Zombie Head - Minecraft Block Guide | Properties, Recipe & Uses (2025)

What is Zombie Head in Minecraft?

A zombie head is a decorative block that looks like the green, blocky head of a zombie. It is one of several mob heads that you can collect in the game. The main purpose of a zombie head is to be a rare trophy and a unique decorative item. Players can place it in their base to show off their achievements or use it to add a bit of spooky decoration to a build. It can also be worn by a player as a helmet, which is a fun way to dress up. It is a classic symbol of the monsters that roam the Minecraft night.

How to get Zombie Head in Minecraft

Getting a zombie head is very difficult and requires a specific and dangerous setup. You cannot craft it, and it does not drop from a zombie under normal circumstances. The only way to get a zombie head is to have a charged creeper blow up a zombie. A charged creeper is a rare and much more powerful version of a regular creeper, which is created when a creeper is struck by lightning. To get a zombie head, you need to lure a creeper near a zombie, then get the creeper struck by lightning (which you can do with a trident enchanted with Channeling during a thunderstorm), and then have the resulting charged creeper explode and defeat the zombie. This is a very challenging task that requires a lot of preparation and luck.

How to use Zombie Head in Minecraft

The main use for a zombie head is for decoration. You can place it on the ground or on a wall at various angles to create a cool trophy display in your base or a spooky detail in a dungeon build. You can also wear a zombie head in your helmet slot. It does not provide any armor protection, but it is a fun way to show off your rare trophy. A special feature is that wearing a zombie head will reduce the detection range of zombies, making them less likely to notice you. You can place a zombie head on top of a note block. When you play the note block, it will produce the ambient sound of a zombie.

My Story

How This All Started

So basically, I was playing Minecraft one night after a long day doing deliveries, and I was trying to remember what drops what and how to craft certain things. Every website I went to was either dead slow, missing loads of stuff, or just looked terrible. I thought "bloody hell, surely I can do better than this?"

By the way, this My Story section is something new I've only just started adding things here! Most of the site was actually built before I ever wrote this part. Now that the website is live, I'm running into problems galore! So if things look a bit rough or unfinished, bear with me I'm updating and adding as I go.

That was probably a mistake.

A half finished story, oh well. I'll keep adding more as I go!

Learning the Hard Way

I knew absolutely nothing about making websites. Like, properly nothing. I didn't even know what PHP was. But I'm stubborn as anything, so I just started watching YouTube tutorials and reading random stuff online while I was on my breaks.

Turns out building a database is harder than it looks. Who knew? I've probably broken this thing more times than I've fixed it. My laptop has definitely been sworn at more than it deserves.

The worst part is when you spend hours trying to figure out why something doesn't work, and it turns out you missed a semicolon. Or when everything works fine on your computer but looks like complete rubbish on someone else's. Fun times.

The Reality of It

Look, I'm not gonna lie this has been a right pain sometimes. I work full time doing deliveries, so most of this gets done late at night when I should probably be sleeping. I've had way too many energy drinks and definitely not enough sleep.

The database has corrupted itself more times than I care to remember. I've had images that wouldn't load for no reason. CSS that worked yesterday but decided to have a tantrum today. The usual web development nightmare stuff.

But every time I get something working properly, it feels brilliant. Like when I finally got all the block images showing up correctly, or when the search actually started finding things. Small wins, but they keep me going.

What I Actually Want to Build

Here's the thing I want this to be your go to place for everything Minecraft. Not just blocks and items, but proper guides, build tutorials, maybe even schematics you can download. Server info, community stuff, the lot.

I know it doesn't look like much right now, and there's loads missing. But I'm working on it. It takes time when you're learning as you go and doing it around a full time job. But I'd rather take my time and do it properly than rush it and end up with something rubbish.

The plan is to make it the kind of site I actually want to use fast, easy to navigate, with everything you need in one place. No endless ads, no broken links, just useful stuff presented in a way that doesn't make you want to throw your computer out the window.

Why I Keep Going

Honestly? Because every time someone uses this site or gives me feedback, it reminds me why I started. I love Minecraft, I love building things (both in game and apparently websites), and I love the community.

Plus, I've learned loads doing this. Sure, I've wanted to give up more times than I can count, but seeing it slowly come together is pretty satisfying. And if it helps other people find what they're looking for without having to trawl through ten different outdated websites, then that's worth it.

So yeah, bear with me while I figure this all out. It's going to take a while, but it'll get there eventually. Thanks for checking it out, and if you spot anything broken or have suggestions, let me know. I'm still learning, but I'm determined to make this work.
