Husk

Registry name

etfuturum:husk

Audit correction: previously written as etfuturum.husk (wrong separator). Evidence: core/proxy/CommonProxy.java:206 registerEntity(EntityHusk.class, "husk", 4, ...)

Basic info

• Health: Inherited from EntityZombie — standard zombie health (20 HP base)

• Armor: Inherited from EntityZombie

• Size: 0.6 × 1.8 (width × height)

• Spawn conditions: No natural spawn is registered by default. The husk is registered as an entity, but EntityRegistry.addSpawn(EntityHusk.class, ...) sits inside an if (ConfigWorld.oldHuskSpawning) block, and oldHuskSpawning defaults to false (configuration/configs/ConfigWorld.java:202). With the default config the husk therefore never spawns naturally at all — it is obtainable only via spawn egg / commands.

  When oldHuskSpawning = true, the logic is: in biomes that are simultaneously SANDY + DRY + HOT (deserts), vanilla zombie spawn is removed and replaced by EntityZombie weight 20 + EntityHusk weight 80, both group 4–4 — i.e. husks are 80% of zombie spawns, and they spawn regardless of sky exposure. Evidence: core/proxy/CommonProxy.java:209-219.

  Audit correction: the previous text said “desert biomes; standard zombie spawn rules (light level ≤ 7, etc.)” — that described neither the 80:20 weight split nor the fact that the whole thing is off by default. The config’s own description (ConfigWorld.java:202) states the default behaviour is “replacing 80% of zombies exposed to the sky in the right biomes”.

Configuration gate

• Entity registration: ConfigEntities.enableHusk, key enableHusks, default ON (ConfigEntities.java:59).
• Natural spawning: ConfigWorld.oldHuskSpawning, default OFF (ConfigWorld.java:202) → no natural husks by default. Forced ON when OptiFine is detected (CommonProxy.java:196-199).
• Drops: Inherited from EntityZombie (rotten flesh, rarely iron ingot/ingots with Looting)
• Behaviour: Desert variant of zombie. Same AI as zombie with two key differences: ignores sunlight (never burns), and deals Hunger effect on hit.

Key differences from Zombie

Feature	Husk	Zombie
Sunlight	Ignores it (always brightness=0)	Burns in sunlight
Effect on hit	Hunger (140 × difficulty ticks)	None
Drops	Same as zombie	Same

Notes

• Extends EntityZombie directly; all zombie mechanics (spawning, equipment, attributes) apply
• onLivingUpdate: sets ignoreSunlight=true → calls super.onLivingUpdate() → resets, forcing brightness to 0 during the update tick
• Sound IDs: minecraft:entity.husk.ambient, .hurt, .death, .step
• Spawn egg returns the standard zombie spawn egg via ModEntityList.getEggFromEntity
