A zombie is a hostile mob that chases players and hits them in melee.
Spawning
Zombies spawn in the dark in every Overworld biome, in packs of up to 4.
Half of the monster spawners in dungeons spawn zombies. A zombie is one of the three mobs that can spawn beside a sleeping player.
On Peaceful no zombie spawns, and any in the world is removed.
Drops
A zombie drops 0–2 feathers when it dies.
Killing one earns the Monster Hunter achievement.
Behaviour
A zombie targets the nearest player within 16 blocks, if it can see them, and walks towards them. It also attacks any mob or player that hurts it.
It walks at 2.2 blocks per second, 50% of a player's walking speed.
It hits for 5 damage.
By day, a zombie standing in light 12 or more, open to the sky, catches fire. It does not burn during a thunderstorm.
With no target it wanders, choosing darker spaces.
