Zombie

Zombies only appear in surface-level biomes during the night time and are one of the first monsters a player will encounter. Their preferred attack pattern is to move towards the player; jumping rather high to accomplish this. They also try to break down Wooden Doors, but can only succeed during a Blood Moon. They do not actually break the door, but only open it. They will always leave at dawn, even if half-way through attacking a player. Zombies follow Fighter AI.

If one wishes to avoid zombies entirely during a Blood Moon, covering doorways with any material such as Dirt or Stone will stop the zombies from entering your home. Also placing a door above the ground level, or digging a trench that is the height of 2 blocks forces them to jump at the door, during which they can't open your door.
