A zombie is a common undead hostile mob that can be found within the various missions of Minecraft Dungeons. Zombies have three variants, identifiable by their gear. The first tier has no armor and no weapon. The second tier has a dagger and a reinforced mail helmet. The third tier has a longsword (sword), a reinforced mail helmet, and a scale mail chestplate.

Spawning

Zombies will spawn when night falls, regardless of mission, when at least one hero dies in multiplayer.

Summoned by necromancers

• Woodland Prison

Summoned by mob spawners

Secret areas

Behavior

Zombies have three variants. The first variant is unarmored and unarmed. The second wears scale mail with a reinforced mail helmet as well as a single dagger, and the third wears full reinforced mail and a sword. Zombies have nine times more health when enchanted.

Walk

Zombies wander around when they are idle.

Basic attack

When an available target is in range, they will perform a downward swipe with both arms, dealing damage to heroes in its range.

Novelty sleep

Zombies sometimes sleep when idle. The third zombie variant does not perform its novelty animation, however, as it is broken.

Unlike in the base game, zombies do not turn into drowned when submerged in water for 30 seconds or more.

Trivia

• The spawning mob group of the Grim Guardian in the level files "netherhypermission-hyper.json" and "ancientdungeons.json" is identified as flesheater.
• Zombies have many unused sounds in game file.
• Both shoulder pads use the shoulder pad model on the right. One of the right shoulder pads was reversed and disguised as the left shoulder pad. The difference between the reversed right shoulder pad and the left shoulder pad is that there is an extra white pixel on the top of the left shoulder pad.
• Zombies are both darker and smoother than those from the original game.
