Improved Zombies Model FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need MythicMobs to use this mod?
No, MythicMobs is optional. The mod works with ModelEngine alone, but MythicMobs integration lets you easily configure and spawn the enhanced zombies with pre-built settings.
Why aren't the new zombie models showing up?
Make sure the ModelEngine model files are placed in the correct plugin folder and your server was fully restarted after installation. Check your server logs for any errors related to model loading.
Can I use this with vanilla zombie spawning?
The enhanced models replace vanilla zombies visually, but you'll need to use your plugin's spawn commands (like `/mm summon`) to see the new animations and death effects in action.
Do baby zombies and husks get new models too?
Yes, the pack includes completely remade models for baby zombie and baby husk variants, along with all their animations.
How many different death animations are there?
There are three distinct death animations that play based on how the zombie is defeated, making combat feel more dynamic and varied.
Will this mod lag my server?
The smooth animations and detailed models have minimal performance impact on most servers, but spawning large numbers of enhanced zombies simultaneously may affect weaker hardware.
Can I customize the zombie models or animations?
If using MythicMobs, you can modify the provided configuration files to adjust behavior and appearance; otherwise, the models are fixed to the pack's design.
Do the husks look different from regular zombies?
Yes, husks have a completely new, more detailed appearance distinct from standard zombies, making them visually recognizable as a separate threat.
What happens if I don't restart my server after installing?
The new models and animations won't load properly, and you'll likely see missing textures or default zombie models instead of the enhanced versions.
Are the attack animations different from vanilla?
Yes, the mod includes enhanced attack animations that make zombie combat encounters more engaging and visually distinct from the default behavior.
