✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026

Summons a zombie with the glowing flag so its outline shows through walls, handy for marking a target mob during events or in a mob-farm demo. On Bedrock, spawn the mob first and apply the glowing effect with a command. The outline color follows the mob's team color if it has one.
