Mobs (Monsters)

Minecraft has a lot of different Mobs in the world, some of them are friendly while others are monsters. These Mobs appear everywhere in the world, some during the day and the others at night. The friendly Mobs will not attack you at any time unless you try to attack them. The enemy monsters on the other hand will attack whenever you are near them. Below are all the Minecraft Mobs.

A few of the friendly Mobs are able to be tamed. These would currently be the Horses, Ocelots, and Wolfs. Monsters will not spawn at night 8 blocks around a Torch, so stacking Torches around your buildings will prevent them from spawning there. They will also not spawn on Glass, Wood, Stone, or Cobblestone Slabs.
