When players first enter the world of Minecraft, they will be greeted by a mob. Mobs are A.I. entities that roam around in all three realms. There are all kinds of mobs present that players can interact with, fight, and even befriend. In 2022, several new mobs were added to the game to improve the game even more.
There are three major types of mobs in Minecraft: Passive, Neutral and Hostile. As the name suggests, passive mobs will not attack the player and will run or defend themselves somehow. Neutral mobs will not attack or harm players as long as they do not harm the mobs. Finally, hostile mobs will always attack players and try to kill them as soon as possible.

Their hostility also varies. Some might leave the player if they evade, while others will kill the player at any cost. Some of them can even be tamed and kept as pets, though before taming, they are neutral. Here is the full list of neutral mobs in Minecraft as of August 2022:

Hostile mobs
Since Minecraft is a survival-based game, it wouldn't be challenging without some dangerous creatures trying to kill the players in several instances. Regarding hostile mobs, the game is known for some iconic creatures. These creatures only have one goal: to keep chasing and attacking players until they die.
Different mobs have different ways to harm players. Some use explosions, bows and arrows, while others use magical potions and items to harm players in unique ways.
