Minecraft mobs are the living entities of Minecraft - short for mobile, these can be cute, and sometimes see aggressive creatures roaming the numerous biomes in the blocky world. They can respond to you, other players and other mobs.
Minecraft mobs are prone to the same physics and environmental changes that affect players, such as getting caught in flames or drowning. They can be attacked with weapons or killed, and hostile mobs drop rarer items and resources.
In Creative mode, Minecraft mobs won't attack you. However, Survival and Hardcore modes allow for three different behavioural categories that are neutral, hostile, and passive. Minecraft servers Utility mobs such as the iron golem and snowgolem can be created to help you against hostile mobs. Trusting mobs can't be tamed, but have a special behaviour when interacted with and include dolphins, ocelot, and even the adorable Minecraft fox. Here's an overview of all the monsters and mobs that can be found wandering the vast Minecraft landscape.
