A '''mob''' is an AI-driven game [[entity]] resembling a living creature. The term "mob" is short for "mobile entity".<ref>[[wikipedia:Mob (gaming)]] or a single entity in a group when referring to Minecraft.</ref>  All mobs can be attacked and hurt (from [[Falling damage|falling]], attacked by [[player]] or another mob, falling into the [[void]], 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, whilst 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/structures, depending on the light level, biome and surface material.]]
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, whilst hostile monsters are commonly found in the dark (whether if it’s a [[cave]], [[dungeon]], [[woodland mansion|mansion]] or at night). Animals usually spawn upon chunk generation, while hostile monsters spawn and despawn in certain radii 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 also breed randomly depending on the time of day and the number of [[bed]]s (though they can’t be directly bred by the [[player]]). Most mobs never spawn on [[Opacity|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]] needs to "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 4 [[end crystal]]s.

[[Player]]s can also spawn mobs easily by using [[spawn egg]]s in [[Creative mode]], or the {{cmd|summon}} command. 

=== Despawning ===
{{main|Spawn#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 hostiles do. {{IN|Bedrock}}, almost all passive or hostile mobs despawn.

== 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 [[physics]], and they can be [[Damage|hurt]] by the same things that harm the player (catching on fire, falling, drowning, attacked by weapons, /kill, etc.). Some mobs may be resistant or immune to certain hazards, such as Nether mobs, which are immune to fire. Mobs like [[cod]], [[salmon]], [[tropical fish]], [[pufferfish]], [[drowned]], [[guardian]], [[elder guardian]] cannot be drowned. 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 nearby and usually avoid walking off blocks high enough to cause falling damage. Many mobs have an advanced pathfinding system that allows them to navigate through obstacles to get to a desired object or destination. [[Mobs#Passive|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. [[Mobs#Neutral|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 attack the entity that hit it. Most mobs are aware of players within 16 [[block]]s of them, but some can see farther. Conversely, most mobs can be heard by players up to 16 blocks (spherical) away.

Most mobs cannot see through most solid blocks, including semi-transparent blocks such as ice, glass, tall grass, or glass panes. Mobs do not attempt to walk on [[rail]] tracks unless pushed on by other mobs.

== 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 attack the player, even when provoked or attacked. Most of them are breedable and/or tameable.

===Neutral mobs===
Neutral mobs are sometimes passive and sometimes hostile toward the player. Many neutral mobs become hostile only when attacked first, but other neutral mobs have other ways of being provoked. Some may be naturally hostile with provocation.

=== Boss mobs ===
Boss mobs are special hostile mobs that are distinctly more dangerous and tougher than other mobs. They do not spawn randomly, and are confronted intentionally. They also have a boss bar featuring their name and health. Boss mobs provide unique challenges but also equivalent rewards. Some players also consider [[elder guardians]], [[ravagers]], [[evokers]], [[piglin brutes]], [[Skeleton Horse|skeleton horsemen]] and [[illusioners]] as mini bosses, even though they don't have a bar.

== Mob vote ==
In the four annual Minecraft events [[MINECON Earth 2017]], [[MINECON Earth 2018]], [[MINECON Live 2019]] and [[Minecraft Live 2020]], the public voted on a mob to be added to ''Minecraft''. In the first vote, the winner was the [[phantom]] (then known as 'Mob B' or 'The Monster of the Night Skies'). In the second, the winner was the taiga biome which mainly added the [[Fox]] mob. In the third, the winner was the mountain biome which mainly added the [[Goat]] mob. In the fourth, the winner was the [[glow squid]].

== Classification ==
=== 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.]]
{{For|the mob class in ''Minecraft Dungeons''|MCD:Undead}}
This group of mobs includes [[drowned]], [[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) 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]],{{only|java}} and are ignored by withers.

Most undead mobs have the ability to pick up [[item]]s. Some can 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 mob}}
This group of mobs includes [[axolotl]]s, [[dolphin]]s, [[squid]]s, [[glow squid]]s, [[guardian]]s, [[elder guardian]]s, [[turtle]]s, [[cod]], [[salmon]], [[pufferfish]], and [[tropical fish]], but not drowned.<ref>[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]</ref> They take extra damage from tridents enchanted with [[Impaling]],{{only|java}}{{until|Java Combat Tests}} and 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 {{el|bedrock}} there is no in-game classification for these mobs.

=== Arthropods ===
[[File:Live Spider.png|thumb|right|A [[spider]].]]
{{For|the mob class in ''Minecraft Dungeons''|MCD:Arthropod}}
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 [[Bane of Arthropods]].

=== Illagers ===
[[File:raid.png|thumb|right|Illagers attacking villagers on a raid]]
{{Main|Illager}}
{{For|the mob class in ''Minecraft Dungeons''|MCD:Illager}}
This group includes [[pillager]]s, [[illusioner]]s, [[evoker]]s, [[vindicator]]s, and [[ravager]]s{{only|be}}. They are immune to evoker fangs [[damage]] and ignored by vindicators named "Johnny". They are hostile toward [[villager]]s, [[wandering trader]]s, [[iron golem]]s and [[player]]s in [[Survival]] or [[Adventure]] mode. [[Witch]]es, and [[vex]]es may accompany them in [[raid]]s. Illusioners (and witches{{only|bedrock}}) can see players or targets through blocks. Vindicators named "Johnny" attack [[ravager]]s, as they are not illagers{{only|java}}.

=== Knockback resistance ===
Some non-boss mobs resist a percentage of [[Damage#Knockback|knockback]] from attacks.

==Trivia==

*Renaming a mob "Dinnerbone" or "Grumm" using a [[spawn egg]] or [[name tag]] causes it to flip upside down.
*Renaming a [[sheep]] "jeb_" makes its wool change color with a smooth transition between colors. 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.<ref>{{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}}</ref>
*[[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 and villagers can see players with the invisibility effect.
*There are many [[blocks]] in the game that do not take up a full block, and mobs actually see many of these as full blocks.
**With some blocks, mobs mistake them for [[air]], such as [[carpets]], [[snow]], and [[string]].
