Minecraft:Animal

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 bunnies,Template:Only which are hostile mobs.

Properties

Mobs mentioned on this page share the following properties:

• They are classified as Template:Cd or Template:Cd in the game code.
• Most of them can Minecraft:breed.
• Most follow the player if they are holding the item used to breed them.
• Most of them trigger the "The Parrots and The Bats" and "Two By Two" Minecraft:advancement when bred.

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

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.

History

Trivia

• In its Mob Menagerie, Minecraft:phantoms real-world parallel was stated to be Minecraft:bats, as well as mentions of the extinct pterosaur, Template:Wikipedia.<ref>Mob Menagerie: Phantom</ref>
