Template:For

File:Animals preview.png
Some of the many animals from Template:MC.

Animal refers to a category of Minecraft:mobs that are mainly based on real-life animals. Many other mobs and even some Minecraft:blocks are also based on real life animals, but are not treated as such in Minecraft. Most of these mobs are also called animals in many Minecraft:advancements.

Animals are usually either passive (fleeing) or neutral (fighting), with the only exceptions being the undead mounts while ridden, Minecraft:hoglins and Minecraft:killer bunniesTemplate:Only, which are hostile mobs.

Properties

Mobs mentioned on this page share the following properties:

Several animal mobs can be leashed although this doesn't affect their classification. Animal mobs can also spawn in the Minecraft:Peaceful difficulty, with the exception of the undead mounts.

List of animals

Template:Columns-list

Some mobs like Minecraft:allays,Template:Note Minecraft:copper golems, Minecraft:iron golems, and Minecraft:snow golems are internally referred to as animals,<ref>Template:Cd</ref> although this does not affect the entity format, as these Minecraft:mobs do not share all of the same traits as actual in-game animals.

Related mobs

These mobs are based on real life animals, but are not treated as such in the game code - rather as Template:Cd or Template:Cd only.

Despite being classified as only Minecraft:monsters in-game, Minecraft:guardians and Minecraft:elder guardians were referred to as "animals of the deep" in a Minecraft video about them.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref>

Related blocks

These blocks are based on real life/fantasy animals, but are not treated as such in the game code, due to being blocks.

Unimplemented

These community vote options are based on animals, but have not been added to the game.
