This is a Minecraft mob guide for people to read.

It shows all mobs and will be updated for future mobs.

MOBS:
Mobs are characters/entities in MineCraft that move around like yourself.

When you kill a mob they drop orbs called exp which adds to your exp bar but they arnt a real item.

Here's a guide to them:

Hostiles:
Hostile mobs try to kill you no matter what.
Here's a list of them:

Creeper:
Creepers are mobs in the game that have four legs,no arms,and they are green.

They are walking bombs so they explode so watch out for them.
They drop gunpowder and a strategy to defeat them is by using a sword and keep hitting them until they die but keep your distance.They also drop a music disc (Either cat or 13) when killed by a skeleton.(Sometimes.)

Skeleton:
These mobs are archers and they will shoot any player that gets near them or anything that attacks them *Another mob.*
You'll have to dodge their arrows and hit them or snipe them from a far.
They are bony.They drop bones,arrows,and rarely a bow on death.

Zombie:
These mobs are of the undead and they will hurt you only if it touches you.
These are one of the easiest to fight so they shouldn't be much of a problem unless you're really new to the game.
They used to drop feathers but now they don't.They drop rotten flesh and rarely an iron ingot,iron helmet,iron shovel,and iron sword.

Ender Dragon:
This mob is a boss mob that spawns in the end.
It is the hardest to fight and its health regens if an end crystal's beam is hitting it.
The strategy is to have a lot of arrows and a bow and a diamond sword to hurt this mob and destroy all of the crystals.They drop nothing but 100s of exp on death.

Ghast:
This is one of the mobs that spawn in the nether and is one of the largest mobs.
It shoots fireballs that explode at you.It flies around too.

They drop ghast tears and gunpowder on death.

Magma Cube:
The magma cube is another mob that spawns in the nether.It hops around trying to get to you.
