Husk
Husk — mob.
Natural spawning
Husks spawn in deserts in groups of four and are the dominant zombie variant in that biome. Unlike ordinary zombies, they do not burn in sunlight and can also be selected by trial spawners.
| Biome group | 4 |
|---|---|
| Desert spawn weight | 80 |
| Sunlight | Does not burn |
Drops
The main pool gives 0–2 rotten flesh, increased by Looting. A husk riding a camel husk has a separate 0–1 rabbit-foot pool, also increased by Looting. Player kills unlock a rare pool: the unenchanted base chance is 2.5%, while the enchanted base is 3.5% plus 1% per Looting level above the first; the result is an iron ingot, carrot, or potato, and a potato can be smelted immediately by fire or a matching weapon.
| Rotten flesh | 0–2, increased by Looting |

| Rare extra pool | 2.5% unenchanted; 3.5% + 1% per level above first |
