Vanilla zombies are boring. All they do is just stick out their arms and swing them at you. Nothing special
Now it's pretty much the same, but with more life put into it.
All animations are made with the intent of making it look more like a zombie, while barely keeping that vanilla style.
Everything, from the sounds, textures, and animations feel like rotting flesh.
There are quite a lot of variety* in the skins and yet none of them will ever look modded in any way, shape, or form.
*there aren't many skins in the early stages of this resource pack, but skins are added every update!
--> Requires optifine for vanilla players! Requires EMF and ETF for modded players!

It is made for Minecraft 1.20. On other versions Minecraft marks it as incompatible, but it often still works.
