ChaosZProject: Bandits!
Customizable Bandit Attacks for Survival and Post-Apocalyptic Modpacks
"You hear something outside... it doesn't sound friendly."
Add chaos, tension, and unpredictable threats to your gameplay with the ChaosZProject: Bandits! modification. This lightweight but powerful mod introduces random customizable bandit attacks, specifically designed for zombie apocalypse, hardcore survival, and post-apocalyptic themed modpacks.
Dynamic Bandit Attacks
Bandits don't wait for an invitation. They suddenly attack players at random times — while you're building, gathering resources, or traveling through the wilderness. These aren't just pillagers — they're fast, deadly, and constantly watching you.
Complete Behavior Customization
Everything is controlled through a simple JSON configuration file — no programming required!
You decide:
- ⏱️ How often attacks occur
- 🧍 How many bandits spawn
- 📍 How far away they appear
- 🌘 When they attack (day, night, or anytime)
- 🏃 How fast they move and from what distance they detect players
🎛️ Perfect for both simple adjustments and deep balancing in custom modpacks.
Atmospheric Pre-Attack Warnings
Before bandit attacks, players receive subtle but ominous hints:
"You hear something outside..." "The forest has gone quiet." "You get the feeling you're being watched."
A brief moment to panic, hide, or prepare.
Multiplayer Compatibility
Bandit attacks are tied to specific players, not global — so they naturally scale on servers. No more unfair hordes or situations where inactive players trigger attacks for everyone.

Bandits with firearms become a real survival threat — especially in apocalypse scenarios.
