{{For|mobs in the spin-off games of Minecraft|Dungeons:Mob|Earth:Mob|Story Mode:Mob|Legends:Mob}} {{for|the [[Java Edition Classic|Classic]] mob named simply 'mob'|Mob (entity)}} {{for|the children's book series|Mobs of Minecraft}} [[File:Minecraft mobs preview.png|thumb|right|Some mobs from ''[[Minecraft]]''.|alt=A render depicting various animals and monsters (collectively known as "mobs") from the game.]] [[File:Mobs 1.21.png|thumb|right|Every mob {{In|Java}}.]] A '''mob''' (short for '''mobile''', '''mobile entity''', or '''mobile object'''){{w|Mob (video games)}} or a single entity in a group when referring to ''Minecraft''. is an AI-driven game [[entity]]. All mobs can be attacked and hurt (from [[Falling damage|falling]], attacked by a [[player]] or another mob, falling into the [[void]], hit by an [[arrow]], etc), and have some form of voluntary movement. Different types of mobs often have unique AI and [[loot]]. == Spawning == {{main|Spawn#Spawn cycle|title1=Spawn cycle}} [[File:Mob Habitat Collage.png|alt=Most monsters are found in dark areas such as caves, while most animals are found commonly in bright light levels. Most other mobs are also found in different biomes/structures.|thumb|Different mobs spawn in diverse habitats, depending on the light level, biome, and surface material.]] [[File:OverWorld Monsters.png|thumb|right|Some of the many monsters that can spawn in the [[Overworld]]. From left to right: [[zombie]], [[spider]], [[enderman]], [[creeper]], [[skeleton]], [[drowned]], [[witch]], and [[slime]].]] Mobs [[spawn]] in various ways. Most mobs spawn naturally, depending on the [[light level]], [[biome]], and their surroundings. For example, most animals are found in bright areas on the surface, while hostile monsters are commonly found in the dark (whether it's a [[cave]], [[monster room]], [[woodland mansion|mansion]], or at night). Animals usually spawn upon chunk generation, while hostile monsters spawn and despawn in a certain radius around the player. Some mobs, including passive and neutral animals, and even [[hoglin]]s, have the ability to be [[Breeding|bred]] by the [[player]], creating offspring. [[Villager]]s cannot be directly bred by the player, instead randomly breeding depending on the time of day and the number of [[bed]]s, which allows players to manipulate their likelihood of breeding. Most mobs never spawn on [[transparent]] blocks, in water (except fish, dolphins, turtles, and other aquatic creatures), in lava (except for [[strider]]s), on [[bedrock]], or on blocks [[Solid block#Height|less than a full block tall]] (such as [[slab]]s placed on the bottom half). The exception is [[monster spawners]], from which monsters can spawn naturally on any block including [[air]]. Some mobs (like the [[snow golem]] and the [[wither]]) require that the [[player]] "construct" them before being able to spawn. The [[iron golem]] can spawn naturally and can also be constructed. The [[ender dragon]] can be respawned with four [[end crystal]]s. A rare occurrence of spawning are the [[jockey]] mobs, which is a mob riding another mob. [[Player]]s can also spawn mobs easily by using [[spawn egg]]s in [[Creative mode]] or the {{cmd|summon}} command. === Despawning === {{main|Mob spawning#Despawning}} Many mobs despawn (cease to exist) after a certain amount of time if far enough from the player. {{IN|Java}}, most passive mobs do not despawn, while most monsters do. {{IN|Bedrock}}, almost all mobs despawn. Mobs can be prevented from despawning if they are named with a [[name tag]] or in a [[boat]]. == Behavior == [[File:Pig smoke death.png|right|thumb|A pig emitting smoke particles upon death.]] Mobs are affected by the environment in the same ways as the player; they are subject to [[Entity#Motion of entities|physics]], and they can be [[Damage|hurt]] by the same things that harm the player (catching on fire, falling, drowning, attacks from weapons, the /kill command, etc.). Some mobs may be resistant or immune to certain hazards, such as some [[Nether]] mobs, which are immune to fire. All [[aquatic]] mobs except [[dolphin]]s are immune to drowning. Mobs can ride [[minecart]]s and other mobs can climb up [[ladder]]s. When mobs are killed, they turn to [[Particles|dust]] and [[drop]] items that may be useful resources. Each type of mob in ''Minecraft'' has a certain AI (artificial intelligence) system with different behaviors and mechanics. Mobs ordinarily wander around at random if there is a player within 32 blocks and usually avoid walking off blocks high enough to cause falling damage. Many mobs have an advanced path-finding system that allows them to navigate through obstacles to get to a desired object or destination. [[Passive mob]]s flee in random directions after being hurt, while [[hostile mob]]s face and chase/attack the [[player]] as soon as the player comes close. [[Neutral mob]]s remain neutral until a player or mob provokes it (usually by attacking), at which point the neutral mob becomes hostile toward and attacks the entity that hit it. Most mobs are aware of players within (a [[Euclidian distance]]) 16 [[block]]s of them, but some can see farther. Conversely, most mobs can be heard by players up to 16 blocks away. Mobs are harmless to players in [[Creative]] mode. Most mobs cannot see through most solid blocks, including semi-transparent blocks such as [[ice]], [[glass]], [[tall grass]], or [[glass pane]]s. {{IN|java}}, all mobs (except for [[warden]]s{{bug|MC-249642||Wardens can't pass over rails|Fixed}}) try to avoid walking over [[rail]]s unless pushed onto the rails by other mobs. {{Clear}} == List of mobs == Mobs are listed and classified by their nature from the player's perspective. For more details on a particular mob, click on them to view their individual page. === Passive mobs === Passive mobs are harmless mobs (except for [[pufferfish]]) that do not attempt to attack the player, even when provoked or attacked, though some of them may attack other mobs. Most of them can be [[bred]] or [[tamed]]. {| style="margin:auto;text-align:center" data-description="Passive mobs" |- | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:AllayFace.png|link=Allay]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:ArmadilloFace.png|link=Armadillo]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:AxolotlFace.png|link=Axolotl]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:BatFace.png|link=Bat]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:CamelFace.png|link=Camel]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:CatFace.png|link=Cat]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:ChickenFace.png|link=Chicken]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:CodBody.png|link=Cod]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:CowFace.png|link=Cow]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:DonkeyFace.png|link=Donkey]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:FrogFace.png|link=Frog]] |- | [[Allay]] | [[Armadillo]] | [[Axolotl]] | [[Bat]] | [[Camel]] | [[Cat]] | [[Chicken]] | [[Cod]] | [[Cow]] | [[Donkey]] | [[Frog]] |} {| style="margin:auto;text-align:center" data-description="Passive mobs" | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:GlowSquidFace.png|link=Glow Squid]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:HorseFace.png|link=Horse]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:MooshroomFace.png|link=Mooshroom]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:MuleFace.png|link=Mule]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:OcelotFace.png|link=Ocelot]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:ParrotFace.png|link=Parrot]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:PigFace.png|link=Pig]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:PufferfishFace.png|link=Pufferfish]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:RabbitFace.png|link=Rabbit]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:SalmonBody.png|link=Salmon]] | style="width:68px" scope="col" | [[File:SheepFace.png|link=Sheep]] |- | [[Glow Squid]] | [[Horse]] | [[Mooshroom]] | [[Mule]] | [[Ocelot]] | [[Parrot]] | [[Pig]] | [[Pufferfish]]

== Classification == Most of the mobs are divided into different types, such as the [[animal]]s or the [[monsters]], but some creatures are assigned to a more detailed group. There are a total of four mob classifications that have different effects than other mobs. (e.g. Undead, Aquatic etc.) === Weaknesses and immunities === Some mobs are weak or immune to certain kinds of damage. Sea creatures, such as [[turtle]]s, take more damage from tridents that are enchanted with [[Impaling]].{{only|java}}{{until|Java Combat Tests}} [[Skeleton]]s and their variants are immune to drowning. All undead mobs are healed by [[potions of Harming]], but take extra damage from weapons enchanted with [[Smite]], along with taking damage from Potions of Healing. Many of these weaknesses and immunities are a result of what category (see below) of mobs that the mob falls into. === Undead mobs === [[File:Zombie Death.png|thumb|right|A dying zombie.]] {{Main|Undead}} This group of mobs includes [[bogged]], [[drowned]], old zombie villagers, [[husk]]s, [[phantom]]s, [[skeleton]]s, [[skeleton horse]]s, [[stray]]s, [[wither]]s, [[wither skeleton]]s, [[zoglin]]s, [[zombie]]s, [[zombie horse]]s, [[zombie villager]]s, and [[zombified piglin]]s. These mobs are damaged by potions of Healing, healed by potions of Harming, and are immune to drowning (except for husks and zombies, which turn into zombies and drowned if drowning, respectively) and poison damage. Zombies, zombie villagers, drowned, skeletons, strays, and phantoms burn when under direct sunlight, unless they are touching water or wearing a helmet. Under the [[Fire Resistance]] effect, undead mobs still catch fire in direct sunlight but do not get hurt by the fire. All undead mobs except for drowned, phantoms, and withers sink in water. All undead mobs take extra damage from weapons enchanted with [[Smite]], and are ignored by withers. Most undead mobs have the ability to pick up [[item]]s. Some can sometimes spawn wearing [[armor]], or holding [[tool]]s or [[weapon]]s. === Aquatic mobs === [[File:Dolphins and Item.png|thumb|right|A [[dolphin]] chasing a [[raw cod]].]] {{Main|Aquatic}} This group of mobs includes [[axolotl]]s, [[dolphin]]s, [[squid]]s, [[glow squid]]s, [[guardian]]s, [[elder guardian]]s, [[tadpole]]s, [[turtle]]s, [[cod]], [[salmon]], [[pufferfish]], and [[tropical fish]], but not drowned.[https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-128249?focusedCommentId=459312&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-459312 MC-128249 - comment from cojomax99] They take extra damage from tridents enchanted with [[Impaling]],{{only|java}}{{until|Java Combat Tests}} and, except axolotl, do not cause pufferfish to inflate nor take damage from them. All aquatic mobs except dolphins are immune to drowning, and all except guardians, elder guardians, and turtles take suffocation damage if out of water for too long. Aquatic mobs have the ability to swim, whereas other mobs simply float on [[water]] or sink. {{IN|bedrock}}, there is no such in-game classification for these mobs. === Arthropods === [[File:Live Spider.png|thumb|right|A [[spider]].]] {{Main|Arthropods}} This group consists of mobs based on {{Wikipedia|Arthropod|arthropods}}, namely [[bee]]s, [[cave spider]]s, [[endermite]]s, [[silverfish]], and [[spider]]s. They take extra damage and receive the [[Slowness]] IV effect when attacked with [[weapon]]s enchanted with the [[Bane of Arthropods]] enchantment. === Illagers === [[File:raid.png|thumb|right|Illagers attacking villagers on a raid]] {{Main|Illager}} This group includes [[pillager]]s, [[illusioner]]s{{only|java|short=1}}, [[evoker]]s, and [[vindicator]]s. They are immune to evoker fangs [[damage]] and ignored by vindicators named "Johnny". They are hostile toward adult [[villager]]s, [[wandering trader]]s, [[iron golem]]s and [[player]]s in [[Survival]] or [[Adventure]] mode. [[Ravager]]s, [[witch]]es, and [[vex]]es accompany them in [[raid]]s but are not illagers themselves. Illusioners (and witches{{only|bedrock}}) can see players or targets through blocks. === Knockback resistance === {{main|Knockback (mechanic)}} Some non-boss mobs resist a certain percentage of [[Knockback (mechanic)|knockback]] from attacks. {| class="wikitable" !

Note that the sheep named "jeb_" drops only the color of wool it had when named (e.g., when a pink sheep is named "jeb_" and then sheared when its color has changed to blue, it still drops pink wool). * Renaming a [[vindicator]] "Johnny" makes it attack all nearby mobs, except other illagers. * Renaming a [[rabbit]] "Toast" gives the rabbit a new texture, as an Easter egg to xyzen420's girlfriend's missing rabbit.{{tweet|TheMogMiner|483935152133775360|@xyZenTV The skin appears only when you name the rabbit Toast using a name tag, it isn't in the random pool:|Jul 1, 2014}} * [[Spider]]s, [[cave spider]]s, [[slime]]s, [[silverfish]], and [[illusioner]]s are some of the few mobs that can see [[player]]s behind walls. * Cats, villagers, and bats can see players with the invisibility effect. * There are many [[blocks]] in the game that do not take up a full block, such as trapdoors, and mobs actually see many of these as full blocks. ** Mobs mistake some blocks for [[air]], such as [[carpet]]s, [[snow]], and [[string]]. * Despite the term mob being derived from mobile entity, supplementary material consistently uses it within the ''Minecraft'' universe. Characters from ''[[Minecraft: Story Mode|Minecraft Story Mode]]'' begin calling monsters mobs starting in ''Order Up'', whereas [[Minecraft Legends:Farnum|Farnum]] refers to himself as a “mobologist.” * Due to the lack of a "living entity" class of entities, [[armor stand]]s, [[camera]]s, and even [[player]]s are internally represented as "mobs" {{in|bedrock}}. This has no direct effect on how these entities behave. However, {{in|java}}, the [[advancements]] and [[statistics]] classify them as mobs. == Gallery == === In other media === Animal Totem JINX.jpg|Official T-shirt artwork "Animal Totem" made by [https://www.jinx.com JINX].
