The round starts quiet. Sixty seconds later the Mother Zombies are loose — and every survivor they catch joins the horde. Outlast them, or lead them.
Season 1 Patient Zero is live — a 100-tier pass, 20 classes to earn, and a ranked ladder. See what’s new →Everyone starts as a survivor. Once the infection lands, every death grows the horde.
Vote on 5 maps — or pick "Classified" for a random one.
Everyone spawns as a survivor. Run, hide, find a spot to hold.
2–7 players turn. Every survivor they kill joins the infected — with their own class.
Survivors alive at the end win 30 cookies each. Full infection = the horde wins 15 each, Mother Zombies double.
Lunging zombies, sniping skeletons, a vampire that turns into a bat mid-chase. Every class has its own Mastery track: play it to Level 10, then prestige it for a Skill Token. Tokens buy Infected Skills — 9 Core skills any class can run, plus three built for that class alone. Master all 23 to become Patient Zero.
Browse the classes How skills work
No rank, no purchase, no cash. Every rank-gated class has a road: class masteries, a set of challenges, and a cookie price paid last. Each road also carries a signature — a job done on one specific class a tier below, so you earn your way up the horde instead of unlocking a whole tier at once.
How the Lab works
Not rounds. Minutes of live round time, so a six-player wipe and a full clock-out are worth what they actually cost you — three hours a tier, at any lobby size. The free track pays on every single tier and ends in a title you keep for good; premium adds 22 exclusive cosmetics and eleven lobby-wide boosters that double cookies for the whole server, not just the buyer.
What’s in the pass
A free crate every hour of playtime — Champion earns 2 per drop, Titan 3. Open them in the lobby for armour trims, dyes, pets and morphs — some morphs are rank-exclusive and never drop from crates.

Seasons run their own ladder alongside the permanent one. Everything below resets when the season ends — what you buy outright never does.
100 tiers, 300 hours of live round time to finish, or around 177 if you work the 28-quest board. Cookies and crates on the free track; cosmetics, shards and lobby-wide boosters on premium. It is meant to outlast the season.
Read the passTwenty infected classes, unlockable by playing. Masteries, challenges and a price — plus a signature challenge that has to be done on a specific class one tier below the one you want.
Read the LabA survivor ladder: only your human phase is scored, and only in rounds with six or more real players. Ten rounds to place, then six tiers from Exposed to Legend.

Open Minecraft Java 1.21.11 or newer, add play.mcinfected.org as a server, and hit join. No mods needed. Season 1's 1.8-style combat depends on 1.21.11, so older clients are turned away at the door — on Lunar or Badlion, pick a 1.21.11 profile.
