All Hostile and Non-Hostile Minecraft Mobs

Because there are so many different mobs, we’ve split them into their most defining categories. Along with their names, we have provided some additional information that may be helpful. We know, we know: if only we’d fight them for you ;). The categories for all the mobs are shown in the following list.

Hostile Mobs

Hostile Mobs are inherently aggressive to the player. They will not spawn on Peaceful Mode.

A close-up of a few different types of Minecraft Mobs.

Passive Mobs

Passive Mobs do not attack the player under any circumstance. They may attempt to run away if they’re attacked.

Neutral Mobs

Neutral Mobs may be either passive or hostile, depending on the situation. Some of them become hostile when attacked and others become hostile if certain conditions are met.

Boss Mobs

Boss Mobs are always hostile, but only accessible by intentionally searching for or building them. These mobs are the only mobs with aboss barthat displays at the top of the screen.
