ZombieBuff

# ZombieBuff: Hardcore Apocalypse Engine

**ZombieBuff** is a comprehensive server-side overhaul for **Minecraft Forge 1.20.1** that transforms the world into a relentless zombie apocalypse. By integrating with high-end mob mods, it replaces almost the entire monster population with buffed, intelligent, and terrifyingly powerful undead.

This mod is a core component of the **SimpleTarkov** experience, adding a layer of extreme PvE survival to every raid.

## 🧟 Enhanced Undead Features

Every zombie in your world is now a formidable threat:
*   **Insane Stats:** Health pools range from **250 HP to a massive 800 HP**.
*   **Tactical AI:** Zombies now **react to sounds**, track players more effectively, and have the ability to **break down doors**.
*   **Improved Mobility:** Expect increased movement speeds and specialized zombies that can **leap great heights** to reach you.
*   **Ranged Threats:** Some undead can now throw **harmful slowness potions**, trapping you for the horde.
*   **Infection System:** Every hit carries the risk of the **Zombie Virus**. Once infected, you have **3 minutes** to craft a cure before succumbing.
    *   **The Cure:** Collect **4 Rotten Flesh** and craft them in a 2x2 pattern (like a workbench) to create the **Anti-Virus Serum**.

## 📉 Dynamic Spawning & Scaling

The horde is always nearby. Zombies spawn dynamically around players based on the time of day:
*   **Daytime Limit:** Up to **90** active zombies globally.
*   **Nighttime Limit:** The horde swells up to **130** active zombies.

## 💬 Admin Commands (OP Required)

Manage the apocalypse in real-time with the following commands:
*   `/zombiebuff status` — View the current number of active zombies on the server.
*   `/zombiebuff limit <number>` — Dynamically adjust the global spawn limit to increase or decrease difficulty.
*   `/zombiebuff clear` — Instantly wipe all active zombies from the world (useful for performance or event resets).
