Minecraft mobs are the living entities in Minecraft – short for mobile, these sometimes adorable, sometimes aggressive creatures roam the many biomes of the blocky universe. They will interact and respond to you, other players, and other mobs, whether that’s a zombie literally knocking at your door, or the chickens in your backyard coop.

There are many aspects that make Minecraft one of the best PC games of all time, and its creatures definitely help – be them mythical or real, hostile or friendly. Minecraft mobs are susceptible to the same physics and environmental changes that affect players, such as catching fire or drowning. They can be attacked and killed with weapons, and when killed, they drop resources and experience points, with hostile mobs dropping rarer items on occasion. So, while you can add other mobs with various Minecraft mods, here’s every Minecraft mob available in the vanilla game right now – and announced for the future.
