I am being delayed by a variety of factors, but I will be trying to get an update out as soon as possible!
@Asharara
I will be fixing up bugs with gamemodule leakage in the next update!
@garythetomato
Hmm, not currently. Perhaps in a future update.
@TheCuttKing
I am working on recording a installation tutorial and explanation video. I hope to have it done soon!
Hi deApollo, I was wondering when you're next update will be also will the zombie's detection be altered in the next update?
Many thanks.
Hello, Great Plug-in just wanted to give you a quick heads up that it appears to bleed over into other worlds. May want to recheck your "Multiworld support!"settings. I'm seeing mob bleeding effects and Ender pearls are blowing up in peoples faces, back in the non-zombie worlds.
Is its it possible to set chest tiers?
Would you by any chance have a date of the tutorial realease? If so, please do message me or tell me when you can. Thanks..
@deApollo

Sorry about no update this weekend everyone, I was bogged down with other things that needed doing. I will tentatively set a release date for 0.9.1 sometime next week.
@deApollo
Are you still planning on having a release ready this weekend :)?
@TheCuttKing
Hmm, I suppose I could do a little tutorial video.
Hello deApollo,
I was wondering if there is any Setup Tutorial or Video considering that it is not easy to setup (for me). I was suggesting any help so that people downloading this plugin and using could have help instead of getting mad or going crazy. Please do try to reply. Thanks...
The zombies dont chase my players and don't even look at them from time to time.
@deApollo
Can you add options "disable notify die messages"? And i saw that zombies look players not immediately but after 1-2 seconds Thanks
upd. Plugin ignore worldguard flag "PvP"
Yes! Thank you for being able to respond so quickly, this plugin works amazingly and we would love to use it on our server, we just need it to work smoothly with multiverse and not bug out anything else in the real world
I'm going to try to have a release this weekend implementing a bunch of new suggested features and bug fixes!
Any ETA on a build with a worldguard hook? Also make sure grenades can't damage in worldguard regions.
Enchantment tables are disabled are not working even thou backtothedead is configured to our 'Zombie" world and our real world is messing up.
Could you also make it configurable to disable thirst and bleeding?
Awesome! Can you add next options:
-include-zombie-in-zombie-packs
-enable / disable drop drop from giants, children and normal zombies
num loot: [id:data] [amount] [%]
-enable / disable exp drop from giants, children and normal zombies
exp: [amount] [%]
-always night
Thank you!
@deApollo
Could you possibly add these features? I currently use TMC zombie SMP on my minez server. However he is quite inactive and I need updates as fast as yours! But his plugin has many good features which yours doesnt! Could you add the following?
Random teleport locations using a command like /joinz which would randomly teleport you to one of your pre set locations. Sort of like how the player would join the game.
The ability to customize your existing features with ticks and such. Like thirst, allow us to set max thirst level and also the ticks between thirst depletion each level as it drops. Same with bleeding.
A customizable starting kit spawned once per life when the player types the joining command, ex /joinz and you are teleported to random location pre set and your inventory is kitted with items defined in config.
Adding these features would really rival what TMC zombie SMP has to offer! Thanks!
@Chaosflo44
Not currently, I will be adding message configurability in 0.9.1
Is there a way to disable/change the custom death messages?
