Mobs

Mobs (short for mobiles) are moving entities that can be killed. There are three types in Pocket Edition: passive, hostile, and neutral.

After Update 0.12.1, most mobs drop Experience, with the exception of baby animals, villagers, squids, and bats.

AI

 * Passive mobs ignore the player and run away if attacked.


 * Hostile mobs pursue the player if they are close enough.


 * Neutral mobs attack the player only if aggravated.
 * Utility mobs are created by the player and attack hostile mobs.

Mobs tend to drop items that can be used for crafting, eating, or smelting.

Zombie
The first Hostile Mob added to Minecraft PE. Attacks using melee by walking slowly towards the player. Drops rotten flesh, and makes a low, groaning sound. Can sense players through solid blocks. Burns in sunlight and spawns in light level 7 or below. Has a chance to spawn wearing armor and/or carrying a weapon. Have a chance to spawn as Zombie Villagers (5% chance or when a zombie kills a villager). Can also spawn as babies which are faster, can ride on passive mobs, and do not burn in sunlight. Can break down doors.

Skeleton
Circles the player and shoots arrows. Has no melee attack. Drops arrows and bones. Burns in sunlight like zombie and spawns in light level 7 or below. Chances of wearing armor. When on fire, they will find a place under a tree or in water instead of attacking you.

Creeper
Very dangerous mob. Explodes when near the player, destroying blocks, and even killing nearby mobs or players. Makes hissing sound when about to explode, but approaches silently. Does not burn in sunlight, and spawns in light level 7 or below. When struck by lightning turns into a Charged Creeper which has an explosion that is more powerful.

Slime
Spawn in random chunks underground in caves, and in Swamp Biomes. Cannot swim and drown underwater. When killed, split into smaller versions of themselves.

Silverfish
Spawn only in Extreme Hills Biomes in the form of monster eggs, or through a mob spawner in strongholds. When attacked, summon all other silverfish in the area.

Magma Cube
Hostile mobs that spawn in the Nether and look like nether versions of slimes.

Ghast
Large flying mobs that spawn in the Nether. Shoot Fireballs at the player that cause explosions.

Spider
Spawn in light level 7 or below, and always spawn hostile, but turn neutral in light levels above 7 unless attacked. Can vertically climb over blocks without ladders and see the player through solid blocks. Does not burn in sunlight and can spawn as a Skeleton Jockey.
