Abu's Ash Abomination: A Zombie That Drops Charcoal

Minecraft mobs fulfill different functions and diversify the gameplay. A large number of mods allow you to add new creatures to Minecraft to enrich the game mechanics, get new loot, enjoy new rewards, and supplement some dungeons and locations. We are constantly reviewing both global mods and small add-ons, which bring one or two creatures to the game. This time, we are going to consider a mod belonging to the latter category. It is called Abu's Ash Abomination and adds only one mob to Minecraft. But do not rush to close this page, as this creature will certainly be useful to you.

The Abu's Ash Abomination mod will add an ash zombie, which will resemble the usual zombie from the vanilla game version but has its own style and ash texture. It moves the same way as all the other in-game zombies but drops altogether different loot that will be quite useful for most players.

Review of the Abu's Ash Abomination Mod

The main goal of the mod is to add an ash zombie that would drop charcoal. While earlier you had to process wood into charcoal, now it will be enough to create a special farm that will saturate you with such a resource. As you know, this kind of material is very useful in Minecraft, and such a method will allow you to get the necessary amount of it way faster, given that the ash zombies will spawn as frequently as ordinary mobs.

The ash zombies can appear in any biome. They are immune to fire damage, but when water, say, rain, hits it, their health decreases as the health of the ordinary zombies does in the daylight. Moreover, they do not belong to the undead category and thus have neither armor nor weapons. These mobs can be quickly destroyed with a bow and arrow or enchanted swords. If you decide to create a mob farm, it is reasonable to ensure the fall of these creatures from a great height so that each of them has about 10–20% of their default health points, and you can kill them with one blow.

The appearance of the ash zombies is impressive: they are gray with black inclusions, but their heads and the location of their eyes are more original than those of the ordinary zombies. In general, they look more colorful, so if you would like to try something new, be sure to add the Abu's Ash Abomination mod to your build. It is available for Minecraft 1.12.2 with Forge and currently features only the above content, but the designer promises to add more content as the mod has aroused the interest of players and the Minecraft community.

As we have already noted, after killing each such mob, you will get a certain amount of charcoal, which can be used for crafting. If you need a lot of resources of this type, be sure to create an automated farm. Even in the vanilla version of Minecraft, you will be able to find several chunks where the ash zombies will spawn. Further, you can create a large 'box', completely remove the lighting inside, and place a platform there. The mobs will fall to you from the latter, and you will kill them with an enchanted sword. You can also place funnels and chests to automatically collect resources.

As you can see, the principle of collecting resources is simple. Even though the content of the Abu's Ash Abomination mod is not that rich, it will be a great component of any build if you wish to diversify the game mechanics and simply add new content. It requires Forge, does not lag, and works quite correctly with any build. The new zombies spawn just like the ordinary zombies do. However, they suffer from rain, which is quite predictable, given that they consist of ash. That is all you need to know about the new type of zombie. If you like this mod, be sure to leave your comments below.

If you wish, you can use the spawn egg available in creative mode. To do this, you can use either the standard functionality or the JEI mod, which allows you to get any in-game item in one click. The mod is available only for version 1.12.2. With a certain chance, the spawn egg can cause baby zombies to appear. However, if you try to click on an adult zombie with the egg to get a little zombie, nothing will happen. Unfortunately, this mechanic is not supported by this mod. It remains only to wait for the designer to implement such an option.
