What this mod does
Zombie Nights, by PedriJoe, launches a zombie invasion around players every night, and each night is a bit worse than the last. The goal is simple: hold out until dawn.
How it works
- Zombies only spawn between 20:00 and 05:00 (in-game time), in waves every 10 to 30 seconds.
- Each night’s cap is 10 zombies plus 2 for every night that has passed, up to a maximum of 32.
- There are several zombie variants, each with its own minimum spawn radius and unlock threshold.
- In the morning, the mod’s zombies disappear on their own.
- It can award PJ Money coins and HySkills experience if you have them installed.
Configuration
Everything is in ZombieNights.json, in the server’s config folder: intervals, base cap, increase per night, absolute cap, zombies per wave, how many nights between invasions, and start and end times. Numeric values can be changed in-game with /zombienights or /zn, without restarting.
It requires PJ CoreLib and is compatible with PJ BloodMoon, Mob Events and PJ Difficulty, by the same author. Version 1.4.3 (October 1, 2026) is for Hytale 0.6. With Update 7, released October 12, 2026, wait for a compatible file before using it on an important world.
Update (Oct 12, 2026): with Update 7 (0.7) now available, the author has already published a compatible file: version 1.4.4 (October 12, 2026). What this page describes was checked with the previous version; check the author’s changelog in case anything has changed.

Common problems

Up to 10 on the first night; each night that passes adds 2 to the cap, up to a maximum of 32. Everything is configurable.

Yes, by default (NightInterval = 1). You can make it every 2, 3 or more nights.
Do the zombies stick around in the morning?
No: the ones the mod spawns are removed automatically at dawn.
Do I need to restart to change the settings?
Not for numeric values: you change them in-game with /zombienights or /zn.
