Looking for an up-to-date Minecraft mobs list for 1.21? There's an astonishing number of mobs in Minecraft as of 1.21, and it's best to know as much about them as possible to make sure you can deal with each one appropriately.

Minecraft has come a long way since it first began life in the early 2010s. Now there's a grand total of 87 mobs in Minecraft, and each mob looks and behaves very differently from the rest. Below I've listed every single mob in the game, categorised based on whether they are passive, neutral, or hostile towards the player.

Minecraft boss mobs

There are currently three "boss mobs" in Minecraft. These are powerful mobs which have their own health bars, and they are currently the most dangerous enemies in Minecraft - except, of course, the players you'll encounter on PvP Minecraft servers.
