This mod requires Cardinal Components API.
In Minecraft, villagers can become zombies when killed by other zombies, however the player cannot. This mod fixes that.
To become a zombie, you must die to a zombie, after which you will not die, but instead be resurrected where you died as a zombie
This mod is technically not required on the client, however all rendering (such as shaders, zombie arms, etcetera) happens on the client, and won't work if the mod isn't installed on the client.
As a zombie, your hotbar is reduced to just your offhand item and your mainhand item. You are incapable of interacting with villagers and you will burn in the daylight, however normally hostile mobs will leave you be. All food except for golden apples, rotten flesh, and other detrimental foods will give you the hunger status effect. You are able to gain food by attacking players or villagers. You also cannot enter a swimming state.
The process of curing oneself of zombification is the same as it would be for a zombie villager; the weakness status effect and a golden apple.
