Zombie Horse Cape

The Zombie Horse Cape is a cape that was given out to promote Mounts of Mayhem.

The cape's design is based on the pelt of a zombie horse. In particular, it resembles the part on the side with the partially exposed bones.

The Zombie Horse Cape could be obtained as a reward for the "Spear Mayhem" challenge, which ran from December 12, 2025 at 16:00 UTC to December 15, 2025 at 18:00 UTC. The challenge involved killing 5 mobs using a spear in Survival mode in Bedrock Edition during the time period.[1] The five mobs could be killed separately, and any neutral or hostile mob would count. In addition, going from Creative to Survival mode was allowed.[2]
