Mojang never stops adding new mobs to Minecraft, as these AI entities are an integral part of the game that enhances the environment and players' interaction with the world. The list of these entities keeps getting longer as Mojang releases new yearly updates. The fanbase is also most keen on new mobs and their features.
With the release of The Wild Update in June 2022, Mojang added four new mobs to Minecraft. This trend continues in the game as the developers have announced two more mobs for their next 1.20 update. Mojang will persist in adding more mobs to the game, and players new to the sandbox title will strive to learn all about them.
Lists of all passive, neutral, and hostile Minecraft mobs as of November 2022
As of November 2022, a total of 77 Minecraft mobs naturally spawn in a regular world. It is important to point this out since there are several unreleased and hidden mobs that can only be summoned by commands.

Furthermore, one mob is under experimental features and will only be available in future updates. The best way to segregate all these mobs is by their nature and availability.

Whereas Bedrock Edition can have them through the beta and preview versions.
Neutral mobs
Neutral mobs are tricky to understand since they can be passive and hostile towards players. Their hostility depends on the player's actions and behavior towards them.

Boss mobs
Though players will regularly fight several hostile mobs, two of them are the most powerful. Hence, they are called boss mobs since it is not easy to slay them. One of them is tied to the game's main quest line, while the player must summon the other.
Here is a small list of two boss mobs present in Minecraft as of yet:
- Ender Dragon
- Wither
Unused mobs
