Don't do this if more dangerous mobs are around, as they may knock you off the pillar. One of the best ways to deal with a zombie hoard or baby zombie is to pillar up 2 blocks, so it can't reach you but you can still reach it.

The player can also use a bow to shoot zombies, but may wish to save their arrows for more difficult targets. Zombies are not fast (except for baby zombies, which sprint, are small and hard to hit), and by themselves are merely a nuisance, especially when mining underground.Īs zombies are helpless when unable to reach the player, simply getting out of reach can nullify their threat. Zombies are one of the easiest hostile mobs to kill, as they use only melee attacks and burn in sunlight (unless they are wearing helmets, carved pumpkins, or are in water or the shade), and are easy to land a hit on them in melee combat without taking damage due to their slow speed and predictable movement. A fail-safe is to set the difficulty to Peaceful, which removes all hostile mobs, except for the Ender Dragon, shulkers, vindicators, evokers, hoglins and piglins. If caught in a difficult place without a weapon, the player can run away if they are outdoors or tunnel downwards and wait for the mob to despawn before surfacing. This list is sorted by chance of encounter. There are several hostile mobs and 2 bosses (the Ender Dragon and the wither) in the game.
