Description

Zombie Horse Spawn Egg is a Creative-mode item that spawns a Zombie Horse the moment you right-click it onto a solid block in Minecraft. The egg carries the speckled two-tone texture shared by every spawn egg, tinted to match the Zombie Horse's grey-green hide. Because Zombie Horses never appear naturally in any biome of Java or Bedrock Edition, the Zombie Horse Spawn Egg, alongside the /summon command, is the only way to obtain this mob in normal play.

A spawned Zombie Horse is a fully tamable undead mount: ride it repeatedly until hearts appear, then fit it with a saddle to steer it. As an undead creature, the Zombie Horse takes damage from Instant Health and Regeneration potions, is healed by Instant Damage, and suffers extra hits from the Smite enchantment. Unlike a normal horse, a Zombie Horse cannot wear horse armor, cannot be bred, and refuses food, so the Zombie Horse Spawn Egg is mainly a tool for map-makers, adventure maps, and players who want a rare themed steed.

Java & Bedrock Guide

How to use a Zombie Horse Spawn Egg in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Get the spawn egg

    Open the Creative inventory or run /give @s minecraft:zombie_horse_spawn_egg; the egg is not craftable in Survival.

  2. 2

    Spawn the horse

    Right-click (or tap) the egg on the ground to spawn a Zombie Horse where the cursor points.

  3. 3

    Tame the Zombie Horse

    Mount the horse repeatedly with an empty hand until red hearts confirm it is tamed.

  4. 4

    Add a saddle and ride

    Open the horse's inventory and place a saddle to control its movement; horse armor cannot be equipped.

Important

Zombie Horses are undead, so healing potions hurt them and Instant Damage heals them; they also cannot breed or be fed.
