Zombies are a type of hostile mob that is one of the most prevalent opponents in Minecraft. Zombies come in a variety of shapes and sizes, each with its own set of traits. The regulars have green skin and wear light blue shirts and blue slacks, whereas the infants just move quicker. The Zombie villagers are similar to regular villagers except for their green skin. Husks live in deserts and have grey skin and torn clothing. Drowned zombies spawn underwater, have blue faces, and normally carry a trident; geared zombies, on the other hand, can appear with armour and tools/weapons. You may have come across swarms of zombies, which are caused by their aggroing on you from afar. Zombies are capable of breaking down doors and assaulting you in hard mode Zombie in Minecraft.

Zombies in Minecraft: Their Behavior and Appearance
The most prevalent sort of zombie is the normal zombie. Their bright blue blouse and blue slacks stand out against their green skin. Zombies may detect players from a greater distance than normal monsters.
The spawning of baby zombies is extremely unusual. They are more quicker and have the same amount of health as conventional zombies. They have the same appearance as their adult counterparts, except they are considerably smaller. They can fit into small 1×1 spaces and chase you inside your house, so be careful around them.
If you’re playing on normal or higher, zombie villagers can spawn naturally or existing villagers can be infected to become zombie villagers. They have the same appearance as villagers, with the exception of their long noses, and their attire varies based on their vocation.
In the desert, husk zombies can be encountered. They’ve become acclimated to the desert’s scorching heat and aren’t affected by it during the day. Because to their exposure to the sun and damaged clothing, they have grayer skin.
Drowned is a creature that lives in ocean biomes. Drowned can breed naturally in oceans, while normal zombies can become the blue-faced, algae-covered creatures by spending too long time underwater. Drowned do not receive damage by being submerged for an extended period of time, and they can spawn with a trident. Swimming away from a drowning with a trident may be tricky. Despite being so soaked, they are susceptible to sunlight burn.
Armor and tools/weapons can spawn alongside geared zombies. Their weapons and armour have the ability to enchant. They have an 8.5 percent chance of dropping their weapons and armour. I propose luring them to water if you want to keep what they have on them. They will discard any magical armour or weapons they were holding once they are submerged!
Piglins who went into the overworld or were struck by lightning are known as Zombified Piglins. They are usually armed with golden swords and have a bone and pig flesh appearance. If there are any zombie piglins in the vicinity and the player attacks one, the zombie piglins will attack the player.
There are zombie horses that do not spawn naturally and must be generated with spawn eggs or orders. They’re a putrid green tint with some bones protruding. These horses are incapable of being tamed or ridden.
In Minecraft, what draws zombies?
Many zombies will just go after people who are within aggro range. Attacking a zombie will summon all zombies within a 100-block radius to assist that zombie. If you’re not careful, a swarm of zombies may appear to assist other zombies.
If there is a village nearby, the zombie will try to find a villager and follow the quickest route to them until they are assaulted by someone else. Wandering traders will also be attacked by zombies.
They’ll also go after iron golems that guard communities.
The aggression range for zombies is lowered by half if a player is wearing a zombie head. Zombies will pound on locked wooden doors, and on hard or above surfaces, they will be able to tear them down.
In Minecraft, how can you tame a zombie?
In Minecraft, there is no way to make a zombie friendly to you. You can, however, restore zombie villagers to their former state. For saving them, they’ll even offer you a discount on whatever they’re selling. You can capture a zombie and keep him in your home, but they will respawn if you go too far away.
