Better Zombies Textures

This texture modification addresses Minecraft's monotonous zombie encounters by implementing an extensive visual overhaul featuring over 100 distinct undead variants. The system eliminates the repetitive single-texture approach through environmental adaptation mechanics that create contextual zombie appearances based on their spawning locations.

Environmental Adaptation System

Each biome produces zombies with appropriate environmental modifications that reflect prolonged exposure to local conditions. Swamp-dwelling undead display algae growth and waterlogged clothing, while jungle variants feature parasitic vine infestations. Arctic zombies retain frozen clothing fragments, and drowned pirates maintain nautical equipment remnants from their maritime origins.

Desert husks undergo mummification processes complete with burial wrapping textures, creating authentic preserved corpse aesthetics that distinguish them from standard zombie variants.

Spawn Distribution Framework

The pack implements a tiered rarity system with 75 common variants spawning naturally within appropriate biomes, establishing logical connections between environment and appearance. Fifteen rare variants appear at reduced frequencies, creating discovery moments that reward exploration and observation.

Thirteen named variants receive unique design treatment, including stylized character interpretations, seasonal themed zombies, and one hidden variant accessible only through specific conditions. These special encounters transform routine combat into curiosity-driven experiences.

Version Configurations

The full implementation includes complete biome-specific spawning with variant distribution across all environmental zones. The lightweight version restricts diversity to standard overworld zombies while preserving all husk and drowned variations, accommodating performance-conscious users.
