Zombies are the first hostile mobs implemented into Minecraft Pocket Edition. They are a mob that usually spawn in a group of six. Zombies are the most common hostile mob in Minecraft.
Behavior[]
Zombies spawn on solid blocks in groups of six and will wander around aimlessly when spawned until it sees a potential target within 16 blocks of its range; The Player or a villager. They will attack with their outstretched arms, inflicting damage when they touch their target. When in direct contact with sunlight, they will catch fire until they die.
Combat[]
Zombies are easy to kill alone, because they attack on close range, but they can be dangerous in large groups. The most efficient method is to kill them with a sword, preferably stone or above or shoot them with a bow. Luring them into sunlight can be useful. Zombies will try to maneuver traps you make due to their upgraded AI.
Trivia[]
- After fire was removed in 0.3.0 they emitted smoke and received damage until they died. Since fire was added back, however, both Skeletons and Zombies burn in daylight.
- Zombies have the same clothing as the player.
- In the Lite version, zombies are the only hostile mob to date.
