Rise and Survive – Progressive Zombie Apocalypse.

Rise and Survive is a progression-based apocalypse addon where zombies grow stronger every day.

Evolving Zombies & Growing Difficulty

• A dynamic difficulty bar increases every day, boosting zombie spawn rates.

• Every 8 days, zombies move faster, grow stronger, and may unlock new abilities.

• Higher difficulty = higher chance of zombies spawning with armor and weapons.****

Unique Zombie Classes - Each zombie type brings new threats, new behaviors, and new strategies:

• Miner Zombies – break blocks to reach you (faster on higher difficulty).

• Block Placer Zombies – tower up, bridge, and chase you no matter how high you build.

• Witch Zombies – throw and drink potions.

• Bomber Zombies – throw TNT (damage-only).

• Ender Zombies – teleport using ender pearls.

• Jumpers – leap at you and onto blocks.

• Crawlers – crawl through small spaces.

• Revealers – scream to expose your location, then flee.

• Spitter - shoots spit from a distance.

Horde Leaders

• Giant – jumps and summons fangs.

• Tank – incredibly tough.

• Necromancer – summons more zombies.

• Zombies can also spawn with various potion effects like Speed or Fire Resistance.

• All vanilla hostile mobs are disabled, but their loot is obtainable by killing zombies.

Horde & Blood Moon System

• Bloodmoon occurs every 8 days

• Hordes spawn randomly 15 blocks away, always aware of your location.

• Horde size scales with difficulty (customizable in settings).

Blood Moon:

World Interaction

• Using horns or bells attracts zombies instantly.
