They still attack and do the animation but nothing is damaged. If there are enough of them they will pile up and eventually kill each other off."

What's the point of having zombie's on?

Just because they don't break everything doesn't mean they aren't a threat y'know

Yeah, it pretty much does. At your base, they become a 100% non issue. And out and about, you can build terrain blocks of your own to block doorways, or pillar upwards a few blocks with and be untouchable. Or dig 3 blocks down and place one over your head to be untouchable.

If zombies cannot dig what is between them and you, they cannot reach you, ergo, you become untouchable, and zombies become not a threat.
