Husk

What Is Husk in Minecraft?

The Husk is a desert-dwelling Zombie that doesn't burn in sunlight, so it can chase you down in broad daylight instead of just at night.

What Can Husks Do in Minecraft?

• Unlike regular Zombies, Husks never burn in direct sunlight, which lets them stay active and dangerous during the day.
• An unarmed hit from a Husk gives you Hunger for a few seconds, making it harder to keep your food bar up during a long fight.
• Husks avoid water and never drown on their own, but if one is fully submerged for 30 seconds it slowly turns into a regular Zombie.
• On Hard difficulty, some Husks can break through wooden doors, just like Zombies.
• They sometimes spawn riding a Camel in a Husk jockey, carrying an Iron Spear.

How to Fight Husks

• Block with a Shield or keep an item in your hand to stop the Hunger effect from an unarmed hit.
• Luring a Husk into water starts turning it into a regular Zombie, which burns in sunlight and is easier to finish off.
• Watch for armored Husks on Hard difficulty. They can hit much harder than an unarmed one.

How to Stay Safe from Husks

• Husks spawn at light level 0 in deserts, so torches and other light sources around a desert base still help.
• Since Husks don't fear sunlight, build fences or walls around desert bases rather than relying on daylight for safety.
• Sleeping in a Bed still skips the night, but remember Husks can keep hunting you during the day too.
