The game crashes when a player dies while infected, triggering the spawn of a Zombie Player entity. The crash log points to a ClassCastException, where the entity net.smileycorp.hordes.common.entities.ZombiePlayer cannot be cast to net.minecraft.world.entity.player.Player. The issue appears to be related to rendering, specifically player model layers.

Expected Behavior

• Upon dying while infected, a Zombie Player should spawn and function normally.

Actual Behavior

• The game crashes instantly when the Zombie Player is supposed to appear.

Error Details (Crash Log Excerpt)

java.lang.ClassCastException: class net.smileycorp.hordes.common.entities.ZombiePlayer cannot be cast to class net.minecraft.world.entity.player.Player

	at net.smileycorp.hordes.client.render.ZombiePlayerCapeLayer.render(ZombiePlayerCapeLayer.java:59)

Additional Notes

The issue is likely related to player model rendering when the infected player transforms into a Zombie Player upon death.

Tested with and without Oculus & Complementary Shaders, crash occurs regardless.
No other mods directly affecting player models except Entity Model Features.

Additionally I want to comment that I have discovered the problem, and it is that due to an update of a texture pack, the entity/texture of the Zombie Player crashes the server.
I leave this issue open in case it is an error on your part or it can be fixed.
