Minecraft is a revolutionary game that has been popular for over a decade. Its popularity is thanks to the features it presents in a survival setting. The exploratory aspects of the game have always kept it exciting and adventurous. While some are fictional, many have been inspired by real life, especially animals. These are primarily passive in the game, and a majority have their uses apart from being a source of food and delight.
Some of these have also been designed based on endangered species in the wild. Here is a list of real-life animals that can be found in Minecraft.
