Minecraft player suggests interesting new varieties for zombies, skeletons, and more

Minecraft has numerous mobs that fill up the blocky world and make it interesting. There are passive mobs, such as cows, chickens, and pigs, that are needed for basic items. Players will also come across hostile mobs like zombies and skeletons that will waste no time and start attacking them. These hostile mobs are interesting as they add the element of combat to the title. But what if they had more creative ways of fighting?

A Minecraft player with the username u/Sea_Honey_2747 shared some pictures on the game’s subreddit showing familiar hostile mobs with bizarre objects as their equipment. For example, a zombie holding a door as a shield or a husk carrying a pot filled with sand.

The idea is simple yet interesting. These objects can be used by the mobs to either protect themselves or to add a new attack to make combat more challenging.

Expanding on the idea, the pot husk mob will throw a sand pot near the player, creating a dust cloud and causing the blindness effect. Another example is the beecreeper with a bee nest on top of its head. When it explodes, it releases a swarm of angry bees that attacks the player. More examples include the lantern-bearer wither skeleton, the suspicious spider, and the barrel drowned.

Replying to the original post, u/Maxemersonbentley_1 said that these concepts are great and they perfectly fit in the game. As the mob concepts only use items already present in the game, adding them through a mob would not be a challenge for the modding community.

u/Odd_Register_5784 believed that these mobs could easily be added to the vanilla game without any issues. According to them, such an addition would refresh certain mobs to make them more interesting.

u/George13yt wrote that a mod should be made to add these mobs in Minecraft. u/White_Mittens suggested the user look for the “Born in Chaos” mod that adds something very similar to the concept shared here, such as barrel zombies, door knights, etc. u/CJ_squared recognized that the barrel zombie has been taken from a mod.

More mobs to make Minecraft fun

Mojang is working on increasing the inhabitants of the blocky world, and we feel it is a great move. Since the world size is incredibly large and there are only a handful of biomes, the developers should creatively increase the variety of mobs to keep the game fresh. Hostile mobs with different “equipment” would be a great idea, as the variation would always keep things fun.

With the imminent arrival of the copper golem, Mojang just has to make some tweaks to improve the already present mobs. Players will surely be excited to see what else the developers have planned for the upcoming game drop.
