Presidential Zombie Apocalypse

Quickstart

1. Install the .mcaddon and apply both the Behavior Pack and Resource Pack to your world.
2. Load into any world on Easy difficulty or higher — the invasion begins immediately on world load.
3. Watch the action bar at the bottom of your screen for status messages and warnings.
4. Within moments, 100 of each of the five president zombie variants (500 total) will spawn in a ring around you, 24–64 blocks away.
5. Survive the first night — when darkness falls, your action bar will warn you that the horde has surged in power. Fight, fortify, and adapt.

To manually spawn a specific variant in Creative mode, find their spawn eggs in the Creative inventory (search "President").

Overview

Presidential Zombie Apocalypse replaces every vanilla zombie with one of five undead U.S. presidents — Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kennedy, and Obama. These are not ordinary zombies. They never burn in sunlight, never despawn, and grow more dangerous with each passing Minecraft day. Each dawn brings a fresh wave of 500 new presidential undead, and the hordes that survive grow faster over time. At night, the entire horde receives a significant power surge. Your world will be progressively overrun unless you stay ahead of the threat.

What It Adds

President Zombie Variants

All five variants share the same core mechanics but have unique textures and individual spawn eggs.

Each variant can also appear as a baby form, which is smaller and faster than the adult.

Abilities And Mechanics

Daily Invasion

Once per Minecraft day, 100 of each president zombie variant (500 total per day cycle) spawn in a ring around every active player, between 24 and 64 blocks away. This happens automatically at world load and once per day thereafter, as long as at least one player is online. A chat message confirms each wave: "Presidential Zombie Apocalypse: 100 of each president variant have risen today."

No Despawn, No Burning

President zombies are immune to daylight damage and will never naturally despawn. Every zombie that survives adds to a growing permanent population in your world.

Evolution — Growing Faster Over Time

Each president zombie tracks how many days it has been alive. As days pass, survivors gain increasing speed buffs:

• Early days: moderate speed boost.
• Every 5 days survived: speed increases by one tier (up to a cap).
• Older zombies are noticeably faster than freshly spawned ones — the longer the horde lives, the more dangerous it becomes.

Night Surge

When night falls (roughly in-game time 13000–23000), all president zombies within 96 blocks of a player receive amplified effects:

• Strength II (doubled attack power)
• Speed boosted by an extra tier based on age
• Resistance II (roughly 40% damage reduction)

Your action bar will display: "Night surge: President zombies are 40% stronger and more aggressive."

During the day, it instead reminds you: "Daylight won't save you: president zombies do not burn or despawn."

Block Destruction

President zombies periodically destroy blocks in a 3×3×3 area around themselves, including:

• All dirt variants (dirt, grass, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, podzol)
• All wood logs (oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, cherry)
• All wood planks (same wood types)
• All wooden doors (same wood types)
• Iron doors

This means wooden shelters, log cabins, and iron-door fortifications are not safe — the horde will literally tear through them.

Door Breaking

In addition to the block destruction above, president zombies can actively break doors as part of their pathfinding behavior, just like vanilla hard-mode zombies.

Drowned Transformation

If a president zombie stays submerged in water long enough (30 seconds), it converts into a standard Minecraft Drowned. Keep this in mind near oceans, rivers, or flooded areas.

Jockey Behavior

Baby president zombies can mount adult president zombies of the same variant, creating a jockey pair that moves faster and is harder to deal with.

Crafting And Obtaining

There are no crafted items in this mod. All president zombies spawn naturally through the invasion system or can be summoned in Creative mode using their respective spawn eggs found in the Creative inventory.

Drops And Loot

All five president zombie variants share the same loot table:

Adults drop 5 XP base (plus bonus per equipped item); babies drop 12 XP base (plus bonus).

Progression And Strategy

Days 1–3 — Establish a Secure Base The first waves are your easiest. Build your initial base using stone, brick, or other non-destructible materials. Avoid wood logs, planks, and wooden or iron doors — use trapdoors, fences, or other materials the horde cannot destroy.

Days 3–7 — Manage the Growing Horde Survivors from earlier days are getting faster. Clear out lingering zombies during the day whenever possible to prevent the population from compounding. The horde does not despawn.

Night Strategy — Defensive Priority When you see the night surge warning on your action bar, avoid open combat if possible. President zombies at night have doubled attack, boosted speed, and significant damage resistance. Use ranged weapons, traps, and elevated positions. Beds are your best friend — sleeping through the night skips the surge window.

Long-Term — Thin the Herd Aggressively Each day adds 500 more zombies permanently. Without active culling, your world will become nearly impassable. Establish kill zones, use lava traps, and prioritize older (faster) zombies first. The goal is to keep the permanent population from growing faster than you can eliminate it.

Water Caution Avoid fighting near water. President zombies that fall into rivers or oceans may convert into Drowned, adding a new underwater threat.
