Mobs in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains all about mobs with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

Mobs in Minecraft are living creatures that move around in the game. The term mob is short for mobile and is commonly used in the game to refer to living, moving creatures such as bats, chickens, cows, horses, mooshrooms, ocelots, pigs, rabbits, sheep, snow man, squids, villagers, blazes, creepers, ender dragons, ghasts, giants, skeletons, slimes, witches, wither bosses, zombies, zombified piglins, spiders, and wolves.

In Creative mode, mobs do not attack you. However in Survival and Hardcore modes, mobs can be passive, neutral, or hostile. Let's explain what this means.

  • Passive mobs will never attack you.
  • Hostile mobs will attack you when they see you.
  • Neutral mobs will only attack during the day, if attacked first.

Here is the list of mobs in Minecraft.
