| Hostility Level | Neutral Mob |
|---|---|
| Health Points | 10 health points x 5 |
| Where to Find | In the Frozen Peaks, Jagged Peaks and Snowy Slopes biomes |
| Weapon | None |
| Attack Method | Currently does not attack (in a future release, the goat will ram you) |
| Drops | None |
| Experience Points | 1-3 experience points |
Hostility Level (Neutral)
A goat is a neutral mob. The term mob is short for mobile and is used to refer to all living, moving creatures in the game such as chickens, creepers, and goats. Because a goat is a neutral mob, it will only attack you in Survival mode if you attack the goat first. It will never attack you in Creative mode.
Health Points
In Minecraft, a goat has 5 hearts for health. This gives a goat 10 health points (because 1 heart = 2 health points). To kill a goat, you need to inflict 10 points of damage to the goat.
Where to Find Goats
In Minecraft, you can find goats in the Frozen Peaks, Jagged Peaks and Snowy Slopes biomes.
Frozen Peaks
Jagged Peaks
Snowy Slopes
If you are having trouble finding a goat, you can summon a goat using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.
Weapon
A goat does not carry a weapon.
Attack Method
As of Minecraft 1.17 and 1.18, you are safe to walk near a goat and it will not attack or cause you any damage. And if you attack a goat, it will just run around. It will not attack you back.
Drops
When you kill a goat in Minecraft, it will currently not drop anything. This may change in a future release of Minecraft.
Experience Points
As you play the game, you will gain experience. The most common way to gain experience is by killing mobs. When a mob is killed you will see tiny green and yellow balls appear and move towards you.
These orbs represent experience points. When you kill a goat, you will gain 1-3 experience points.
