Yes, zombies can break copper doors, though only a specific portion of the zombie population possesses this capability.
How Zombies Interact with Copper Doors
While any zombie may attempt to pathfind through a door, only a select few are strong enough to destroy it. Approximately 5% of all zombies that spawn in the game are inherently capable of breaking doors, including newly introduced copper doors. This behavior typically occurs when zombies are trying to reach a player, villager, or iron golem on the other side.
Other Mobs That Can Break Copper Doors
Beyond zombies, other hostile mobs can also pose a threat to your copper doors under certain conditions. Vindicators, a type of illager, are another mob known for their door-breaking abilities:
- Vindicators that spawn as part of a raid, specifically on Normal or Hard difficulty settings, are able to destroy copper doors.
- Their door-breaking actions are targeted; they will only break doors to reach players, villagers, or wandering traders.
Summary of Door-Breaking Abilities
The table below summarizes which common hostile mobs can break copper doors and under what circumstances:
| Mob Type | Can Break Copper Doors? | Conditions for Breaking Doors |
