Undead Patrol

Quickstart

1. Install the .mcaddon and activate both the behavior and resource packs on your world.
2. Load into your world and survive until the next in-game day — a horde of 5 Zombie Soldiers will automatically spawn around you at the start of each new day.
3. Watch for the green chat message: "An undead patrol horde has arrived: 5 zombie soldiers are closing in!"
4. Kill the Zombie Soldiers to loot the M4A1 Carbine — your primary tool for handling future hordes.
5. Hold the M4A1 Carbine and tap Use (right-click / screen tap) to fire it at enemies in your line of sight.

Overview

Undead Patrol adds a daily undead threat to your world. Every Minecraft day, a squad of armed Zombie Soldiers descends on each player. They shoot at range, hit hard in melee, and carry M4A1 Carbines — which drop as loot you can turn against the next horde. Survival requires preparation and quick reactions.

What It Adds

How To Use

The M4A1 Carbine

• Hold the M4A1 Carbine in your main hand.
• Tap/press Use to fire a shot in the direction you are looking.
• Shots hit the first valid entity within 45 blocks directly in your crosshair.
• Each shot deals 6 damage (3 hearts).
• There is a brief cooldown between shots — rapid-tapping will not fire faster.

Fighting Zombie Soldiers

• Zombie Soldiers will pursue you within 30 blocks and attack in melee.
• They also shoot at you from up to 28 blocks away, dealing 1 damage per shot with a roughly 1.75-second cooldown per soldier.
• With 45 HP each, soldiers are tankier than standard zombies — keep your distance and use the carbine.
• Soldiers can break doors, climb obstacles, and move through water.

Crafting And Obtaining

There are no crafting recipes for the M4A1 Carbine. The only way to obtain it in Survival is by killing Zombie Soldiers — each soldier always drops 1 M4A1 Carbine on death, along with 0–2 Rotten Flesh.

In Creative mode, use the Zombie Soldier Spawn Egg (found in the Equipment section of the Creative inventory) to spawn soldiers at will.

Daily Horde Event

• Once per in-game day, a horde of 5 Zombie Soldiers spawns around each player.
• Soldiers appear 12–20 blocks away from the player in a ring.
• The horde only spawns once per day per world — each new day resets the threat.
• The event triggers shortly after a new day begins and re-checks periodically, so logging in mid-day can still trigger a horde if it hasn't spawned yet that day.

Progression And Strategy

• Early days: The first horde arrives with no warning other than the chat message. Have armor and a weapon ready before sleeping or waiting out the night.
• Looting carbines: Each horde of 5 soldiers guarantees 5 M4A1 Carbines. Stock up — they are your best tool for future hordes.
• Kiting: Use the carbine's 45-block range to outrange the soldiers' 28-block shooting range. Stay mobile and pick them off before they close in.
• Chokepoints: Soldiers can break doors, so wooden-door defenses won't hold. Use iron doors or build elevated positions.
• Multiple players: Each player triggers their own horde, so on multiplayer servers the total number of soldiers spawned scales with the number of online players. Coordinate to share the fight or defend each other.
