This layer can’t be obtained through codes or external purchases, but by completing a specific challenge within the game itself, making it one of those special rewards that Mojang usually reserves for special events.

How to unlock the Zombie Horse Layer for free in Minecraft

To get it, you need to meet all the following requirements within Minecraft Bedrock Edition:

• Have Minecraft Bedrock Edition

• Access Survival mode

• Use the new spear

• Defeat 5 enemies using that weapon

Once you’ve completed the challenge, the layer will be automatically assigned to your account. It will arrive first on the Bedrock version, and then it will sync with Minecraft Java Edition, a process that may take up to 30 days.

This is a purely aesthetic item, but since it’s free and limited-time, it’s a great opportunity to expand your collection before it disappears. If you play Minecraft regularly, it’s worth completing the challenge as soon as possible and securing the reward.
