Rotten Flesh

Zombies are the most common hostile mob, shambling toward you at night and burning up in daylight. They can call reinforcements, so one zombie can become a pack.

How to Handle It

Simple melee works, but mind the numbers and the rare armed or baby zombies. They pound on wooden doors on hard difficulty, so build in stone or iron. Rotten Flesh feeds tamed wolves in a pinch.
