Husk

Mobs & entity

The Husk is a hostile mob that spawns naturally in the Desert biome. A spawn egg for it also exists, so players can place one without waiting for it to appear.

Players defeat Husks to collect their drops. A killed Husk can leave behind Rotten Flesh, a Rabbit's Foot, an Iron Ingot, a Carrot, or a Potato.

Stats

Mojang publishes these numbers in the Bedrock behaviour pack (bedrock-samples); the Java edition keeps them in code, not in any data file. Most values match across editions, but not all — treat them as the Bedrock figures.
