Husk

For how this works in unmodified Minecraft, see Husk on the Minecraft Wiki.

Husk

Type	Hostile mob, undead
Health points	Easy: vanilla Normal: 30 ( × 15) Hard: 40 ( × 20) Baby: 4 ( × 2) (Easy, Normal), 7 ( × 3.5) (Hard)
Attack strength	Easy: vanilla Normal: 10 Hard: 15
Speed	Easy: vanilla Normal: 0.25 Hard: 0.265
Spawn	Every Overworld biome
Drops	Sturdy Leather,  Raw Estus

A husk in Matcha Flavoured is a slow, heavily armored undead "tank". While zombies are fast and fragile, husks on Normal and Hard have up to 20 hearts, strong armor, full knockback resistance and very heavy hits. They spawn in every Overworld biome, not just deserts, and the resource pack makes them white to set them apart from zombies.

Spawning

Husks are added to every Overworld biome that spawns monsters, with weight 75 in groups of 1–2. In deserts this replaces the vanilla weight of 80 in groups of 4. Like other undead, they can spawn on the open surface until the Ender Dragon is killed; see Spawning and Surface.

Husk jockeys are removed: a husk that spawns riding a camel husk is replaced by a husk on foot, and the camel husk is left alone. Husks also come from spawners in abbeys; those husks drop nothing.

Drops

Loot table minecraft:entities/husk (source); pools roll 1 time(s). Overrides the vanilla table.

Item	Stack size	Chance per roll	Chance per table	Notes
Sturdy Leather	1–2	100%	100%	player kill
Raw Estus	0–1	31.2%	31.2%	player kill

All drops require a player kill, and husks from the pack's spawners drop nothing. Compared to vanilla, husks drop  Sturdy Leather (1–2) instead of rotten flesh, and have a 10 in 16 chance of rolling  Raw Estus (0–1) instead of the rare iron, carrot and potato drops.

Behavior

On Normal and Hard, a husk moves slowly but steadily: it has full movement efficiency on land and in water, so slowing blocks such as soul sand and moving through water hold it back far less than other mobs, and it steps up full blocks without jumping. Its high knockback resistance means shields and knockback weapons barely push it back, and its follow range lets it track players from much further away than vanilla mobs.

Husks are undead and are affected by warding.

History

1.10	Husks spawn in all biomes and become tanks: very slow and very strong. Husk drop rates tweaked (obols about 10%).
1.12	Husks slowed a little on Normal. Spawn weight lowered from 80 to 50. Attack damage lowered from 15 to 10 on Normal and from 20 to 15 on Hard. Reinforcement rates lowered.
1.12.1-alpha	Husks made white to look different from zombies. Husk jockeys removed. Speed raised a little. Spawn weight raised with smaller groups. Health on Normal lowered from 40 to 30. Mandatory reinforcements removed. Obols no longer drop from undead. Baby husks have 2 hearts on Easy.
1.12.2	Hard husks slightly slower.

Trivia

• The 1.10 release notes describe the design: "Zombies will try to distract you with smaller, quicker blows while the husk advances, and once he gets to you, its all over."
• The 1.12 notes add: "Husk does not have increased attack range to vanilla, im not sure why people thought they did".
• The 1.12.2 notes recommend Easy or Normal to players who don't enjoy "getting one-tapped by husks".
