Zombie Horse Spawn Egg — Minecraft block
Zombie Horse Spawn Egg
Zombie Horse Spawn Egg instantly spawns a tamable undead horse in Minecraft and is available only in Creative mode or through commands.
Description
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 and horse armor to shield it from burning in sunlight. As an undead creature, the Zombie Horse takes damage from Instant Health, is healed by Instant Damage, ignores Regeneration, and suffers extra hits from the Smite enchantment. Unlike a normal horse, a Zombie Horse cannot be bred, but red mushrooms heal it for 3 health points and raise its temper, making taming faster — so the Zombie Horse Spawn Egg serves map-makers, adventure maps, and players who want a rare themed steed.

How to use a Zombie Horse Spawn Egg in Minecraft
-
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
Spawn the horse
Right-click (or tap) the egg on the ground to spawn a Zombie Horse where the cursor points.
-
3
Tame the Zombie Horse
Mount the horse repeatedly with an empty hand until red hearts confirm it is tamed; feeding red mushrooms first speeds this up.
-
4
Add a saddle and ride
Open the horse's inventory and place a saddle to control its movement; horse armor can also be equipped and protects the Zombie Horse from burning in sunlight.
Zombie Horses are undead, so healing potions hurt them and Instant Damage heals them while Regeneration does nothing; they cannot breed, but red mushrooms heal them and speed up taming.

Frequently asked questions
Can you craft a Zombie Horse Spawn Egg?
No. The Zombie Horse Spawn Egg is not craftable; you can only get it from the Creative inventory or with the /give command.
Do Zombie Horses spawn naturally?
Yes, since the Mounts of Mayhem update (December 2025): Zombie Horses appear at night or during thunderstorms in plains-family biomes, always ridden by a zombie horseman with an iron spear.
Can you ride a Zombie Horse?
Yes. Tame the Zombie Horse by mounting it until hearts appear, then add a saddle to ride and steer it.
Can a Zombie Horse wear horse armor?
Yes. A tamed Zombie Horse can wear both a saddle and horse armor; the armor even stops it from burning in sunlight. Zombie Horses cannot be bred.
Why do healing potions hurt a Zombie Horse?
The Zombie Horse is an undead mob, so Instant Health damages it and Instant Damage heals it, just like zombies; Regeneration simply has no effect.
