Talk:Mob

They are not duplicates because if you have a skin in single player they still are skinned to the default player. --Robodoggy 23:36, 10 July 2009 (UTC) Ok, will change. Thanks :) SteGriff 09:41, 11 July 2009 (UTC) They are still in singleplayer? I thought notch removed them.--Ten Tacles 16:53, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Chickens
I have had a chicken drop more than 1 feather, the page is incorrect. also now that their are chickens what do zombies drop?
 * Zombies still drop feathers. --Coolpilot 23:55, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

I found an egg outside of my fortress the morning after a chicken was wandering around it that night. I assume this is relevant...--SeriesOfBeeps 01:32, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, chickens occasionally drop eggs while alive. Hasn't that been added here yet...? --Coolpilot 2:18, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * As said above chickens DO in fact lay eggs. I've trapped them.
 * Is it normal for chickens to be able to walk through a half block? I had a setup like this,

Side view D DH    D   D Basically the chicken walked through the half block hole to the dirt wall behind it. -DrWhoCares


 * Has anyone else had chickens dropping leather on survival multiplayer when killed with fire? I've had it happen several times on several servers, but not consistently. Its very obviously a bug although I've not had the opportunity to test it extensively on singleplayer. — Balthazar 21:32, 4 September 2010 (CDT)

Humans
I was playing Survival mode almost twelve hours ago and by chance came upon a lone human mob. It would not move from the spot where it stood and did not react to being struck, beyond flashing red and being pushed back. A good few blows killed it and its body never disappeared. Nothing dropped from it either. I checked Notch's development blog and it mentions nothing that might be related to this. Should this have happened? SteveZombie 00:28, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Zombies
Can they swim? From what I've seen they can't. Anyone else have the same observation?

Zombies can swim. I see them do it all the time. --Coolpilot 19:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

There is also hidden giant zombie mob, its entity name is "Giant". Its probably one from Notch's video.

--Katnipz 23:13, 29 July 2010 (UTC) Zombies can swim, sort of, they can swim but not dive unless jumping off a ledge.

Pigs eating
Do they really eat mushrooms?

--Katnipz 23:11, 29 July 2010 (UTC) No, also, please use a signature.

Rana
Any chance we could get an in game picture of her from one of the old versions? --Zaneo 19:44, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Skeletons
I was killing mobs trapped in my mob trap when I heard the sound of lots of arrows being fired. When I looked outside I saw two skeletons fighting each other which went on till one died. The survivor turned it's attention to me and fell in my trap where I killed it. Has anyone else seen skeletons fight each other? Is this intentional or a bug?


 * I recognize this, think something similar happened to me a while ago, not sure it was skeletons though, but definitely a mob killing another mob. --Genemos 23:54, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * it is intentional. it's funny. if a skeleton hits a creeper, it goes to the creeper and blows it up. mob in-fighting is actually pretty useful. --Kizzycocoa 00:11, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Kizzycocoa it is unintentional, notch just decided to keep it. --Katnipz 01:14, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * woah, really? that seems impossible. to code it so that they turn on each other seems to be a feature, not an accident o-o --Kizzycocoa 10:40, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Difficulty
What does the change in difficulty do?Does it increase hitpoint of enemies or what?--Vibhor 16:51, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Slimes
Slimes come in three sizes: small, medium and large. Large slimes take two hits, the other sizes take one (with a sword). Upon death, large slimes split into 4 medium slimes. They get around by bouncing. Also, slimes are easier to kill when you have the Flint and Tinder.

the balls they drop are nothing like snowballz,wth is their use?--Vibhor 05:50, 29 July 2010 (UTC) They also(the big ones)spawn in peaceful mode,Just checked recently,Killing one spawned 2 small ones and three slime balls but I still am looking for the use of them--Vibhor 06:38, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Mob names
I'm seeing some conflict with mobs and their names. Sometimes they are capitalized other times they are not If we make a page they should be all one type of noun. So should they be proper nouns, "The Creepers creep," or just normal nouns, "The creepers creep"

Formatting
Something went weird with the formatting and now everything is out of place, somebody who knows how to fix should give it a try. --Zaneo 19:44, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * the wiki is lagging a LOT. give it an hour or two. --Kizzycocoa 19:45, 26 July 2010 (UTC)


 * We wouldnt need this weird formatting if we just split the page into articles for each mob.Toadbert

Splitting
I think we should split this into a page for each mob and also have a page redirecting to each mob page. There is going to be a BUNCH of mobs in the near updates i think, it's going to get confusing fast and just easier to have it split. --Katnipz 01:18, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * There are not enough mobs around yet to split the article up. Maybe we'll do this in the future, but for now, there is no need for this.--Quatroking - Garble Garble! 01:27, 30 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Im agreeing with katnipz, each mob is capable of their own article and doesn't need to be all in one page. This article should just explain what mobs are and possibly list the types. I dont see why there has to be more mobs to split up the article... Toadbert


 * I agree too, page is getting a bit unwieldily. Also it would make vandalism more tedious for the vandal Llamageddon 9:12, 31 July, 2010 (GMT)

Bulls = Cows?
When looking in the minecraft.jar, I noticed that there is only ONE mob skin for cows, and it is the "bull" skin. The old cow skin is gone. So, aren't bulls and cows then the same thing? --Coolpilot 20:44, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I....am not sure. probably are the same then maybe? --Kizzycocoa 20:55, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps they were removed until milk gets working properly... Megadog 04:08, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * So this implies we have been milking bulls... --Dnmr 01:23, 2 September 2010 (CDT)

Creepers
In Alpha, Creepers drop Gold Records, just found one. - Cyris 05:34, 02 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I can confirm that Creepers drop Gold Records when killed by Skeletons. Just did it two different times and got a Gold record each time. --Gzalzi 19:04, 20 August 2010 (PDT)
 * I also confirm that every time Creeper is killed by the Skeleton it drops a Record (Green as well). Did it 5 times - 2 Green and 3 Gold Records.--HYBRID-BEING 14:59, 1 September 2010 (CDT)

Spawning of friendly mobs
Just for a better reference, someone should include the conditions of spawning friendly mobs. I would like to know if grass or a certain amount of light is required for them to spawn. It seems that cows mysteriously spawn inside my underground farm. They seem to spawn on a field of grass I created adjacent to it.Timithy4569 22:45, 22 August 2010 (PDT)

Missing three mobs
Where are Steve, Black Steve and beast boy, why are they not here? no, just, no. we've had enough fake mobs for one day, thanks.--Kizzycocoa 05:11, 1 September 2010 (PDT)


 * They are not fake, they were implemented for a very short time in Indev, and were made by Dock. Steve and Black Steve, Beast Boy. --HYBRID-BEING 14:47, 1 September 2010 (CDT)
 * well, wow. I never saw that. must have been close to dock's leaving. I guess they could be added.--Kizzycocoa 15:00, 1 September 2010 (CDT)

Sheeps
Do they grow wool in Alpha or was that cut with grass-eating?
 * All sheep have wool on them, you can hit them once with anything (even a sword) to collect the wool without killing them. --Tiwuno 15:00, 3 September 2010 (CDT)
 * wrong answer


 * no, they do not re-grow wool. idk how long that's been for though.--Kizzycocoa 15:20, 3 September 2010 (CDT)

Skeletons riding spiders
This feature was added with the Seecret friday 8 patch. How should we go about making this? Should we have a note on one, or both of the mobs involved or should it have its own section? It isn't a single entity as can be seen in the video but is like a player riding a boat or a cart but it might be more aesthetically pleasing on the wiki. Also one piece of information is still needed. Do the enemies spawn together like this or do they form when the two enemy mobs collide when wandering about randomly?
