Passive mobs
Most passive mobs won't intentionally attack players. Find farm animals, fish and useful companions such as allays, sniffers, copper golems and Happy Ghasts. Some require specific conditions to obtain or create, rather than generating naturally.
Neutral or situational mobs
Wolves, bees, foxes, iron golems, spiders and piglins may attack when provoked or when particular conditions are met. Some aquatic mobs have distinctive behavior. Treat classification as an exploration aid rather than a combat guarantee.
Hostile mobs and bosses
Zombies, skeletons, creepers and witches are common hazards. The Nether includes blazes, hoglins and wither skeletons; the End includes shulkers. The Warden is a formidable deep-dark encounter. Ender Dragon and Wither are the two bosses.
