I am making an aesthetic piece and I am wondering what mobs can me made persistent?
I think I vaguely remember something with zombies equipping items?
Are witches transformed from villagers persistent? Zombie pigmen from pigs etc?

Re: Persistent mobs
Any mob that has the ability to pick up items won't despawn if it's holding something it picked up. (I once had a zombie holding wool trapped in a pool by my base for many a minecraft week before I accidentally fell in and it killed me.) I'm not sure whether just having the ability to pick up items is enough, or if it has to actually be holding something.

Re: Persistent mobs
Witches found in witch huts seem to be fairly permanent. I've had my 'pet' for over a year now.
Phantom screams echo through the ruined facility
A horrible silence builds an eerie tranquility
The souls of many innocent fill the air
The hope they all died with scattered down there

a forum user after being told they couldnt do something wrote:Alright, that's all I wanted to know, thank you very much.
I think that this closes the issue. Thread can be locked.

I'm on a server so that is not an option.Ancilangeli wrote:All entities can be made persistent if you're willing to edit the nbt tags
Thanks for that. I suspected it was something like that, so I should be able to do zombie and pigman.gaga654 wrote:Any mob that has the ability to pick up items won't despawn if it's holding something it picked up
I don't have a hut witch nearby so that wont be an option. I'm hoping a village turned witch will be persistent but have not had the opportunity to test that.EtherealWrath wrote:Witches found in witch huts seem to be fairly permanent

Re: Persistent mobs
Only zombies and zombie pigmen can pick up items, and they have to have picked up an item to be persistent. Not sure about the other cases.

Re: Persistent mobs
I have certainly seen some skeletons with swords and heads equipped in my mob trap, as well as some wearing my gear after killing me. But yeah, they only persist after they pick up some item.dawnraider wrote:Only zombies and zombie pigmen can pick up items, and they have to have picked up an item to be persistent.

Re: Persistent mobs
witches from villagers are persistent. also skellies, zombies and wither skellies can be made persistent. be sure that they receive a helmet so they don't burn in the morning.
zombie pigmen can be persistent too
