Zombieium

Zombieium turns Minecraft nights into a focused zombie survival experience.

While enabled, the mod: - Spawns vanilla Zombies around players at night (configurable distance, interval, amount, and nearby cap) - (Optionally) keeps the Overworld hostile-mob roster “zombie-only” by removing other hostile mobs as they load - Adds a Boss Event: after midnight, a red beam marks a player—and when it ends, Zombieium arrives (bossbar, buffs, boosted stats, and dramatic arrival effects)

Features

Night zombie spawner - Configurable min/max spawn distance - Configurable zombies per cycle + spawn interval - Configurable max nearby zombies per player (prevents runaway swarms)

Target filtering - Optional: skip creative players - Optional: skip spectators

Boss Event

- Configurable minimum night, chance %, beam duration - Boss stats tuning: max health, speed, follow range, attack damage multipliers - Optional boss chat announcements + bossbar

Config UI - Works with ModMenu (in-game settings screen) - Also stored as config/zombieium.json

Debug mode - Extra info in chat/logs about spawns and failures
