Cursed Project - Zombie Apocalypse

Cursed Project – Zombie Apocalypse is built for tense, high-stakes multiplayer survival—and it runs great as a dedicated CreeperHost server. Instead of one player “hosting the world” and everyone else hoping it stays stable, you get a proper always-online apocalypse that your group can jump into whenever the streets look a little too quiet.

• Keep the apocalypse online 24/7 — no relying on a friend’s PC to be on (and stable) for everyone to play
• Handle heavy spawn pressure and exploration with CreeperHost’s stable, native CPU performance on our hybrid VPS platform
• Skip the manual server setup with one-click modpack installation and straightforward server file management
• Avoid the usual self-hosting pain points: RAM limits, home network upload bottlenecks, and random “it lagged and rolled back” moments
• Get help when it gets chaotic with built-in tooling to diagnose lag and performance issues when hordes, bases, and new chunks collide

High-level overview

This modpack is an apocalypse-themed survival experience on Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge), aimed at players who want a tougher world with a more grounded, “every run matters” feel. Expect pressure to stay equipped, keep moving, and make smart choices about where your group settles in—especially once exploration ramps up and the world starts to feel less forgiving.

It’s a great fit for:

• Small groups who want a shared, persistent world
• Harder-than-vanilla survival where preparation matters
• Players who like a modern Minecraft baseline (1.20.1) with modded intensity layered on top

A CreeperHost advantage you’ll feel early

Cursed Project – Zombie Apocalypse shines once players spread out and the world starts generating at scale. CreeperHost’s hybrid VPS infrastructure is designed for modded servers that need consistent performance under mixed load—combat spikes, chunk generation, and lots of entities happening at the same time—without turning play sessions into a troubleshooting session.

What kind of server experience to expect

This is the type of pack where the server quickly becomes the “main character” of your playthrough:

• Combat and mob activity tend to create sudden performance spikes (especially when multiple players are active in different areas).
• Exploration-heavy progression means regular new chunk generation, which is one of the most common causes of short TPS dips on modded servers.
• Multiplayer bases naturally accumulate entities, storage, and automation-adjacent activity, all of which increases the server’s steady-state workload over time.

If your goal is a smooth, social apocalypse—where difficulty comes from the world, not from lag—a dedicated host is the right way to run it.

Hosting Considerations for Cursed Project – Zombie Apocalypse

Modpacks in this category typically behave best when you plan for headroom, not bare minimums.

Memory (RAM) guidance

• Many modded 1.20.1 packs can start on lower memory, but stability improves dramatically when you’re not forcing the JVM to constantly clean up under load.
• If your group explores aggressively or plays with several people online at once, aim for a plan that leaves room for chunk generation + entity spikes without stuttering.

CPU and tick stability

Zombie-heavy scenarios and high-activity areas can stress the main server thread. Strong single-thread CPU performance matters most here, and it’s a key reason modded servers often feel “fine locally” with one player—then fall apart when a group logs in and spreads out.

World growth and maintenance

As your map expands, backups and occasional housekeeping become more important. A dedicated environment makes it easier to keep the world safe while you iterate on configs, add quality-of-life tweaks, or recover quickly from the occasional “we pushed our luck” incident.

Why CreeperHost is a strong fit for this modpack

Built for modded performance patterns

CreeperHost runs modded Minecraft on Ryzen, EPYC, and Intel Ultra-based liquid-cooled servers optimized for consistency—ideal for packs where entity load and exploration are constant.

Fast setup, clean control

Get going quickly with one-click modpack installation and updates designed to preserve your config changes. You stay in control of your server’s “rules of the apocalypse” without redoing your work every time you update.

Practical operations support

When the server starts feeling heavy, our lag diagnosis tooling helps you pinpoint what’s happening (new chunks, entity build-up, or a busy region) so you can fix problems without guesswork.

Reliability where self-hosting struggles

Home hosting usually hits limits fast: upload bandwidth, PC sleep/crashes, router hiccups, and inconsistent performance. CreeperHost gives you a stable, protected environment so the only thing you’re fighting is the apocalypse itself.
