File:Animals preview.png

Some of the many animals from Minecraft.

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 advancements.

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