Behavior

Lobber zombies mostly acted like normal zombies in terms of damage and behavior, attacking players, mobs of me, furnace golems, and melon golems by walking up to and attacking them. However, they also had a ranged attack where they would throw a rotten flesh projectile at their target from afar to deal a small amount of damage.
