zombie and infected iron golem
- Iron golems that die to zombies (or existing zombie iron golems) now immediately respawn as a zombie iron golem at the same spot, keeping any custom name.
- Zombie iron golems move faster than normal (higher base movement speed) and will actively target nearby regular iron golems to spread the infection.
- A zombie iron golem killing a standard iron golem will convert it, allowing the infection to chain through village defenders.
- The undead variant keeps the rest of the iron golem behavior so it still defends villages and roams as usual.
- You can summon one directly for testing with
/summon zombieandinfectedirongolem:zombie_iron_golem.
Known notes:
- Because this adds a custom entity type, connecting clients must have the mod installed to see and interact with zombie iron golems correctly on a server.
