Mobs (short for "mobiles") are the animals and other creatures that inhabit the map. Hostile mobs attack the player while passive mobs do not. Neutral mobs attack when provoked.

The Overworld contains many passive mobs that may be killed for food or bred with one another; these include:


 * Pigs: drop porkchops upon death and can be ridden using a saddle.
 * Cows: drop beef upon death and can be milked using a bucket.
 * Sheep: drop mutton and 1 wool upon death and can be shorn to produce 1–3 wool.
 * Chickens: drop chicken meat and feathers upon death and lay eggs.
 * Horses: drop leather upon death and can be ridden using a saddle, traveling much faster than pigs.
 * Bats: ambient mobs that fly around caves.

Common hostile mobs found throughout the Overworld include:


 * Zombies: attack by melee damage.
 * Skeletons: have a bow and infinitely many arrows.
 * Spiders: jump large distances and can climb walls.
 * Witches: use potions.
 * Creepers: explode when near the player.
 * Endermen: tall, black creatures with purple eyes and turn aggressive when the player looks at them.

The Overworld also contains some rarer mobs that spawn only on occasion or in specific biomes:


 * Spider jockeys: a skeleton riding a spider.
 * Chicken jockeys: a baby zombie riding a chicken.
 * Slimes: spawn deep within the map and in swamplands.
 * Villagers: inhabit villages and can trade with the player.
 * Parrots: can imitate the sounds of nearby mobs.
 * Wolves: can be tamed by the player and attack enemy mobs if the player engages or is attacked by them
 * Mooshrooms: mushroom variants of cows that spawn in mushroom field biomes.
 * Vindicator: spawn in woodland mansions
 * Pillager: spawn in pillager outposts
 * Evoker: spawn in Woodland Mansions

Some mobs can be found exclusively in the Nether, including:


 * Ghasts: flying mobs that shoot exploding fireballs at the player.
 * Zombified piglins: wield golden swords and attack in hordes if provoked.
 * Wither skeletons: tall, black variants of regular skeletons that wield stone swords and drop coal and, occasionally, wither skeleton skulls that can be used to summon the wither.
 * Blazes: shoot fireballs at players and hover above the ground.
 * Magma cubes: similar to Overworld slimes.

The End contains the ender dragon, which is the main boss mob in Minecraft and allows the player to exit back to the Overworld when it dies.

Withers are the second boss mob in Minecraft, and are created by the player by placing wither skeleton skulls on top of soul sand in a specific pattern. When spawned, they shoot wither skulls at nearby non-undead mobs.

The world of Minecraft takes place within a three-dimensional grid of cubes, with each cube being occupied by a certain type of block (not all of which are necessarily cubic). There are different types of blocks; natural blocks such as grass, stone, and ores are randomly generated within the world. There are also blocks that players can craft, such as a crafting table and a furnace. Resources can be extracted from blocks by hand or by using tools. Some of these resources are simply blocks in the player's inventory that can be placed elsewhere, while others are used as material to create other blocks or tools. Others yield no practical use whatsoever. Some blocks cannot be broken through normal survival means, e.g. bedrock, end portal frames, command blocks, and barriers.
