I was looking at error sub-categories to see things I can do, and I saw that this page is in, so someone should delete what is causing that (unless if it is intentional, which I doubt). --GK1H (P/T/C) 18:44, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Zombie Intelligence
If a zombie is burning in daylight and I throw a helmet at it, will the zombie stop to put it on as to stop burning? – Unsigned comment added by 199.216.38.38 (talk) at 19:27, 9 March 2021 (UTC). Sign comments with


 * Well, zombies do have a chance to pick up armor, they are more likely to do so on hard difficulty however. James Haydon (talk) 19:31, 9 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I think they'll always pick up and put on armor, if there's any available, but they probably need a full set to protect from sunlight. 90.191.109.211 16:52, 20 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Well, while I was playing in Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft when I saw this zombie out of nowhere wearing a helmet without even burning!! --182.18.206.58 08:20, 12 April 2021 (UTC)


 * They need only a helmet though to stop burning. TheGreatSpring (talk | contribs) (Tagalog translation) 08:25, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Zombies in boats
For some reason, mobs in boats have an extended damage range (basically they can attack from farther away). I was in Education Edition and my challenge was to capture every mob possible in game. I tried to capture a zombie but I couldnt get near him. Why is that?--199.216.38.38 17:28, 10 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm doing something similar. Try to make a big dark room near your detainment area. That makes them spawn. And then only get them into a boat for the final detainment when you've already lured one into position. 90.191.109.211 16:52, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Question about zombie villager
I heard that if you cure a zombie villager, the villager's trade(s) will be better. But the zombie just killed the villager instead of infecting; why!? – Unsigned comment added by Minecraftdabest! (talk • contribs) at 1:00 UTC (UTC). Sign comments with
 * On Easy, they have a 0% chance of converting a villager to a zombie villager and will always kill it. Medium is half and half and on Hard, the villager will always be infected.Humiebeetalk contribs 00:55, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

What's the secret to infecting villagers?
I've failed this multiple times and I'm not sure what the problem is. Sometimes it works and other times it does not.

As soon as the zombie no longer sees the player, it attacks the next target (the villager), but when that happens, the zombie keeps attacking until the villager is dead. Somehow sometimes the infection does occur. What's the difference exactly? Do they just have to spend time close to each other with out actually attacking? 90.191.109.211 16:52, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Why did zombies attack an Evoker?
I was working on this project, hence building a woodland mansion. I had two Evokers as "guards" enclosed in barrier boxes. Sudedenly, some zombies came out of the mansion and ganged up on (and killed) one of the evokers. WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?

Why do zombies HAVE TO hunt players, villagers, and iron golems down?!
Hello... I have a question. Other than because of the code, WHY do zombies HAVE TO hunt [almost] every living thing?!?! 130.105.207.95 08:08, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
