Zombie



The zombie is a hostile mob that appears in Survival, Indev, Infdev, and Zombie Siege. As of the September 3, 2009 update, zombies are the fastest mobs in the game. Zombies can navigate and chase players. Their attack deals 3 hearts of damage. They usually appear in packs of two or more. In Indev mode they only spawn in dark areas, such as unlit areas on the surface at night, or in unlit caves. Zombies can sometimes be found wearing one piece of armor or the whole set in Survival mode but this is merely cosmetic. When a zombie is killed, the player gets 80 points. They are much slower in Indev/Infdev. Like the Indev/Infdev skeletons, zombies burst into flames if they come into contact with direct sunlight. In Alpha, the zombie's sounds are arguably the most realistic in the game.

In the free version of Survival mode, armored zombies appear randomly along with groups of normal zombies. These zombies are easily distinguishable by their body armor and/or helmets. Their armor does not, however, give them any additional hit points; the difference is purely cosmetic.
