Survive a Zombie Siege in Your Base

Prepare Your Defenses

Zombies in this mod are far more dangerous than vanilla—they can break through blocks and detonate TNT, making traditional walls ineffective. Start by reinforcing critical areas with blast-resistant blocks like obsidian or deepslate around your storage and bed.

Defensive Strategy

Since zombies won't burn in sunlight, daytime offers no protection. Instead:

  • Create kill chambers with fall damage or suffocation traps rather than relying on fire
  • Use water channels to funnel zombies away from your base perimeter
  • Light up surrounding areas to reduce spawn rates, even though it won't stop them from attacking
  • Keep TNT away from your base—zombies will weaponize it against you
  • Build elevated platforms where you can attack from safety while they struggle to reach you

Active Defense

When under siege, engage zombies with a sword or bow from high ground. Their block-breaking ability means static defenses alone won't hold—you'll need to actively eliminate threats before they breach critical structures. Consider keeping an escape route to higher terrain where they're slower to pursue.
