I went into the wild in search of cows and came across a zombie that was on fire, as I aproached it, the thing ran at me (much quicker than a normal zombie, when it touched me I caught on fire. I also noticed that a name popped up above it as though it had been in an anvil. Does this have to do with the EMC update?
Yeah, new mob. Enraged zombie. Enraged mobs are Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger(Ba dum tss) but drop better loot.
