Passive Mobs Of Minecraftia

Mobs Of this Blocky World

 By: Hannah .V.

The Very first mob you will probably encounter will be the non-hostile mobs, or the passive animals. These are basically animals you would normally find on a farm; pigs,cows,chicken, and sheep. 

• Sheep: In the newest update, (1.8), sheep not only drop 1 piece of wool when killed, but they also drop lamb chops. They restore 3 full hunger bar pieces. They are the only animals that drop wool. You need 3 pieces of wool for a bed, which you use to skip through the night and dodge all the hostile mobs. Sheep are found usually in plains biomes and are also near forests. Usually spawn in groups of 1-5 or more.
• Cows drop raw meat and leather. When cooked, they restore four hunger pieces and it changes to Cooked steak. Cows and sheep can be both breed using wheat, obtained by farming seeds and breaking them when they are fully grown. They will follow you if you hold wheat (both cows and sheep.) They spawn 1-8, usually spread out by the time you find them unless near spawn.
• Pigs are, in my opinion, the cutest mob in minecraft (besides ocelots.)  They will follow you if you hold carrots of potatoes. you can breed them with either carrots or potatoes. If killed, they will drop 0-3 pieces of raw pork chop. When cooked, this will fill 4 hunger bars. You can name all mobs with name tags by changing name of the name tag in an anvil. Name Tags can only be used once. Usually spawn in groups of 3 or more.
• Chickens usually spawn in groups of 3 or more. They drop raw chicken and feathers when killed. When you cook the chicken, it will heal 3 hunger bars. Also, never et raw food or you will have a chance of food poisoning, this applies for all raw food and rotten flesh. Chickens will follow you if you hold seeds and also can be breed with seeds.
• Ocelots are only found in the rare jungle biome. When you get to close, they run away from you. If you hold raw fish, they will slowly creep closer if you do not touch the mouse. Eventually it will stop and you must slowly move your cursor with the raw fish in your hand and right click the ocelot. Eventually red hearts will appear and the ocelot gets a new skin. There are 3 skins: tabby, tuxedo, and Siamese. Both tamed and untamed ocelots scare creepers, and the creepers will run from them. They will not attack anything, even when tamed. To make it sit, you right click it.
• Wolves are normally found in the taiga biome, or snow biome, but can also be found in forest biomes. They will attack you (they are neutral) if you punch one. All of them will attack you and their eyes will turn red. You can tame them with bones, obtained by killing skeletons. They will not have a different skin. They automatically attack sheep in the wild. They will attack most hostile mobs, but especially not the creeper.
• Squids are found in most bodies of water, including ponds and rivers. Some even spawn in 1 block of water! This is very rare. When killed, they drop 1-3 ink sacks, used to craft a book and quill.
• Bats spawn in caves and other dark spaces. Bats do not drop anything, so i think they added bats in for future references.
  
• Iron Golems spawn in villages with 20 or more doors. Iron golems can be made by making a small plus sign with 4 blocks of iron and completing the mini-plus sign by placing a pumpkin on top. (View the right photo.) Iron golems will become hostile only when you kill a villager. They have 100 health and will drop around 1-10 iron. They spawn in with their only purpose is to protect villagers.
  
• Villagers are peaceful CPUs that offer trades using emeralds you have  or offering trades that give you emeralds (in my experience, at least.) They have farms in the villages that they live in which may contain wheat, potatoes, and carrots. This is another way to get carrots and potatoes besides killing zombies which have a rare chance to drop them. Villages, where these villagers are found, are most common in the plains biome and also include different variations in the buildings and one building contains a chest and has ores, armor, and regular materials. The different villager types (from left to right on the photo) are: farmer, priest, butcher, librarian, and blacksmith. When killed, drop nothing.
• Mooshrooms only spawn on the mushroom island/ biome and the blocks that make up
  
  the ground are mycelium, and they only spawn on that one type of block. The mushroom biome is very rare and if you right-click mooshrooms with a bowl, you get mushroom stew. (To the right is a photo of the mooshroom island.)
