with a speed boost | | Leech | Invisible with a faint particle aura, ambush specialist | | Leech | Spreads poison on hit with a toxic particle cloud | | Leech | Explodes on death, releasing a poison cloud and dealing area damage | | Leech | Ranged attacker that launches poison projectiles | | Leech | Applies slowness on hit, chilling players to the bone | | Leech | Screams to alert and aggro all nearby zombies toward the player | | Leech | Leaves frozen trails, can flash-freeze players, shatters on death dealing AoE damage | | Leech | Shoots fireballs, leaves fire trails, and drops lava on death | | Leech | Steals health on hit, has a life-steal aura, heals nearby zombies on death |

Each mutation has individually toggleable abilities in the configuration.

🫀 Custom Item Drops

- Zombie Heart — All zombies have a 5% chance to drop a Zombie Heart (configurable) - Each mutation type has its own unique loot table with configurable drop chances - Loot tables support per-item drop chances and custom materials

🧪 Crafting System

Access the crafting menu with `/za crafting` to craft special items:

Cure Potion - Recipe: 1 Water Bottle + 2 Rotten Flesh + 2 Diamond Blocks - Drinking the Cure Potion removes all infection and restores you to normal

+2 extra hearts - Recipe: 8 Zombie Hearts + 1 Cure Potion (center) - Eating a Purified Zombie Heart permanently grants +2 extra hearts - Extra hearts persist through infection, mutation, curing, and death — they are truly permanent - Stackable and can be used multiple times for even more hearts

🦠 Player Infection System

- Zombies have a configurable chance to infect players on hit - Infection builds up over time, displayed as a boss bar - Golden apples and enchanted golden apples can reduce infection - At 100% infection, the player transforms into a zombie with a random mutation - Infected players gain abilities matching their mutation type - Infected players are ignored by zombies and can hunt other players - Use a Cure Potion to fully reverse the transformation and restore your health

🛡️ Safezone System

- Create protected areas where zombies cannot spawn or enter - Each player can own up to 3 safezones (configurable) - Safezones start with a 10-block radius and can be expanded up to 50 blocks - Optional border particles to visualize safezone boundaries

🌍 Per-World Configuration

- Configure different zombie behavior for each world (Overworld, Nether, End) - Per-world settings for mutation rates, spawn rates, damage, speed, and health multipliers - Enable fire immunity, teleportation abilities, or restrict which mutations can spawn - Override spawn time modes and zombie caps per world

🎚️ Difficulty Presets

Four built-in difficulty presets that adjust multiple settings at once:

| Preset | Description | |--------|-------------| | Nightmare | Relaxed experience — fewer zombies, lower infection chance, slower scaling | | Nightmare | Standard balanced experience | | Nightmare | Challenging survival — more zombies, higher mutation rates, stronger enemies | | Nightmare | Brutal difficulty — maximum spawns, very high infection chance, no golden apple cures |

🧠 Advanced Zombie AI

- Sunlight Protection — Zombies remember players they've seen and pursue them - Sunlight Protection — Sprinting, eating, shooting bows, and placing torches attract nearby zombies - Sunlight Protection — Zombies form groups with leaders that coordinate attacks - Sunlight Protection — Zombies can break through doors, fences, and chests to reach players (configurable per-block cooldowns) - Sunlight Protection — Zombies don't burn in sunlight by default (configurable)
