## 💀 Chaos Mode

Chaos Mode is where the real nightmare begins. Enable it with a single command and the world descends into total zombie apocalypse.

How to Enable

### Day & Night Cycle

Chaos Mode features a dynamic day/night difficulty system:

**☀️ Daytime (Safer… relatively)**
– Zombie HP: 10
– Zombie Speed: 0.18 (very slow, shambling undead)
– Zombie Attack: 3-5 damage
– Spawn Rate: 0-1 zombies per player per second
– Use this time to scavenge, craft, and fortify your base

**🌙 Nighttime (Pure Terror)**
– Zombie HP: 20
– Zombie Speed: 0.33 (fast, aggressive pursuit)
– Zombie Attack: 5-8 damage
– Spawn Rate: 1-3 zombies per player per second
– Massive hordes surround you from every direction
– Survival is not guaranteed

### Chaos Mode Zombie Abilities

**🌊 Water Adaptation**
Zombies are no longer stopped by water. In Chaos Mode, all zombies:
– Have permanent Water Breathing effect
– Swim at high speed with Dolphin’s Grace
– Never drown — their air supply constantly resets
– Will chase you across oceans, rivers, and lakes

There is no safe water escape.

**🚪 Door Breaking**
Forget hiding behind doors. Chaos Mode zombies:
– Instantly destroy any door (wood or iron) within 1 block
– Check for doors every 0.5 seconds
– Doors drop as items when broken
– No door can stop the horde

**🔥 Sunlight Immunity**
Zombies in Chaos Mode do not burn in sunlight. Fire from sun exposure is immediately extinguished. Daylight offers reduced zombie strength but not safety from existing zombies.

**👶 No Baby Zombies**
All baby zombies are automatically converted to adults. No more tiny speedsters ruining your day.

**🚫 Monster Exclusion**
In Chaos Mode, only zombies, bandits, and veteran bandits spawn naturally. Creepers, spiders, skeletons, and other monsters are blocked from natural spawning, creating a pure zombie apocalypse atmosphere.

**🥚 Spawn Eggs Still Work**
Want to test something or add variety? Spawn eggs bypass the monster block and work normally. You can still summon any mob with spawn eggs.

## 🐄 Hostile Wildlife System

In Chaos Mode, the animals are not your friends.

### How It Works
1. You attack any neutral mob (cow, sheep, pig, chicken, etc.)
2. **ALL neutral mobs within a 50-block radius** become hostile toward you
3. They aggressively chase you at high speed for 10 seconds
4. They deal 4 damage (2 hearts) every 0.5 seconds when close
5. Animals apply light knockback on hit

### Affected Mobs
Every non-monster mob retaliates, including:
– Cows, Sheep, Pigs, Chickens
– Iron Golems (at their normal speed)
– Horses, Donkeys, Mules
– Cats, Dogs, Foxes
– Rabbits, Turtles
– Villagers
– And any other non-hostile mob

### Animal HP
All animals in Chaos Mode have their HP set to 10 (5 hearts), making them tougher than normal.

### Daytime Animal Spawns
During daytime, extra animals spawn around players every 3 seconds:
– 1-2 animals per player (Cows, Sheep, Pigs, Chickens)
– Spawn 20-50 blocks away from players
– This means more resources… but also more potential enemies if you start a fight

**Strategy Tip:** Animals are a valuable food source, but think twice before attacking. One punch could turn a peaceful meadow into a battlefield.

## 👤 Custom Entities

### Bandits
Hostile human survivors roaming the world. They come in 9 different skin variants and pose a serious threat to unprepared players.

### Veteran Bandits
Elite bandit variants with enhanced combat abilities. Much more dangerous than regular bandits.

### Special Forces
Military-themed hostile entities. The most organized human threat you’ll encounter.

### Infected Zombies
Created when the Virus infects living entities. Infected zombies retain the appearance of their original form.

### Fugitives
Passive human NPCs found in the world. They can be infected by the virus and turned into zombies.

### Corpses
When entities die, they leave behind corpse entities that remain in the world. Corpses go through visual decay stages.

## 🔫 Weapons & Items

### Butcher Knife

### Machine Gun

### Drops
Zombies and entities drop unique items:
– **Human Meat** — Food item
– **Brain** — Rare drop
– **Stomach** — Rare drop
– **Small Intestine** — Rare drop

—

## 🦠 Virus System

A deadly infection mechanic:
– Entities can become infected with the Virus effect
– Infected entities transform into Infected Zombies upon death
– The infection spreads the horror across the world
– Bandits, Veteran Bandits, Fugitives, and Zombies can all be infected

—

## 🏗️ World Generation

– **Zombie Hideouts** — Small zombie-infested structures
– **Large Zombie Hideouts** — Bigger variant with more loot and danger
