Drifter

Spawning

In any location a Zombie would spawn in one of the following biomes, a Drifter spawns instead.

• Snowy Plains

• Ice Spikes

• Frozen Peaks

• Jagged Peaks

• Snowy Slopes

• Frozen Ocean

• Deep Frozen Ocean

• Grove

• Frozen River

• Snowy Taiga

• Snowy Beach

Drifters have a 2/3 chance of spawning with Leather Boots, either undyed or dyed white. They don't spawn with any extra gear or items.

Drops

Guaranteed drops:

• 0-2 Rotten Flesh (amount boosted by Looting)

• 0-2 Ice (amount boosted by Looting)

Rare drops (these drops aren't guaranteed, and the mob must be killed by a player or tamed Wolf):

• 1 Iron Ingot

• 1 Blue Ice

• 1 Packed Ice

Rare drop chance is boosted by Looting.

Drifters can drop Mob Souls.

Behavior

Drifters use melee attacks on nearby players. If you're hit by a Drifter, you get the Slowness III effect for 10 seconds.

Otherwise, Drifters act like Zombies, with the following exceptions:

• They cannot pick up dropped items.

• They have no baby variant.

• They have different voices.
