**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?

Evolved Zombies

These custom mobs can be easily experimented with by using their dedicated spawn eggs. To obtain a spawn egg, type `/function zombies_evolved:_item/__spawn_egg/give/_`. Of course, replace "" with the type of evolved zombie that you want to spawn. **Jacky** - Jackies are characterized by carved pumpkins, impish chuckles, and a distinct whininess. Try not to let them touch you! With a tendency to pilfer the weapons and armor of nearby friends and foes, they can be a rather mischievous variant of zombie. Each new piece of equipment lights them up like a lantern. Despite their innate greediness, postmortem, they do well in returning what they steal. 3 out of 100 zombies spawn as a jacky. **Shrieker** - The terror of the caves, the embodiment of horror, the shrieker takes the warden anywhere you and your pickaxe go. Be careful about how you whack it, or you might be in for a lot more trouble than you started out with. 1 out of 50 underground zombies spawn as a shrieker. **Stalac** - Named after what they emulate, stalacs are opportunistic predators that lay strewn across the ceilings of dripstone caves. Be sure to get the drop on them, before they get the drop on you. Roughly 1 out of 5 zombies that spawn in dripstone caves spawn as a stalac. You can spawn a hanging stalac by right clicking the underside of most blocks with its spawn egg.

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. ## 🟧 Credit
