Some of the many common monsters from Template:MC

The term monster refers to a category of Minecraft:mobs that are mostly hostile to the Minecraft:player.

Common properties

Mobs mentioned on this page share the following properties to be classified as monsters:

They are either classified as enemies in the Minecraft:entity format or in spawning mechanics, such as the Minecraft:mob cap.

Although this doesn't affect their classification, most of them share the following properties, but with exceptions:

They despawn or don't spawn naturally in Minecraft:Peaceful difficulty.
Prevent the player from sleeping.
Drop more than 1-3 Minecraft:experience orbs.
Use the "Hostile Mobs" sound category.
Trigger the "Monster Hunter" Minecraft:advancement and "Monsters Hunted" challenge.Template:Only
Trigger the "Monster Hunter" Minecraft:achievement.Template:Only
Minecraft:Iron golems and Minecraft:snow golems will target them.
Minecraft:Parrots will imitate their sounds.
An active Minecraft:conduit will damage them.
Worried Minecraft:pandas Template:Only and Minecraft:rabbits will avoid them.
They can’t be Minecraft:leashed.
They are part of the Template:Cd Minecraft:family Template:Only.

Trivia

The Minecraft:warden is the only fully hostile monster (as Minecraft:skeleton horses are passive when not mounted) that spawns naturally that does not count towards the Monster Hunter advancement or Monsters Hunted challenge.
- The reason for this is because the warden is not intended to be slain, and is instead meant to be evaded.
Minecraft:Polar bears were once classified as monsters valid for advancements. This property was removed in snapshot Minecraft:19w14a.
Minecraft:Striders are internally referred to as monsters,<ref>Template:Cd</ref> however this does not affect gameplay, as the strider does not share the same traits as actual in-game monsters, being considered an Minecraft:animal instead.
