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 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.

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 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" advancement when bred.

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