    About

    Plants & Zombies brings Plants vs. Zombies characters and mechanics into Minecraft as a survival-oriented mod, with more than 20 mobs and a range of distinctive blocks and items. Helpful plants, including examples such as Bonk Choy, Doom-Shroom, and Sea-Shroom, can be found in particular habitats, from bamboo jungles and savannas to basalt deltas, oceans, and rivers. Players use Sun to tame and place plants and to obtain seeds; Sun comes from sun-producing plants or, in smaller amounts, from killing plants. Plants need water to grow, which can come from rain, water bottles, buckets, or watering cans, and watering can reduce the Sun needed for plants to produce seeds after waking. Plants must be placed on suitable ground or in pots, where pots improve their defense against enemies; some plants have more specific placement rules, such as Wall Nut growing on most solid blocks and Potatomine on sand or gravel. Zombies appear naturally, with occasional flag-carrying Leaders that have extra health and summon reinforcements, while other special zombie types emerge under particular conditions or during Zombie Raids. The mod also includes encounters such as Digger Zombies, Disco Zombies, Gargantuars, Browncoats, and Newspaper Zombies, with some aquatic zombies appearing in lakes and oceans while wearing Ducky Tubes. A Solar Battery stores Sun, gathers it automatically from nearby plants, and can support Sun-based plant interactions; its light and redstone output vary with its stored amount. Mailboxes let players send and receive mail, and can be accessed across loaded chunks within the same dimension.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · The latest file checked, last on 23 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      1 latest file, for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.
      Read without running it
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.
      Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends

    We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · Its one file read
    • Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.
      The code of its one file, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.
      Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.

    AI

    No sign so far that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and sounds and found none.

    We have not read its code history yet.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
