Hostile Mobs

Pursues and attacks players and villagers. Burns in sunlight. Can break wooden doors on Hard difficulty. Baby zombies are faster and do not burn.

Ranged attacker with a bow. Burns in sunlight (seeks shade or water). Strafes while shooting. Better accuracy at closer range.

Silently approaches players and detonates after a 1.5s fuse. Explosion destroys blocks. Charged creepers (struck by lightning) have double explosion power.

Attacks by throwing harmful splash potions (Poison, Slowness, Weakness, Harming). Drinks defensive potions (Healing, Fire Resistance, Water Breathing, Speed).

Bounces toward players. Splits into 2-4 smaller slimes when killed (large > medium > small). Only small slimes drop slimeballs.

Like slimes but immune to fire and lava. Bounces higher and splits when killed. Found in large numbers in Basalt Deltas.

Flies in circles above the player, then swoops down to attack. Burns in sunlight. Targets only players who haven't slept.

Swims and attacks players in water. Some spawn with tridents (ranged attack). Burns in sunlight on land but safe underwater.

Zombie variant that does not burn in sunlight. Inflicts Hunger effect on attack. Converts to zombie if submerged in water.

Skeleton variant that shoots Arrows of Slowness. Does not burn in sunlight (unlike regular skeletons).

Flies and shoots triple fireballs. Sets target on fire. Immune to fire and lava. Damaged by snowballs (3 damage each).

Large flying mob that shoots explosive fireballs from long range. Fireballs can be deflected back by attacking them.

Melee attacker with stone sword that inflicts Wither effect for 10 seconds. Immune to fire. 3 blocks tall, can only spawn in areas with 3+ blocks of headroom.

Always hostile to players regardless of gold armor. Extremely strong. Does not barter or retreat. Guards Bastion Remnants.

Aggressive beast that flings players into the air. Fears Warped Fungus and Nether Portals. The only breedable hostile mob.

Undead, zombified Hoglin that attacks almost all mobs and players. Cannot be bred or fed. Extremely aggressive.

Charges at players, dealing knockback. Destroys crop blocks and leaves on contact. Roars after being stunned by a shield.

Tiny flying mob that phases through blocks. Attacks players and villagers. Takes damage over time after 30-119 seconds (starts flickering).

Summons Vexes and casts fang attacks (line of snapping jaws from the ground). Transforms blue sheep into red sheep.

Aggressive melee attacker wielding an iron axe. Very fast and deals high damage. Named 'Johnny' vindicators attack all mobs.

Ranged attacker using a crossbow. Patrol captains carry Ominous Banners. Killing a captain gives Bad Omen, triggering a raid if you enter a village.

Shoots laser beams that require charge-up time. Deals thorn damage to attackers. Inflicts Mining Fatigue via Elder Guardians nearby.

Small and fast. When attacked, calls nearby silverfish from Infested Stone blocks. Swarms can be overwhelming.

Tiny hostile mob that attacks players. Endermen attack endermites on sight, making them useful for Enderman farms.

Hides in shell-like block, opens to shoot homing projectiles that inflict Levitation for 10 seconds. High armor when closed.

Wind-themed mob that shoots wind charge projectiles. Projectiles deal knockback and interact with certain blocks (buttons, levers, trapdoors). Jumps high to dodge.

Skeleton variant covered in moss and mushrooms. Shoots Arrows of Poison. Burns in sunlight like regular skeletons.

Chases players and villagers, burns in daylight and keeps the profession it had as a villager. A splash potion of Weakness plus a golden apple starts the cure, and the villager that walks out of it trades cheaper.

Swims after anything it can reach and charges with a dash it winds up first, so the sound gives you a moment to move. It counts as undead, which is what makes Smite the weapon of choice for it.

Keeps its distance and shoots, the way a skeleton does, and the arrows it fires can carry an effect of their own. It belongs to the skeleton family, so it burns in daylight without a helmet.

Hops after you and splits into two smaller cubes when it dies, and a cube that has already been split does not split again. Fire is the part to watch, because a lit cube goes off instead of splitting.

Freezes the moment you look at it and moves only while you look away, and hitting it does nothing: the damage lands on the creaking heart that produced it. Break that heart and the creaking falls apart.
