Minecraft:Frostbite

Template:In development Template:Planned Template:For Template:Infobox entity A frostbite is a variant of the Minecraft:zombie that spawns in cold Minecraft:biomes.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref> Its melee attacks apply Minecraft:Freezing to the target, and it can sometimes spawn holding Minecraft:ice balls, which are thrown as a ranged attack.

Spawning

Natural spawning

Frostbites spawn in some snowy biomes, such as Minecraft:ice spikes and Minecraft:ice caves. Template:Mob spawn table

Conversion

Minecraft:Zombies and Minecraft:husks will transform into frostbites when submerged inside powder snow for 30 seconds. Like husks, frostbites will transform into Minecraft:zombies when submerged inside water for 30 seconds. If the resulting zombie remains submerged in water, it can subsequently transform into a drowned, although Minecraft:drowned cannot turn back into frostbites.

Drops

Behavior

A frostbite primarily uses its melee attack, which will apply the Minecraft:Freezing effect to their target.

They sometimes spawn holding Minecraft:ice balls and can throw them as a ranged attack. They throw ice balls at range while moving toward their target, and switch to melee attacks when they get close enough. Frostbites also throw ice balls if they pick up an ice ball Minecraft:item off the ground.

Mob type

Being an Minecraft:undead mob, they are:

• damaged by the status effect Minecraft:Instant Health and healed by the status effect Minecraft:Instant Damage.
• unaffected by the status effects Minecraft:Regeneration and Minecraft:Poison.
• ignored by the Minecraft:wither.
• affected by the Minecraft:Smite enchantment.
• a threat to armadillos, causing them to hide in their shell.

As they are undead and do not grow up, golden dandelions do not work on baby frostbites.

Mounting

Template:Exclusive Template:IN, 15% of naturally spawned baby frostbites can start riding a mob and become a Minecraft:jockey when it tries attacking. A jockey mob ridden by a baby frostbite will adapt to the speed of its rider. A baby frostbite can ride:Template:Columns-list

Trivia

• The frostbite could be considered a successor to the Template:MCD from Template:MCD, another ice-covered zombie variant which notably also attacks with thrown ice projectiles in addition to the standard melee attacks. Both are very similar in appearance as well, with the only significant difference being that the frostbite uses an original clothing design, whereas the frozen zombie simply reuses the clothes of the normal zombie.
  • Template:IN, the frostbite's texture even includes the palette, positioned identically to the palette in the frozen zombie's texture from Minecraft Dungeons.
  • Minecraft Dungeons also features a poisonous skeleton variant, the Template:MCD, that appeared before the Minecraft:bogged was added to Minecraft. However, this pair has thematic differences that are much more significant than those of the frostbite and the frozen zombie.
