WayZ is inspired by the French series HuntherZ created by GussDx.
It also draws inspiration from well-known servers such as Decimation and Minekov.

The project began a long time ago — back in 2017!
We started working on it when we were only 14 years old, using Minecraft Forge 1.7.10.
Today, the project has grown significantly, and we’re now developing on Fabric 1.16.5.

The default assets were created by 3D3N and Vulga, while the entire codebase was developed by me (Niwer).
We’ve built almost everything from scratch — from the animation system (yes, GeckoLib didn’t exist back then) to the NPCs and the optimized OBJ renderer.

The mod is closed-source, but we’ve implemented a content pack system that lets you build your own server by creating your own props, vehicles, guns, melee weapons, and armor.
Basically, every item you see in the default content packs is not hardcoded!

(All the features below can be added via a simple JSON file inside a content pack.)

• NPCs — Followers, Traders, Bandits, and more
• Guns — With attachments, dirt, blood, and snow effects
• Melee Weapons — Throwable and customizable
• Grenades — Smoke, explosive, flashbangs, and molotovs
• Armor — With internal slots, similar to Tarkov, DayZ, and other modern survival games
• Medical Items — Manage broken legs, blood types, infections, and diseases
• Integrated Voice Chat — With working walkie-talkies
• Ambient Sounds — Dynamic soundscapes
• Custom Sound Physics — Interacting naturally with props
• Zones — Radiation, safe zones, and named areas
• Airdrops
• Looting System
• Props — With collisions, rotation, scaling, and no placement limits
• Controllers support - Dualshock, Dualsense, Xbox and more !
• Zombies, of course
• And so much more (really!)

⚠️ The mod is not intended to work with other mods. We highly recommend using the official modpack instead.

• Iris
• Sodium
• ConnectedTexturesMod
• Mod Menu
• Pehkui
