Warning: April Fools' 
This feature requires the usage of April Fools' versions, often requiring file renaming or file deletion to load. See the help page for information on loading these versions.
This article is about the entity. For related features, see Zombie Horse (Disambiguation).

Zombie horses were added in 13w16a (1.6 snapshot) but have never been available in survival Minecraft, except in 3 April Fools' snapshots.

Obtaining

20w14∞ Dimension

Zombie horses spawn naturally in some random biomes in random dimensions in 20w14∞. They spawn as passive mobs, thus they can only spawn on top of grass blocks with adequate light level. Spawning only happens every 20 seconds if there are no more than 10 passive mobs loaded.

One known location is the biome "_generated:1913198024" in dimension "zz" around 381, -411. Another is biome "_generated:773938501" in dimension "q3" around 1357, -1126. These coordinates seem to be consistent throughout seeds.

The spawned horses are always wild and have a 20% chance of being a baby zombie horse. Baby zombie horses are a temporary discontinued feature but can also be put inside a boat to get an oversized mob in a boat after the baby grows up, which will prove it was a baby even after it has grown up.

22w13oneBlockAtATime Spawn Egg

In 22w13oneBlockAtATime, there is a 1/996710 (≈0.0001%) chance that an enderman will spawn holding a zombie horse spawn egg. If that enderman is killed, the spawn egg can be obtained and used to spawn zombie horses.

23w13a_or_b Votes

The April Fool's snapshot 23w13a_or_b introduces a plethora of ways to obtain every block and item in the game, including the zombie horse spawn egg. These include:

  1. The egg_free vote, when applied, will allow chickens to lay any block or item in the game (without NBT)
  2. The fish_anything vote, when applied, will allow any item from the creative menu (not the operator tab, with NBT) to be fished (combine with the buff_fishing vote to greatly increase fishing speed)
  3. The give_item vote, when applied, will give every online player a random amount of any block or item in the game (without NBT)
  4. The replace_items vote, when applied, will replace all items in online players' inventories with any block or item in the game (NBT is preserved)
  5. The replace_loot_drop vote, when applied, will replace all loot drops of a random block or item with any block or item in the game (NBT is preserved)
  6. The replace_recipe_output vote, when applied, will replace all recipes for the given item with any block or item in the game (NBT is preserved)
  7. The villager_gem vote, when applied, will replace all emeralds in all loaded villager's trades with any block or item in the game (without NBT)
  8. The vote natural_spawn_replacement can be used to replace the natural spawning of any mob with any other mob in the game, including. Once approved, all mobs as specified by the vote, when spawning from natural spawns, will be replaced with a mob as specified by the vote.
  9. The basalt_gen_replace, cobblestone_gen_replace, obsidian_gen_replace, and stone_gen_replace votes, when applied, replace the block of their respective fluid interaction with any block in the game


Taming

Zombie horses can be tamed in 22w13oneBlockAtATime and 23w13a_or_b, which is normally impossible.
