Datapack: The Fallen Overworld - The Realm of the Living Dead

Initially, I created this datapack to play with friends on a private 1.16.5 server. We enjoyed the gameplay so much that we continue to use it even now on a new 1.19 server.

Watch the demonstration video for this datapack:

Key Features

When this datapack is activated, your nights will be filled with terror as you face countless hordes of zombies capable of chasing their targets very quickly. Other hostile mobs disappear from the game - now all your attention will be focused exclusively on zombies. The same fate befalls farm animals such as pigs, cows, sheep, and chickens - finding food becomes a real challenge.
