The Skeleton Trap is one of the rarer surprises in vanilla Minecraft, and Zombie Horsemen builds a second version of it for the undead. Somewhere out in the dark, an ordinary-looking zombie is secretly a trap, and when it goes off four riders on zombie horses are summoned at once, ready for a fight most players are not equipped for.
Every Zombie Horseman is properly geared: an iron helmet on its head, an iron axe in hand and a shield to hide behind, all carried into battle on a zombie horse. That gear and those tactics make them a far more dangerous opponent than the zombies that usually shuffle past a base at night, and beating one is rewarded with the loot dropped by both the zombie and its horse.
The odds are kept low — a 0.25% chance per night for any given zombie — so an encounter stays a rare event rather than a nightly routine. It runs as either a mod or a datapack, covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and is fully compatible with multiplayer servers, where a whole group can be caught out by the same trap.
