List of undead mobs in Minecraft

Minecraft currently has a total of 31 mobs that can be found within the game. There are quite a few different categories of mobs, including passive, neutral, tamable, hostile, utility, bosses, and unused. Mobs that are in the undead category are typically hostile, but that is not always the case.

Undead mobs are defined as mobs that are damaged by potions of healing, healed by potions of harming, and are immune to drowning and poison damage.

Keep in mind that two undead mobs can still drown: husks and zombies.
