Los Errantes son criaturas hostiles comunes que tienen tanto un ataque cuerpo a cuerpo como a distancia, y son la única criatura hostiles que puede aparecer tanto en la superficie como en el subsuelo.

Aparición

Los Errantes pueden aparecer en cualquier bloque de aire o hierba alta con un nivel de luz inferior a 9.

En la superficie, sólo pueden aparecer Errantes de superficie, aunque están limitados a aparecer en un radio de 25 bloques de una grieta temporal.

Behavior

Drifters will wander around aimlessly until they spot a player within 20 blocks, at which point they will begin pursuing said player.

Attacking

Melee

If a drifter reaches a player, they will attempt to swipe at them with their arms. The damage of this attack depends on the type of drifter, and has a cooldown between 0.5s and 1.75s.

Rock throwing

If a drifter is within 15 blocks of a player but cannot path to them, they may stop and throw a rock at them instead, every 1 to 10 seconds. This ranged attack deals 1 damage, regardless of the drifter's type. Drifters can throw rocks over blocks that are too tall to jump over, such as fences and fence gates. The rocks disappear once thrown and cannot be picked up by the player. This rock projectile can sometimes hit the drifter who threw it, or even other drifters.

Fleeing

Drifters have a chance to flee from the player in sunlight. The amount of light required varies depending on the type of drifter:

Type	Light level
Surface	0.925
Deep	0.97
Tainted	2
Corrupt	2
Nightmare	2
Double-headed	2

Drifters may also flee from a player upon receiving damage. They will continue to flee for up to 10 seconds, or if they manage to get more than 12 blocks away from the player. The chance for them to flee once again depends on the type of drifter:

Type	Chance
Surface	15%
Deep	7%
Tainted	3%
Corrupt	1.5%
Nightmare	1%
Double-headed	1%

• According to the story excerpt Ghosts, drifters have a metallic smell.
• Prior to version 1.18, drifters could spawn in light level 9 or below.
