Villagers

These intelligent NPCs inhabit villages and engage in trade. Their diverse professions (farmers, librarians, blacksmiths, etc.) offer unique items. Protecting them is vital for a thriving village economy.
Animals (Cows, Sheep, Pigs, Chickens, etc.)

These farm animals provide valuable resources: meat, wool, and leather. Breeding them ensures a sustainable supply of materials.
Neutral Mobs
Enderman

These tall, teleporting creatures are generally passive unless provoked. Direct eye contact triggers hostility, but they drop valuable ender pearls upon defeat, essential for finding strongholds.
Wolves

Tamable with bones, wolves become loyal companions, attacking any hostile entity that threatens the player. They're invaluable allies in combat.
Piglins

Inhabiting the Nether, piglins are aggressive unless the player wears gold armor. They engage in bartering, exchanging gold ingots for Nether items.
Iron Golems

These powerful guardians protect villages from hostile mobs. They attack enemies on sight and can be built by players for extra defense.
Hostile Mobs
Zombies

Common undead attackers, zombies can break doors on hard difficulty and turn villagers into zombie villagers.
Skeletons
Image: ensigame.com
Ranged attackers using bows, skeletons keep their distance. They drop bones and arrows.
Creepers

Feared for their silent approach and explosive attacks, creepers inflict significant damage. Shields and strategic positioning can help mitigate their threat.
Spiders & Cave Spiders

Agile climbers that attack at night, spiders are more dangerous in confined spaces. Cave spiders are venomous.
Phantoms

These flying mobs spawn after three or more in-game days without sleep. They attack from above, making nighttime exploration riskier. Defeating them provides phantom membranes, useful for elytra repair or brewing slow-falling potions.
Evokers

Spell-casting villagers found in Woodland Mansions and during raids, evokers summon vex attacks. Defeating them yields the Totem of Undying.
Blazes

Found in Nether Fortresses, blazes shoot fireballs. They are a source of Blaze Rods, essential for brewing and crafting Eyes of Ender.
