How do you summon a zombie on a zombie horse

What is the command to summon a zombie on a zombie horse?

Best Answer

There is no single command to accomplish this task in Bedrock Edition ₁. However, with that in mind, it can be done with multiple commands.

Note: This answer assumes you're aware of how the summon and ride commands work.

Summoning Jockeys

The summon command can only be used to summon specific jockeys ₁ which does not include a zombie jockey:

Only some jockeys can be summoned via commands: Skeleton Trap and a Ravager being rode by an Evoker, Pillager or a Vindicator.

_{Note: This quote has been paraphrased for the sake of brevity. For more complete information, please check the wiki article on summoning jockeys.}

Break it Down

To accomplish your desired result, you'll need to summon a zombie horse, followed by a zombie, then finally execute a ride command targeted at the two:

summon zombie_horse
summon zombie
ride @e[type=zombie,r=5] start_riding @e[type=zombie_horse,r=5] teleport_rider

Minecraft – How to summon mobs to dropped items

/summon doesn't take a a target to summon the mob at, so you'll need to use /execute, and selectors can't select items by type, so you'll need to use /scoreboard players set (which can set a score for items with specific NBT data) to set the entity's score first, and then select it based on that scoreboard objective.

First, set up a dummy scoreboard objective that we will use to keep track of items that are iron ingots:

/scoreboard objectives add isIronIngot dummy

Then run this on a clock, to set all dropped iron ingot's isIronIngot score to 1:

/scoreboard players set @e[type=Item] isIronIngot 1 {Item:{id:"minecraft:iron_ingot"}}

Now, whenever you want to spawn a zombie at the iron ingots, use this command:

/execute @e[score_isIronIngot_min=1] ~ ~ ~ /summon Zombie

Which will make anything with an isIronIngot score of (at least) 1 summon a zombie.

To have this only work with ingots named "Zombie", replace the second command with:

/scoreboard players set @e[type=Item] isIronIngot 1 {Item:{id:"minecraft:iron_ingot",tag:{display:{Name:"Zombie"}}}}

Minecraft – How to tame a zombie horse

"Adult horses, donkeys, and mules can be tamed, but not zombie horses or skeleton horses. With an empty hand mount the horse repeatedly; when it no longer bucks the player and shows hearts, it is tamed. It is necessary to tame a horse in order to breed it, give it equipment, or ride it for any length of time. Taming depends on the horse's "temper". Horses begin with a temper of 0 out of 100. When a player is riding the horse, a random number 0–99 is chosen. The horse becomes tame if this number is less than the temper, otherwise the temper is increased by 5 and the player is bucked off. Temper can also be increased by feeding the horse."
