Timless’ Simple Zombie Infection

Timeless Simple Zombie Infection adds a slow, deadly infection system to Minecraft. Getting hit by a zombie isn’t just a minor inconvenience anymore — it could be a death sentence. The infection spreads through multiple stages over time, getting worse the longer you ignore it. Penalties stack up, your options narrow, and if you wait too long, you die and come back as one of them. The good news? Everything you were carrying comes back with you. Your items sit inside the zombie until someone kills it and picks them up. No item loss, ever.

The mod comes with suppressor and antidote syringes to give you a fighting chance, a HUD indicator so you always know how bad things are, and infection commands for server admins or modpack makers who want more control. The zombification system handles full inventories, Curios slots, and Sophisticated Backpacks without breaking a sweat — all stored safely and dropped when the zombie goes down.

It’s designed to make survival feel genuinely threatening. If you’re building or playing in a zombie apocalypse, wasteland, horror, or hardcore modpack, this fits right in.

Modpacks & Videos
Want to throw this in your modpack? Go for it — I’d actually love to see it in more packs. Same goes for YouTube videos, streams, or any kind of content. You don’t need to ask permission, just drop a credit and a link back to this page somewhere visible. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy — a mention in the description or the modpack listing is more than enough. It helps the mod get found by people who might enjoy it, and honestly it’s just nice to know where it ends up.
