Catacraft

While exploring the lifeless expanses of this world, you'll encounter eerie reminders of a once-developed civilization - ruins of old structures and remnants of a flourishing society that has turned into piles of destroyed buildings. Dangers lurk at every step in the form of aggressive creatures fighting for survival in these harsh conditions.

Key Features

Abandoned ruins are scattered throughout the world, occasionally hiding rare items, though more often containing common junk. Larger destroyed cities are filled with empty buildings containing valuable supplies, but staying there too long can attract zombie hordes. Suburban areas with deserted streets and abandoned houses are often found around cities. Survivor camps are also scattered across the world, hiding important resources for continued existence. Most natural zones have become more inhospitable - almost no animals remain, and food has become significantly scarcer.

Additional Changes

Dead bushes slow the movement of all entities. Standing on unstable mangrove roots risks causing their collapse. Moving and sneaking through tall vegetation grants the invisibility effect. Running on dirt paths gives Speed I. Cobwebs now deal damage like sweet berry bushes. Zombies gained the ability to break torches and glass blocks, can summon companions when attacked, and have become significantly stronger.

Zombie Variety

New specialized zombie types have appeared:

• Farmer Zombie - destroys crops when walking over them, can spawn as zombie villagers with wooden, stone, or iron hoes
• Miner Zombie - armed with a pickaxe and capable of breaking almost all blocks except wooden ones
• Lumberjack Zombie - uses an axe to destroy wooden structures
• Shield Zombie - protects other zombies from arrows using a shield that gradually breaks
• Toxic Zombie - slow-moving but emits a poisonous cloud that poisons nearby players, recognizable by azalea plants on its head
• Infested Zombie - with a skeleton skull on its head, spawns silverfish when players approach
• Nurse Zombie - in light blue leather armor, periodically heals surrounding zombies
• Baby Zombie Tower - sometimes spawns as a stack of five baby zombies, multiplying the danger
