Defending Against Zombie Sieges

Preparing Your Base

Zombies in this mod are relentless hunters that will actively breach your defenses. They can break weak blocks like wood and doors, place blocks to climb walls, and dig tunnels through terrain. Build with stronger materials like stone or obsidian for critical walls.

Zombies detect players up to 100 blocks away visually and hear sounds from 50 blocks out, so distance alone won't protect you. During Blood Moon events (every 7-15 days), spawn rates quadruple—prepare extra defenses before nightfall.

Elite zombie types pose special threats: Trappers set TNT and lava traps, Resurrectors revive fallen undead, and Assassins strike from darkness. Use /smartzombies config to review current settings and /smartzombies trapper cleartraps to remove placed traps. Consider adjusting spawn rates with /smartzombies spawnchance if the challenge becomes overwhelming.
