{% hint style="danger" %} Hordes has been implemented as part of the Blood Moon event. Hordes will become a standalone feature in the future. Watch this space. {% endhint %}
Hordes. This is the main event whenever a zombie apocalypse happens.
A horde happens when a player stays in the same area for a while. More and more zombies appear and take over an area, causing the player to be overwhelmed.
When enough zombies have congregated in the same area the player will suddenly get a bad feeling. This is only the start. Once a horde has started it causes a surge in one type of zombie.
The zombie type that increases is chosen at random. How much they increase by depends on the config.yml configuration.
{% hint style="info" %} Any horde effects only apply to zombies that spawn during a horde. Zombies which existed prior to the start of a horde event are not affected. {% endhint %}
Players using the premium version of UndeadPandemic will notice something slightly different. The type of zombie that appears more often is influenced by what biome the player is in.
This is not configurable. But some examples are:
Slow zombies appear more often in colder biomes.
Strong zombies appear more often in harsher biomes such as deserts and swamps.
Fast zombies appear more often in biomes with very few hiding places, such as deserts, plains, and badlands (mesa).
Stupid zombies appear more often in places with a lot of flora, such as mushroom islands and jungles.
