Zombie Mounts, Spears, and Netherite Armor Arrive in Minecraft

The Mounts of Mayhem update isn’t just about underwater creatures—Minecraft now features new Zombie Horses, Camel Husks, and the dangerous Parched archer roaming desert biomes.
Mojang also added the long-requested Spear, a melee weapon that hits harder the faster you move—perfect for mounted combat or even pairing with an Elytra. Plus, players can finally craft Netherite horse armor to protect their undead steeds.
With this likely being 2025’s final major drop, fans are already eyeing what 2026 will bring.
