Minecraft: Every Peaceful Overworld Mob

There are dozens of different mobs--animals and creatures--in Minecraft, and it can be hard to keep them straight. Which ones make good pets (don't feed the polar bears), and which ones are good for food? Which ones have special abilities?

The following list features every peaceful mob that you'll find in the Minecraft overworld. That means this list won't feature Zombies, Endermen, Hoglins, or anything else you might find in The End or the Nether, as well as anything that defaults to hostile in the Minecraft overworld. Each of these mobs has its own wiki pages in the Minecraft wiki if you want to really dig in and get into every little detail, but we tried to incorporate as many details as we could into a small space so that you can get to thriving instead of surviving in Minecraft without having to constantly pause or tab out of your game to check a wiki.

The following list notes whether each mob is breedable, whether you can tame it, its overall demeanor, its hit points, any items it might drop, and finally, any major farm types they might help support. A brief description of each mob will give you an idea of what that mob is like aside from those primary statistics so that you can approach each one with confidence, and then run away when you accidentally hit a bee hive without putting a campfire under it first.

Allay

• Breedable: No
• Tamable: Yes
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage: 20 (10 Hearts)
• What Items do they drop? Any item they are currently carrying
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Allays are the newest passive mob to join Minecraft at the time of this writing. They can be found at pillager outposts and in the woodland mansion, generating in cages in both cases. Allays can replicate on their own when given an Amethyst shard. The player can give an allay any item, and the allay will seek out dropped instances of that same item, bringing them back to the player. They follow from a much longer distance, following up to 64 blocks away from the player, than other mobs, and will seek out items as many as 32 blocks from the player. It can get distracted by activated note blocks or jukeboxes, the latter of which will cause the Allay to dance. You as the player cannot hurt an Allay, and if another mob hurts one, it will start zipping around frantically in a panic.

Axolotl

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile)
• Hit Points / Damage: 14 (7 hearts) / 2 (1 heart)
• What Items do they drop? None
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Axolotls are passive aquatic creatures that will attack other hostile mobs such as drowners, while avoiding attacking the players and most passive mobs like turtles and dolphins. They can be bred using buckets of tropical fish, with offspring generally taking on the color of one of their parents--there's a 1/1200 chance that they'll come out as a rare blue Axolotl. You can rename an Axolotl by picking it up in a bucket and placing the bucket on an anvil, and then dumping the Axolotl again. The Axolotl will die if it gets too far away from water.

Bat

• Breedable: No
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor: Ambient
• What Items do they drop? None
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Bats are purely ambient mobs. They can not be captured, bred, or attacked.

Bee

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Neutral
• What Items do they drop? None
• What kind of farms do they support? Honey

Bees are mostly-passive mobs that will attack a player if provoked, but generally are peaceful. Attacking a bee or hive will anger nearby bees, causing the to poison a player. Otherwise, bees will pollinate a variety of crops, including wheat, potatoes, carrots, beetroots, melon stems, pumpkin stems, berry bushes, and cave vines. Bees prefer to go back to hives, with up to three bees to a hive. These are one of the more mechanically complex peaceful mobs in Minecraft.

To take a hive from its origin point, you'll need a tool enchanted with Silk Touch. If you don't have Silk Touch, you'll simply destroy the hive. Additionally, attacking a hive will cause any bees inside or out to go into attack mode for a while, and any that successfully sting you will die in the process. To prevent this, you can drop a campfire under the hive before you start, which acts like Minecraft's version of a Bee Smoker. Bees are good for not just pollination, but also for, of course, the creation of honey and wax. Honey is a food source as well as a cure for poison, and blocks of honey can be used to both decrease fall damage and as part of Redstone contraptions. Wax, meanwhile, can be used both to make candles and for coating copper blocks to retain their current level of oxidization.

Cat

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: Yes
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage 10 (5 hearts) / 3 (1.5 hearts)
• What Items do they drop? String. Don't kill cats, you weirdo.
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Cats are one of the primary pet creatures in Minecraft. They spawn naturally in villages and alongside Witch Huts. Perhaps the best-known ability of cats is the ability to scare off Creepers and Phantoms and will even hiss at Phantoms pursuing the player.

You can tame a cat by holding a raw Cod or Salmon fish (just another reason to get fishing in Minecraft!) Additionally, if you sleep with a cat nearby, it will come sleep next to you and may even drop a gift when you wake up. Fish can also be used to breed two cats. Cats come in a variety of colors, though breeding during a full moon will give you a chance to spawn a black cat with orange eyes. The cats that spawn alongside Witch Huts are also black cats. Other patterns include gray, Calico, Jellie, Persian, Ragdoll, Red, Siamese, Tabby, Tuxedo, and White. These cats all behave the same regardless of coloring and are separate from Ocelots.

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage 4 (2 hearts) / 0 (0 hearts)
• What Items do they drop? Raw chicken, feathers, eggs
• What kind of farms do they support? Chicken, eggs, and feathers can all be farmed

Chickens are one of the most ubiquitous passive mobs in Minecraft, and also the only ones that can breed without the use of a separate item, as they lay eggs at random.. One in eight of those eggs will spawn a chick (or, very rarely, multiple chicks) when thrown. You can also feed them seeds from wheat, beetroot, melon, or pumpkins to get them to spawn on purpose. Simply holding the seeds in your hand near chickens will cause them to follow you, making them relatively easy to fence in for farming purposes. They'll spawn on their own with just a few grass blocks, light level 7, and only two squares of free space above them. That means they can spawn just about anywhere you want them to, though note that they won't spawn on in places like the desert, snowy plains, snowy slopes, ice spikes, etc.

They're a relatively simple mob without many nuances; they don't do any damage, and the animals that you think would attack them--ocelots, foxes, and untamed cats. They drop the things you'd expect them to drop. The resulting items, when farmed, are useful in crafting; feathers are used to make arrows, books with quills, and fireworks. Eggs are crucial for making cake and pumpkin pie. Also, you can throw eggs at your friends, and it won't damage them… unless you knock them into lava.

Cow

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage 10 (5 hearts) / 0 (0 hearts)
• What Items do they drop? Beef and leather; Cows can be milked as well
• What kind of farms do they support? Beef and leather can both be farmed

Cows, like chickens, are an incredibly common but useful mob. They'll spawn in any grassy biome with light level 9 or higher and at least two blocks of space above, often spawning in herds of two or three. They'll drop leather and beef when killed, and leather can be used for a variety of purposes, including armor, item frames, and books, making them a useful mob to keep in pens for farming. Giving wheat to a pair of two cows will cause them to spawn a calf. Like chickens, they will follow you as long as you stay relatively close and hold the wheat stalks in your primary hand.

Dolphin

• Breedable: No
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Neutral
• Hit Points / Damage 10 (5 hearts) / 3 (1.5 hearts)
• What Items do they drop? Raw Cod
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Dolphins are one of Minecraft's "wildlife" mobs, something players can encounter in the ocean. They swim in pods of 3-5 dolphins and can be found in all non-cold/frozen ocean biomes. They don't interact with players much, though swimming near one will give you a temporary speed boost. Dolphins will play with dropped items, though it seems that in certain cases they can actually drown while pursuing one of these, as dolphins need to come up for air occasionally to survive. If a player or another mob attacks a dolphin, the whole pod of dolphins will pursue the attacker as a group, attacking all at once. You can feed dolphins raw cod or salmon, as well, which improves their "trust" of the player and will cause them to swim toward the nearest shipwreck or ocean ruins.

Donkey

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: Yes
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage 15 (7.5 hearts) to 30 (15 hearts)
• What Items do they drop? Leather
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Donkeys in Minecraft are a lot like those in real life. They're horse-like beasts of burden that can be ridden or used to carry items, and they're pretty ornery.

Donkeys will spawn on their own in plains, savannahs, or meadows. You can drop a saddle and a treasure chest on them to give yourself some extra carrying capacity when out exploring. If you try to ride one, though, watch out. Donkeys have a temper rating. It starts out at 0 out of 100 and riding it will randomly select a number between 0 and 99. If the number is less than the temper rating, you'll get bucked off. Feeding the donkey sugar, wheat, apples, golden carrots, or golden apples will increase the temper. Mundane materials increase it by 3, while golden carrots and apples increase it by 5 and 10 respectively, making it successively easier to ride, and thus tame, the donkey. Those golden carrots and apples are also the way to activate breeding when pairing two tamed donkeys.

Fish

• Breedable: No
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage 3 (1.5 Hearts)
• What Items do they drop? Fish, Bones
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Fish are a multipurpose mob that serve as food, bait, and trading currency. Cod and Salmon can be eaten raw or cooked, while Tropical fish can be eaten raw. None of them restore much health, but if you're near water they're plentiful and infinitely renewable. If you're farming for enchanted books and bows (see our Fishing guide), they can become so plentiful that they get a little annoying. If you're near a village, a fisherman villager has a chance to trade for all of these types of fish as you level them up, and this can be a good way to farm Emeralds in early Minecraft. Fish can be found in most water biomes, but Tropical and Pufferfish are limited to the warmer ones (warm, lukewarm, deep lukewarm). Pufferfish, notably, are both the most dangerous and least useful. Aside from trading, they're only good for causing player damage and chilling out in an aquarium. They can't be cooked or eaten, and if you find them alive they can cause 2-4 damage (1-2 Hearts) by coming into contact with them.

Fox

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: Yes
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Neutral
• Hit Points / Damage: 10 (5 Hearts / 2 (1 Heart)
• What Items do they drop? Any item carried in its mouth
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Foxes behave not entirely unlike a wilder version of dogs. They spawn in Taiga and Snowy Taiga in orange and white coats respectively, and have a chance to spawn with an item held in their mouth. Foxes are passive by default but skittish, and will run away from a non-sneaking player or any hostile mobs. During the day, they look for something to sleep under, but at night will roam around and eat berries. While you cannot tame an existing fox, you can cause two foxes to breed by giving them both sweet berries in an enclosed space. The resulting Fox kit can be leashed and will eventually trust you. Like a dog, they will attack any mobs the player attacks.

Foxes can hold items in their mouths, and even make use of some of them. A Totem of Undying held by a Fox will activate if the Fox dies, causing the totem to disappear and leaving the Fox alive. Similarly, if you can get your fox to pick up a weapon, that will add to their default attack strength, and any enchantments on that weapon will activate upon use. Foxes are a fun mob to tame since they look extra cute when they curl up and sleep, and fans of Norse mythology or Dark Souls will get a kick out of seeing their cute little canine carrying a sword in its mouth.

Frog

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage: 10 (5 Hearts)
• What Items do they drop? None
• What kind of farms do they support? Froglight Farm

Frogs are one of the newest mobs to join Minecraft, introduced in the 1.19 patch released in June 2022. Frogs spawn naturally in swamps, and can be fed slimeballs to get them to mate, causing a Tadpole to form. Tadpoles can then be raised in other biomes, and will grow up into a frog of one of three colors depending on whether they're raised in a Cold, Temperate, or Warm Biome (see our guide on Minecraft Biomes). Frogs will eat small slimeballs and magma cubes; if they eat a small magma cube, they'll leave behind a Froglight that matches the color of their biome/skin.

Goat

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Neutral
• Hit Points / Damage: 10 (5 Hearts) / 1-3 (.5 - 1.5 Hearts)
• What Items do they drop? Goat Horns
• What kind of farms do they support? Goat Farm

Goats, introduced in 1.18, are one of the newest mobs. While they can be milked like cows, they're significantly more dangerous, able to knock a player back up to 9 blocks. Considering they're found primarily in high-altitude biomes, this can be deadly to an unprepared player. They can also jump up to 10 blocks vertically. If you can get a goat to charge you when you're near a wall, you can dodge the charge, causing the goat to run into a wall and drop one or both of its two horns, which can then be used to create tones. There are two adult variants of goats--standard and screaming--and each has four possible tones for a total of eight. You can breed standard, screaming, or standard and screaming goats together using wheat. A goat farm should include either very tall walls or a roof to keep goats from escaping. When killed, they can drop horns or mutton.

Horse

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: Yes
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage: 15 to 13 (7.5 to 15 Hearts)
• What Items do they drop? Leather, as well as any saddle and horse armor the horse has equipped. Don't kill horses, you weirdo.
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Horses are one of the most common and useful passive mobs in all of Minecraft. While they spawn in plains and savannas, the beasts of burden can be saddled, armored, and ridden, making them the best way to explore until you make it to The End and get yourself some Elytra wings. All you have to do is keep climbing atop the horse until some hearts appear above it. From there, you have a buddy that will take you anywhere you want to go. Also, if you go out wandering during a nighttime thunderstorm--the kind with actual cracking thunder--you can find a quartet of skeleton riders atop skeleton horses. These epic-looking mounts jump 4 blocks higher than their living counterparts, move faster, and don't need to be fed. And they pair well with whatever heavy metal you might want to listen to.

Iron Golem

• Breedable: No
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Neutral
• Hit Points / Damage: 100 (50 Hearts) / 7.5 - 21.5 (3.75 to 10.75 hearts)
• What Items do they drop? 3-5 Iron Ingots, 0-2 Poppies
• What kind of farms do they support? Iron farms

Description: Iron golems are Minecraft's great protectors. They'll spawn in any village--naturally spawning or player-built--with at least 20 beds and 10 villagers, and at least 75% of the villagers attached and actively using their job blocks. One golem spawns per 10 villagers. These big boys will protect villagers from illagers or any other threats, including you, if you don't watch yourself. They can kill an unarmored player in one hit. If you have four iron blocks and a pumpkin, you can even build your own golem.

Llama

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: Yes
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Neutral
• Hit Points / Damage: 15 - 30 (7.5 to 15 hearts) / 1 (.5 hearts)
• What Items do they drop? Leather, and any carpets and chests they have equipped
• What kind of farms do they support? None

If you play a lot of Minecraft, you're probably familiar with llamas as the charges of blue-clad wandering traders that seem to appear everywhere you go and almost never have anything worthwhile to trade. Llamas, however, are their own beasts and have lives apart from those guys. Llamas will spawn in Savanna biomes with a few different coat colors, and you can tame them the same way as you do horses--repeatedly attempting to ride them. Once tamed, you can drop a treasure chest on them, and even decorate them using carpet tiles. How much the llama can carry is based on a randomly generated strength stat, and then form a caravan of llamas by leashing one llama, which causes all of the others to follow it. There are worse ways to move items around, but there are better ways as well, including Shulker boxes and minecarts equipped with chests.

Mooshroom

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage: 10 (5 Hearts)
• What Items do they drop? Beef, leather
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Mooshrooms are, for most users, exactly the same as cows. They only appear in Mushroom field biomes, but you can milk them and breed them with wheat to get a mooshroom calf,, and they can even be milked (Milking with a bowl yields mushroom stew. Yuck.). If you shear a mooshroom, it turns into a regular, plain-old cow. If a mooshroom is struck with lightning, though, it will turn into a brown mooshroom, and you can give it a small flower to get a Suspicious Stew corresponding to that flower, which is effective for between 2 and 10 seconds depending on the stew. Negative effects such as Poison, Weakness, and Wither, last closer to the upper range, while stews like Night Vision and Jump Boost last less time.

Mule

• Breedable: No
• Tamable: yes
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage: 15 - 30 (7.5 to 15 Hearts)
• What Items do they drop? Leather
• What kind of farms do they support? None

What do you get when you combine a horse with a donkey? Just like in real life, you get a mule, the infertile offspring of these two. Minecraft mules are close to horse-sized and have ears, manes, and coats like a donkey. You can't armor them, but you can equip them with a chest like you can a donkey, and a saddle like you can a donkey or horse. They cannot be equipped with horse armor.

Ocelot

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage 10 (5 Hearts)
• What Items do they drop? None
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Ocelots are a rare mob only found in jungles. They look like cats but with spots. You can get them to trust you with raw Cod or Salmon, and you can breed two together the same way. They keep Phantoms and Creepers away like a cat, and will go after chickens and baby turtles if they aren't leashed. They're also one of the very few non-player mobs that can sprint. Use a nametag to name them Revolver or Babou for an extra good time. There are no mechanical benefits to doing that, it's just fun.

Panda

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Neutral
• Hit Points / Damage: 10-20 (5 - 10 Hearts)
• What Items do they drop? Bamboo
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Pandas are one of the more rare mobs, spawning only in jungle and bamboo jungle biomes. They can be born with a number of personalities, including normal, lazy, worried, playful, aggressive, or weak. Rarely, you can also produce a brown panda. Each personality has its own traits; a lazy panda smiles and lays on its back, and is one of the slowest mobs in the game. Worried pandas avoid hostile mobs and shake during thunderstorms. A playful panda sticks its tongue out and rolls around, sometimes even rolling off of a high cliff (hurting or killing the panda). An aggressive panda is especially dogged in its pursuit of a player who hit it. Weak pandas sneeze even more than regular pandas.

You can breed pandas with bamboo, but they also have to be near a significant amount of bamboo--at least 8 blocks of bamboo within a five-block radius of both pandas. When bred together, the panda's two hidden gene values will combine with that of the other pandas, passing the dominant and recessive traits onto their offspring.

Parrot

• Breedable: No
• Tamable: Yes
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage: 6 (3 Hearts)
• What Items do they drop? Feathers
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Parrots are a fun but not terribly functional mob. You cannot breed them, but you can tame them by feeding them seeds. They'll perch on their trusted player's shoulder and stay there until told to sit or pushed off by conditions like falling into lava or sleeping in a bed. They can imitate sounds and dance to jukebox music. The sounds they imitate will be that of nearby mobs, and they generally look in the direction of that mob, so they can act as a sort of early-warning system.

Pig

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage: 10 (5 Hearts)
• What Items do they drop? Pork
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Pigs can spawn in almost any grassy biome and can be bred using carrots, potatoes, or beetroots. You can saddle and ride them, but they need a carrot on a stick to get moving. The ease of feeding and breeding makes pigs a great early-game food source.

Polar Bear

• Breedable: No
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Neutral
• Hit Points / Damage 30 (15 Hearts) / 3 - 8 (1.5 to 4 Hearts) depending on difficulty
• What Items do they drop? Raw Cod, Raw Salmon
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Polar bears can spawn in cold biomes like snowy plains, ice spikes, and deep frozen ocean biomes. They are passive by default, but can be provoked. They can also start hostile if they have a cub with them, and will attack foxes. They cannot be bred or tamed.

Rabbit

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage: 3 (1.5 Hearts)
• What Items do they drop? Rabbit Hide, Raw Rabbit meat, Rabbit's Foot
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Rabbits are an uncommon mob that can spawn in a variety of biomes, and will spawn with biome-appropriate coloring, such as a yellow rabbit in the desert or a white one in snowy plains or taiga. They can drop rabbit's feet, which are used in potion brewing. If you have a tamed cat, the cat may also bring you a rabbit's foot as a gift. Wolves, foxes, and stray cats will hunt down rabbits. You can breed them with carrots, golden carrots, or dandelions. An Easter egg for rabbits is that if you give one the name Toast using a nametag, it will change its coat to match that of a player's rabbit that went missing. In the Java edition, there are red-eyed killer bunnies that will attack players at an accelerated speed.

Sea Turtles

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage: 30 (15 Hearts)
• What Items do they drop? Seagrass, bowl (if killed by lightning)
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Sea turtles typically spawn on sandy beaches and are a passive mob. While you cannot tame them, you can lead them with Seagrass, which is also used to initiate Love Mode for them. Once initiated with two turtles, one of the turtles will become impregnated, and head back to its home beach (turtles remember where they spawned) to lay 1-4 eggs. After about 4-5 in-game days, baby turtles will hatch and take a day to grow to adulthood (they grow up so fast!). When they become adults, the baby turtle will drop a Scute, which you can then use to craft turtle shells to craft the potion of the Turtle Master. Breeding turtles is the only way to obtain scute.

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage: 8 (4 Hearts)
• What Items do they drop? 1 wool matching their wool color, raw mutton
• What kind of farms do they support? Wool

Sheep are a common mob that players can breed and use as a source of both food and wool. Most sheep are white, but you have a small chance of spawning a gray, light gray, black, or brown sheep as well. Additionally, once you start collecting dye from flowers and squid, you can use the dye to dye a sheep while it has its wool still on.

As an easter egg, you can apply a nametag of "jeb_" to a sheep to make it cycle through different colors. Sheep can be bred with wheat, and if the two sheep have compatible colors--such as a blue sheep and a white sheep--the resulting offspring will have the combined color (light blue in this case) corresponding to its parents. You can shear a sheep with wool using a pair of shears, and if the sheep has access to grass the wool will grow back after it grazes.

Snow Golem

• Breedable: No
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage: 4 (2 Hearts) / 3 (1.5 Hearts)
• What Items do they drop? Snowballs
• What kind of farms do they support? Snow farms; compatible with pumpkin farms

A snow golem, like an iron golem, is a construct built by the player. Two snow blocks with a pumpkin atop will activate as a snow golem. These golems wander aimlessly and will throw snowballs at any monster (except ghasts) at up to 10 blocks away, provoking any and all mobs regardless of interaction with the player. The snowballs do not cause damage but will knock enemies back. Snow golems leave a trail of snow when they move around in cold or temperate biomes, making it possible to build a snow farm with a trapped snow golem.

Squids

• Breedable: No
• Tamable: No
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Passive
• Hit Points / Damage: 10 (5 Hearts)
• What Items do they drop? 1-3 Ink Sacs
• What kind of farms do they support? Ink sac farm

Squid are passive in the truest sense. They are neither interested in nor afraid of the player. When attacked by any mobs hostile to them, such as guardians and axolotls, they will spray ink and attempt to escape. Squid are the best source of black dye via their ink sacs, and a squid farm can yield lots of ink very quickly when done right. Glow Squid are mostly identical, but they drop glow sacs instead of ink sacs, and spawn primarily in underground water.

Wolf

• Breedable: Yes
• Tamable: Yes
• Demeanor (Passive/Neutral/Hostile): Neutral
• Hit Points / Damage: Wild - 8 (4 Hearts) Tamed: 20 (10 Hearts)/3-6 (1.5-3 Hearts)
• What Items do they drop? None
• What kind of farms do they support? None

Wolves are a common mob that spawns primarily in forests of various types and one of the few that can be tamed by the player. Tame a wolf by feeding it bones--there's a 1 in 3 chance that it will become tame with each bone, so it may take a few. You can tame an unlimited number of wolves, and each tamed wolf will have a red collar. Use dye directly on the wolf to change the color of its collar. Tamed wolves can be bred using any type of meat, including rotten flesh and raw chicken.

Wolves are a handy combat buddy or just a sweet little guy to have chill at home when you return to base for a visit. You'll have to make that decision based on how bad it feels when your video game dog dies. Untamed wolves can be provoked and will get angry red eyes. While a tamed wolf will never attack the player, if they accidentally attack another tamed dog, the two can get into a fight.
