Various undead mobs

Undead mobs are a group of Minecraft:monster Minecraft:mobs, many of which are Minecraft:hostile, that usually drop either Minecraft:bones or Minecraft:rotten flesh on death.

Common properties

All undead mobs share the following properties:

They are damaged by Minecraft:Instant Health and healed by Minecraft:Instant Damage.
They are not affected by Minecraft:Regeneration and Minecraft:Poison.
They take extra damage from Minecraft:Smite.
They do not take Minecraft:drowning damage (Minecraft:husks and Minecraft:zombies instead convert into zombies and Minecraft:drowned, respectively.)
They are not targeted by and cannot harm the Minecraft:wither.
They are considered a threat to Minecraft:armadillos, making them hide in their shell.
They are part of the Template:Cd Minecraft:entity tag Template:Only and part of the Template:Cd Minecraft:family Template:Only.

The majority of undead mobs catch fire under Minecraft:sunlight, a property not found in any other mobs, and are also able to transfer the fire with their melee attacks. The notable exceptions to this are the Minecraft:Nether-native undead mobs, which are entirely immune to fire, and the Minecraft:desert-native undead mobs as well as Minecraft:skeleton horses, which are not immune to fire but do not burn in sunlight. The majority of undead mobs are unable to swim and sink in water, with the exceptions of Minecraft:camel husks, Minecraft:zombie horses and the two water-based undead mobs (Minecraft:drowned and Minecraft:zombie nautiluses).

Trivia

Although undead mobs share the Template:Cd Minecraft:entity tag, the tag is not directly responsible for most of their shared properties.
- Most of their shared properties are a result of entity tags that in vanilla contain the Template:Cd tag; the only property directly caused by the aforementioned tag is armadillos considering undead mobs a threat.
