[[File:All Mobs.png|thumb|Every mob {{in|JE}} as of [[Java Edition 26.2|26.2]].{{upcoming}}]]

A '''mob''' (short for '''mobile''', '''mobile entity''', or '''mobile object''')<ref>{{w|Mob (video games)}} or a single entity in a group when referring to ''Minecraft''.</ref> is an AI-driven game entity. All mobs can be attacked or hurt (from falling, attacked by a player or another mob, falling into the void, hit by an [[Minecraft:arrow]], etc. with the exception of natural creakings), and have some form of voluntary movement. Different types of mobs often have unique AI and loot.

== Spawning ==
{{main|Mob spawning#Spawn cycle|title1=Spawn cycle}}
[[File:Mob Habitat Collage.png|alt=Most monsters are found in dark areas such as caves, while 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, depending on the light level, biome, and surface material.]]
[[File:OverWorld Monsters.png|thumb|right|Some of the many monsters that can spawn in the [[Overworld]]. From left to right: [[Minecraft:zombie]], spider, [[Minecraft:enderman]], creeper, skeleton, drowned, [[Minecraft:witch]], slime, and zombie horse.]]

Mobs spawn in various ways. Most mobs spawn naturally, depending on the light level, [[Minecraft:biome]], and their surroundings. For example, most animals are found in bright areas on the surface, while hostile monsters are commonly found in the dark (whether it's a [[Minecraft:cave]], monster room, mansion, or at night). Animals usually spawn upon chunk generation, while hostile monsters spawn and despawn in a certain radius around the player.

Some mobs, including passive and neutral animals, and even hoglins, have the ability to be bred by the player, creating offspring. [[Minecraft:Villager]]s cannot be directly bred by the player, instead randomly breeding depending on the time of day and the number of [[Minecraft:bed]]s, which allows players to manipulate their likelihood of breeding.

Most mobs never spawn on transparent blocks, in water (except [[Minecraft:aquatic]] creatures), in lava (except for striders), on [[Minecraft:bedrock]], or on blocks [[Minecraft:Solid block#Height|less than a full block tall]] (such as [[Minecraft:slab]]s placed on the bottom half). The exception is monster spawners, from which monsters can spawn naturally on any block including [[Minecraft:air]].

Some mobs (like the snow golem and the [[Minecraft:wither]]) require that the player "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 four end crystals. A rare occurrence of spawning are the [[Minecraft:jockey]] mobs, which is a mob riding another mob.

Players can also spawn mobs easily by using spawn eggs in Creative mode or the {{cmd|summon}} command.

=== Despawning ===
{{main|Mob spawning#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 monsters do. {{IN|Bedrock}}, almost all mobs despawn. Mobs can be prevented from despawning if they are named with a name tag, and in ''Java Edition''{{verify}}, also in a [[Minecraft:boat]].

== Behavior ==
{{Redirect|Pathfinding|detailed mechanic of pathfinding|Mob AI#Pathfinding}}
{{See also|Mob infighting|Mob fleeing}}
[[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 hurt by the same things that harm the player (catching on fire, falling, drowning, attacks from weapons, the /kill command, etc.). Some mobs may be resistant or immune to certain hazards, such as some Nether mobs, which are immune to fire. All [[Minecraft:aquatic]] mobs except dolphins are immune to drowning. Mobs can ride [[Minecraft:minecart]]s and other mobs can climb up [[Minecraft:ladder]]s. When mobs are killed, they turn to smoke particles 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 within 32 blocks and usually avoid walking off blocks high enough to cause falling damage. Many mobs have an advanced path-finding system that allows them to navigate through obstacles to get to a desired object or destination. Passive mobs flee in random directions after being hurt, while hostile mobs face and chase/attack the player as soon as the player comes close. Neutral mobs remain neutral until a player or mob provokes it (usually by attacking), at which point the neutral mob becomes hostile toward and attacks the entity that hit it. Most mobs are aware of players within (a Euclidian distance) 16 [[Minecraft:block]]s of them, but some can see farther. Conversely, most mobs can be heard by players up to 16 blocks away. Mobs are harmless to players in Creative mode.

Most mobs cannot see through most solid blocks, including semi-transparent blocks such as [[Minecraft:ice]], [[Minecraft:glass]], tall grass, or glass panes. {{IN|java}}, all mobs (except for [[Minecraft:warden]]s<ref>{{bug|MC-249642||Wardens can't pass over rails|Fixed}}</ref>) try to avoid walking over [[Minecraft:rail]]s unless pushed onto the rails by other mobs.

Using specific name tags on mobs can result in unusual behavior or rendering. See {{Section link|Name Tag|Easter eggs}} for details.

== 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 that do not attack players, even when provoked or attacked, though some of them may attack other mobs. Most of them are [[Minecraft:animal]]s and can be bred or tamed.

=== Neutral mobs ===
Neutral mobs are sometimes passive and sometimes hostile toward the player. These mobs usually require provocation from the player in one way or another to attack or become hostile, while some can be naturally hostile and have a way to be pacified.

=== Hostile mobs ===

Monsters in general, whether {{tooltip|passive|Camel husk, skeleton horse, and zombie horse}} or {{tooltip|neutral|Cave spider, drowned, enderman, piglin, spider, zombie nautilus, and zombified piglin}}, are involved in mechanics pertaining to hostile mobs regardless of behavior.

==== Boss mobs ====
{{About|the boss mobs in {{MC}}|other uses|Boss (disambiguation)|section=1}}
Boss mobs are special hostile mobs that are tougher and more dangerous than other mobs. They do not spawn randomly and are confronted intentionally. All boss mobs have a bossbar featuring their name and health. Boss mobs provide unique challenges and equivalent rewards, such as XP or useful items.

== Issues ==
:''For issues unique to specific mobs, see that mob's issues section.''
{{issue list|Mob}}

== Trivia ==
* {{IN|je}}, the rarest mob is a zombie villager chicken jockey wearing full enchanted diamond armor and holding an enchanted iron sword in its left hand. 
* There are many blocks in the game that do not take up a full block, such as trapdoors, and mobs actually see many of these as full blocks.
** Mobs mistake some blocks for [[Minecraft:air]], such as [[Minecraft:carpet]]s, [[Minecraft:snow]], and [[Minecraft:string]].
* Despite the term mob being derived from mobile entity, supplementary material consistently uses it within the ''Minecraft'' universe. Characters from {{MCSM}} begin calling monsters mobs starting in ''Order Up'', whereas {{MCL|Farnum}} refers to himself as a “mobologist.”
* {{IN|bedrock}}, due to the lack of a "living entity" class of entities, armor stands, [[Minecraft:camera]]s, and even players are internally represented as "mobs". This has no direct effect on how these entities behave. However, {{in|java}}, the advancements and statistics classify them as mobs.
