Talk:Drowned

This shouldn't be its own page
Why is it its own page? It should be part of Zombie like any other variant –Preceding unsigned comment was added by CanOfHuskies (talk • contribs) at 19:30, 13 March 2018‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * Isn't that a separate mob with own AI, own drops etc ? Kumasasa (talk) 19:33, 13 March 2018 (UTC)


 * The Drowned appears to use the same model and AI as the zombie, so it probably should be a variant. Also the Drowned drop rotten flesh, and rarely a gold ingot or a trident, so it's drops seem to follow the logic of the stray dropping tipped arrows even though it is a skeleton variant. jjlr (talk) 09:51, 14 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Based on what I know, I think drowned has enough differences from a zombie to have its own page. However, we do need to come to a decision quick, because right now drowned is both its own page and on the zombie page.--Orange Glazed Terracotta.png Madminecrafter12 T • C 13:02, 14 March 2018 (UTC)


 * . They have different spawning conditions, different drops, can spawn with a different weapon and have the ability to throw that weapon. Wither skeletons have their own page as well, if drowned do not deserve one neither do wither skeletons imo. --Pepijn (talk) 00:12, 15 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Although strays have different spawn conditions compared to skeletons, use tipped arrows instead of regular ones, and drop tipped arrows rather than regular ones and they are considered a skeleton variant. With that being considered Drowned are not really that much more different from zombies as strays are from skeletons. jjlr (talk) 02:34, 15 March 2018 (UTC)


 * They do not have any different behavior from skeletons however, while drowned do (different targeting conditions, different behavior during the day, they can throw tridents). Which is a big deal, including them in Zombies will need a lot of exceptions everywhere, which is not what you want on a page (it's messy). –Preceding unsigned comment was added by PepijnMC (talk • contribs) at 12:37, 15 March 2018‎ (UTC).

 * I've removed the part about drowned from the zombie page, but if the community decides to include it on that page, we can easily revert it back. Before the edit, the drowned information was duplicated onto this page and the zombie page, and I felt that the community overall was leaning slightly towards having drowned as a separate page; but like I said, we can easily change it.--Orange Glazed Terracotta.png Madminecrafter12 T • C 00:34, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

The Drops section is incorrect, the Drowned can drop a trident regardless of whether it spawned with one or not. this sometimes actually allows for them to drop two, one they are holding and one from the loot table, though i am unsure what the percentage is from the loot table. jjlr (talk) 11:16, 14 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Do Drowned not have some of the behaviors that Zombies do? For example, will Drowned go after villagers? -EatingSilencerforBreakfast (talk) 19:58, 14 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Drowned will go after villager just like zombies do. jjlr (talk) 01:41, 15 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Have you actually tested that? Because I did when they came out and I'm pretty sure they do not chase villagers and villagers do not run away from them. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by PepijnMC (talk • contribs) at March 14, 2018 (UTC). Please sign your posts with

 * Ah yes, they won't get out of the water to target something during the day (unlike zombies). I got confused with that. Still, this is behavior they don't share with zombies. --Pepijn (talk) 11:32, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Drops need to be corrected
The Drowned is able to drop a Trident even if it has not spawned with one. Though i am unsure what the percentage chance is from getting it from the loot table. Also it is possible to get two Tridents from one Drowned if the Drowned drops the one it spawned with and you get one from the loot table. jjlr (talk) 03:03, 15 March 2018 (UTC)


 * I will take a look at the loot table.--Orange Glazed Terracotta.png Madminecrafter12 T • C 13:29, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Plural
What is the plural of "drowned"? Is it "drowned" or "drowneds"? – Nixinova   19:36, 16 March 2018 (UTC)


 * "Drowned" (thankfully, in my opinion). See https://minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-18w11a, under the section Drowned, where they say things like "Drowned can spawn with tridents ...", "All drowned have a melee attack ...", and "Like zombies, drowned don't really like turtles that much". – Sealbudsman talk/contr 22:41, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you, good to know - I was wondering the same thing.--Orange Glazed Terracotta.png Madminecrafter12 T • C 22:44, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

The prototype of drowned
We cannot define the translation of this new mob, that's terrible. Someone says that's taken from Wizard III and some one says that's just "the drowning zombie". So please, can someone here can define this new drowned mob? Thanks! -- Lxazl5770 zh.admin （ 论 • 功 ） 10:26, 19 March 2018 (UTC)


 * It does not matter what anyone here thinks the developers might have had in mind when they designed this mob. The wiki is only meant for documenting the game, as long as there is no official statement or a hint somewhere there is nothing we can do. You should contact Mojang about this, they'll be able to help out. Btw, I think you mean Witcher III not Wizard. – Fuzs 11:02, 19 March 2018 (UTC)


 * If it helps with translation, you might choose to use "Drowned Zombie" instead of just the official "Drowned" name. Not "drowning" though, as the zombie is not drowning anymore, but has completed drowning before to become its current existent form. It is a zombie that has gone through the change of being affected by water when trying to breathe in it (judging by the game mechanics, not just the name they gave it). And being an undead creature already, it could not die because of it, but had to change anyway and is therefore now an altered zombie with different properties than the regular one. I really hope this helps you, because I don't know anything about the chinese language. – [ Jack McKalling ] [ Grid Book.png Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 11:12, 19 March 2018 (UTC)


 * If the adjective "drowned" (like "a drowned zombie") can be translated to a Chinese adjective, and if it sounds awkward or wrong to use that word as a mob name, I wouldn't worry about it, it sounds awkward in English too. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 15:35, 19 March 2018 (UTC)


 * I've asked Helen Angel about this in the meantime. I've posted everything she told me in the discussion section on the drowned translation page on Crowdin for all translators to see. Please check it out. – Fuzs 21:12, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The problem was resloved, thanks! "A drowned zombie" is actually a defined translation. -- Lxazl5770 zh.admin （ 论 • 功 ） 09:57, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Chicken in the middle of the ocean
How would a chicken be in the middle of the water by itself when babies don't burn in sunlight? Fluffyboo12 (talk) 22:39, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
 * If the water is too deep, the zombie can't ride any longer (same with players and horses in an ocean)  HorseHead.png MarkusRost (talk) 22:45, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

Trident
Will these drop if there is no player action taken? For example in an auto farm where zombies drop into water to be converted and then dropped onto Magma block to die. Will they ever drop a trident or only if killed by a player?
