Minecraft:Monster (entity)

Template:Outdated Template:Infobox entity The monster entity was an unused Minecraft:hostile mob that looks identical to the Minecraft:player with the default "Minecraft:Steve" Minecraft:skin.

Spawning

Monsters were only spawnable using mods and map editors, but otherwise were not available in vanilla Minecraft.

Monsters despawned when the world was set to Minecraft:Peaceful difficulty.Template:Needs testing

Drops

Monsters did not Minecraft:drop anything when they Minecraft:died.

Behavior

Monsters shared the same AI as Minecraft:zombies and would walk towards and attack the Minecraft:player, dealing the same damage to the player as the player does with their fist. Strangely, they did not use the punching Minecraft:animation that a normal player would use; they would only run into the player like a Minecraft:zombie would. Monsters would retaliate against Minecraft:skeletons when hit by their Minecraft:arrowsTemplate:Needs testing.

Trivia

• Monsters, when spawned, may head to the left for half a second, before turning around to attack the player. Minecraft:Zombified piglins may also do this on occasion.Template:Verify
• If a monster spawner with monster is placed in Minecraft:Java Edition Beta 1.8 or later, it appears blank and no monsters spawn.
• Coding for monsters was still present until Minecraft:Java Edition 1.8. Only the monster model was removed in Beta 1.8.
• It is unknown if monsters existed in Minecraft:Xbox 360 Edition (in versions before TU5, that were based on Java Edition Beta 1.7.3 and earlier).
• Monsters use the old Minecraft:player model, so they are actually slightly taller than the player.
• Despite being taller than the player, monsters looked up at the player when chasing them. This is because their actual hit-box and eye height were shorter than the player's hit-box and eye height.
• Notch also used the name "monster" for the green moboids in his unfinished game: Minecraft:Legend of the Chambered.
