Changes
Smart Zombie 1.2.0 — Changelog
✨ New Features
- Horde Spawning — 20% of natural zombie spawns now bring 2–3 buddy zombies (the classic group-spawn mechanic is back!). Configurable via
zombieGroupChance. - Glass Is No Longer Safe — zombies can now break every glass block and pane (18 glass blocks + 17 panes). Build your walls out of something sturdier.
- Creeper Dismounts on Damage — while a zombie carries a creeper, if either of them takes damage, the creeper drops off and its AI is restored.
🛠 Fixes
- No more stuck-on-torches — zombies no longer freeze forever in front of a torch they can't reach (scan height narrowed to ±1 block + 5-second give-up timeout).
- No more frozen giants — large/slow zombies (from randomized size scaling) no longer stand still forever when pathfinding fails in tight terrain; they now automatically re-path.
- Improved targeting diagnostics to help future bug reports.
📝 Notes
- Config version bumped to 1.2.0 — existing config is fully preserved (no reset).
- Requires Minecraft 1.21.1 · Fabric Loader 0.19.3+ · Fabric API.
Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
