📋 About This Mod
This mod makes ALL zombie's Melee Range lower and more realistic. It is fully configurable by anybody, and default values are listed.
Effectively makes Zombie Melee range 1 block. Seeing how 1 block = 1 meter and 1 meter = 3. 28ft, I don't see the point in having Zombie arms seem 4 ft+ long. Not very Realistic if you ask me. Hence this mod.
If the value is a bit too low you can easily edit the file in 30 seconds.
