A husk is a variant of zombie that spawns in deserts. Unlike zombies, husks do not burn in sunlight.
Contents
Spawning[edit]
Husks spawn at a light level of 7 or less in the desert, desert hills, and desert lakes biomes, mostly replacing zombies in these biomes.
In Java Edition, husks spawn directly under the sky in groups of 4 in place of 80% of all zombies spawned in desert biomes variants.
In Bedrock Edition, husks spawn on the surface and underground in groups of 2-4 in place of 70% of all zombies spawned in desert biomes.
Variants[edit]
Baby husks and chicken jockeys[edit]
In Java Edition, there is a 5% chance for husks to spawn as babies, and baby husks have a 5% chance to spawn as a chicken jockey.
In Bedrock Edition, baby husks have a 15% chance to become a jockey when it tries attacking a villager, player, or golem. They can ride:
- Adult chickens
- Ocelots
- Wild wolves
- Adult zombies
- Adult zombified piglins
- Adult zombie villagers
- Adult husks
- Cows
- Pigs
- Sheep
- Horses
- Donkeys
- Mules
- Zombie horses
- Skeleton horses
- Mooshrooms
- Spiders
- Cave spiders
- Pandas
- Stray cats
Notes about all jockeys:
- A jockey moves at the baby husk speed instead of the mob speed.
- A jockey becomes hostile when riding a neutral mob, but does not anger other nearby mobs of the same kind.
- A mob that is normally rideable by the player is not rideable after being ridden by a baby husk.
Behavior[edit]
Husks pursue the player, iron golems, villagers, baby turtles, and wandering traders on sight from 40 blocks away, as opposed to 16 blocks in most other hostile mobs. They attempt to avoid obstacles, including sheer cliffs, water, and lava, and try to find the shortest path to the player.
Husks apply Hunger to any player or mob they hit using a melee attack unless the husk is holding an item in its main hand or the player blocks the attack with a shield. This effect lasts for 7 × floor (regional difficulty) seconds.
Unlike zombies, husks do not burn in sunlight.
Husks can break down doors successfully on Hard difficulty.
Husks seek out any nearby turtle eggs and trample them.
Husks can pick up items if the game rule mobGriefing is set to true, and they do not despawn if left alone.
A husk that is submerged in water for 30 seconds converts to a normal zombie, which in turn may become a drowned by staying submerged for an additional 30 seconds.
Drops[edit]
When they die, husks drop 0–2 Rotten Flesh. The maximum drop is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 with Looting III.
They can also drop an iron ingot, carrot, or potato when killed by a player or tamed wolf. This drop has a 2.5% chance of occurring, increasing by 1% per level of looting. Individual items have the following chances of dropping:
- 1⁄120 (about 0.83%)
- 11⁄600 (about 1.83%) with Looting I
- 17⁄600 (about 2.83%) with Looting II
- 23⁄600 (about 3.83%) with Looting III
Any picked-up equipment has a 100% chance of dropping and drops with the same damage level it had when picked up.
Unlike regular zombies, a husk does not drop its head if killed by a charged creeper explosion.
Naturally-spawned equipment[edit]
- Carved Pumpkin [note 1]
- Jack o'Lantern[Java Edition only][note 1]
- Iron Shovel
- Iron Sword
- Random Armor
- Husk have an 8.5% chance of dropping their naturally-spawned equipment, with random durability. Each level of Looting increases the chance 1 percentage point (11.5% with Looting III).
- ↑ a b Husks spawn with pumpkins and jack o'lanterns[Java Edition only] only during Halloween.
Experience[edit]
Adult husks drop 5 and an additional 1–3 per naturally-spawned equipment. Baby husks drop 12.
Halloween[edit]
If a husk wearing a pumpkin or jack o'lantern[Java Edition only] is killed using a weapon enchanted with Looting, there is a chance equivalent to the level of Looting used to drop the pumpkin or jack o' lantern, up to a maximum of a 3% chance of a drop.
