Addon: Rise and Survive – Progressive Zombie Apocalypse

Rise and Survive turns Minecraft into a progressive zombie apocalypse: evolving undead, hordes and blood moons, infection, new defenses, weapons and visuals that make every day harder than the last.

Created By Ranzie

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:

Sleep disabled.
100% chance of 1–2 horde events.
Zombies always know where you are.

World Interaction

Using horns or bells attracts zombies instantly.
Taking damage releases blood scent (detectable up to 10 blocks).
Faster Java-style regeneration included.

Infection System

Zombies can infect players on hit.
Infection chance customizable (0–100%).
Infected players will collapse after the timer.
Golden Apple = the only cure.

Visual Enhancements

Blood screen effects (with compatible visual packs).
New zombie skins & animations (Fresh Animations inspired).
Realistic block-breaking particles.
Glowing eye effects when using Vibrant Visuals.

New Blocks & Defenses

Wired Fence
Cheval Fence
Wired Wall
Chain fence (they can't break it until difficulty: 75.0)
Spiked Plate
Spiked Fence (zombies can’t break the reinforced one)

These blocks damage zombies and help control hordes.

New Weapons

Bolo – chops wood.
Katana – fast slashes.
Dagger – rapid attacks.
Saber – huge sweeping damage.
Longsword – wide sweep radius.
Hammer – powerful crit hits.

Rotten flesh becomes useful:

Raw Flesh → Cooked Flesh → Leather.

If you want a hardcore, cinematic, mechanically deep zombie apocalypse, this is the add-on you’ve been searching for. Everything evolves. Everything hunts you. Every day is harder than the last.
