With every major update to Minecraft comes new mobs. Some of them serve a purpose to Survival Mode players, while others are just there to terrify or attack them. Whatever their purpose, we have the complete list here for you!
All Hostile and Non-Hostile Minecraft Mobs
Because there are so many different mobs, we've split them into their most defining categories. Along with their names, we have provided some additional information that may be helpful.
