## Undead Variants<\/p>\n
**Undead Variants** is a small, content-focused mod that fills in missing undead variants found in vanilla Minecraft.<\/p>\n
Rather than introducing new systems or mechanics, this mod focuses on extending existing vanilla logic in ways that feel consistent and lore-friendly.
\nAll behaviors are built on top of vanilla rules, code paths, and conventions.<\/p>\n
The goal is to expand the world in a natural way, without altering how Minecraft fundamentally works.<\/p>\n
