The Undead+ Mod is a collaboration between some of the Minecraft Forums' finest coders and artists. The mod adds several new mobs to the game and possibly even several new biomes and structures.

New Update Drum Preview!
On the 10th of February, TechGuy543 released a screen shot of what the Update Block's GUI looks like. I have to say, it looks awesome and also very professional. The item tells the player if there are any Updates for the Undead+ Mod and takes you to the download page if there is. It will be released in the 0.3 update.

Interview with RandumbDude
On the 6th of February, I (MrCompost) had the privilege of interviewing Undead+'s creator: RandumbDude. I asked him five questions and he gave me his answers. Here is how it all went:
What inspired you to make the Undead+ mod?
Well, my first idea for a new Minecraft mob came from one of my old skins, which was a zombie in a suit with sunglasses. When my friend in MP asked why I wasn't burning in the daytime, i pointed out the sunglasses, and then thought it would be cool if there was a mob like that. After a few more ideas came to mind, i started a post under request/ideas for mods. With some support from the forums, it eventually grew into what it is today. A lot of inspiration came from existing zombie games, a lot of the ideas are original, and some great ideas have come from other users.
Did you ever think it would be as popular as it is today?
Well, I'm not sure it is quite "popular" yet, but considering that out first version only included 4 mobs and had 50 downloads with lots of great feedback, no, I did not think it would be this popular. In fact, for the first couple days i got barely any feedback and could not find a coder. I almost gave up.
You're mod has given you quite a respectable fan-base. How does this make you feel?
We have been getting a lot of great ideas and support from fans of this mod, and haven't really received any negative responses. Many users even help to make some textures, suggest ideas, and
test the versions for any bugs, so i am very grateful our fans are so active on our forum.
The 0.2 update added almost all of the planned mobs. Does this mean that we can look forward to the new items and structures in the next release?
We have decided to separate how we work into the versions. First, we are focusing on most of the mobs, then fixing the mobs and items, and then adding structures. v.02 focused on most of the mobs and bugs, meaning that v.03 should have lots of bug fixes ( i think the spawn rates are a little high ) and the rest of the mobs. This version may also include the Grave biome. Then v.04 Should include Graveyards, Infected Villages, and Crypts.
Finally, what do you think the future holds for Undead+?
There's plenty to look forward to in Undead+. My goal is to add lots of content, without adding lots of useless things, I've rejected many of my own ideas because they would not have a use. In the future you can look forward to things such as infected jaguars roaming the jungle, better uses for rotten flesh, pyramids in the desert that lead to underground catacombs, and possibly even a new game mode or two. I can't say too much for now because we are still trying to figure out what we can code and what we can't, But there is certainly more to come.
Thanks, RandumbDude!

Download it now!
The current version of Undead+ is available for free download from the Minecraft forums only for Minecraft 1.1 here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/915339-11-wip-undead/
The mod also requires Risugami's ModLoader for Minecraft 1.1, which you can download here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/75440-v11-risugamis-mods-everything-updated/
Installation
1. If you have not already done so, download software that opens zip files such as 7Zip or preferably, WinRar.
3. Download Undead+ and Modloader from the links above.
2. Click start, then type %appdata%. Open the folder called Roaming.
3. Locate the .minecraft folder in roaming, and go into bin. Back up the minecraft.jar file so that you can put it back into the folder if the installation is not successful.
4. Open the minecraft.jar file with software that opens zip files.
5. Drag the contents of the ModLoader file in minecraft.jar and delete META INF. Then close everthing up and then run Minecraft. If it works, great! If it doesn't, see Errors.
6. There are two ways of installing the mod. Method 1, the fast way or Method 2, the slightly longer way. I recommend using Method 2 because it is easier to fix Minecraft if anything went wrong.
Method 1
1. Open up minecraft.jar and the folder in Undead+.
2. Drag the contents from the folder in Undead+ into minecraft.jar.
3. Close everything off and run Minecraft. If it doesn't work, see Errors.
3. Done!
Method 2
1. Open up the .minecraft folder and you will see a folder called mods. Open it up.
2. Drag the folder in Undead+ into the mods folder
3. Close everything off, run Minecraft and fight off the Zombie hordes! if it doesn't work, see Errors.
Errors
If you get a black screen or an error message when you try to launch Minecraft, you have done something wrong. You may have placed the mod files in the wrong place or the mod may not be compatible with your version of Minecraft.
If your Minecraft crashed after you installed ModLoader, take the following steps:
1. Locate minecraft.jar
2. Delete it and then drag in the minecraft.jar you backed up. If you did not back up your minecraft.jar, you will have to re-install Minecraft. Sorry, but I did warn you!
3. Done!
If your minecraft crashed after installing Undead+ using Method 1, follow the steps above.
If your MInecraft crashed after installing Undead+ using Method 2, take the following steps:
1. Locate the .minecraft folder and then open the mods folder.
2. Delete the mod zip archive file with Undead+ in it.
3. Done!
