Minecraft mobs are 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.
Many aspects make Minecraft mods, here's every Minecraft mob available in the vanilla game right now – and announced for the future.
Minecraft mobs
In the Dried Ghasts can be found wallowing in the warmth of the hellscape, but bring them overground and smother them in water and they'll soon be as happy as, well, a Happy Ghast!
New Minecraft mobs
New mobs are added to Minecraft all the time, with some arriving with new annual content updates and others voted in by fans during the Minecraft Live mob votes. Following Minecraft 1.21.5, the mobs list is now longer than ever.
Mob variants
Okay, technically not new mobs, but we thought it was worth giving a shout out to new ive mob variants for cow, pigs, and chickens. Adding some regional flair as you journey from biome to biome, fluffy pigs, horned cows, and spotted chickens can all now be found on your adventures. The classic colors are now 'temperate' mobs, and are found in temperate biomes. Meanwhile, new cold and warm variants can be found in their own respective biomes, similar to frogs before them.
The Creaking
1.21.4 newcomer Creaking is a spooky treant that is actually invincible. Well, sort of. Spawned predominantly from a creaking heart hidden within a pale oak in the pale garden, finding and destroying the heart is the only way you can take one of these hostile ent-ities down. The good news is that hitting a Creaking creates a trail of orange particles between it and the heart, so it doesn't take long to track its source.
ive Minecraft mobs
Minecraft ive mobs will not attack you and flee when attacked. They can breed, so you'll see baby animals in the same area. Most ive mobs, such as horses in Minecraft, can be tamed if they're not already. Then there are the inhabitants of Minecraft villages, like traders and villagers. Other farmyard friends can provide resources, including wool from sheep or milk from cows.
