Minecraft — Mob
Guess today's Minecraft mob!
About Mob Mode
Figure out which Minecraft creature is hiding today. Mob Mode opens on an empty grid and leaves the filling to you: every name you throw at it — from the harmless pig to the dreaded Wither — hands back clues about the day's secret creature, and the fun lies in crossing those clues until the net closes.
What sets one mob apart from another is pure Minecraft ecology. The grid weighs six traits: behavior (hostile ones that strike in the dark, neutral ones that hit back only when provoked, passive ones that flee, or battle bosses), the dimension it spawns in (Overworld, Nether or End), health in hearts, model height, the drops it leaves when it dies, and the update the creature debuted in. Each column lands dead-on (blue), comes close (amber, when a dimension or a drop is shared), or points with an arrow to whether the secret number runs higher or lower.
Think like an explorer: if today's beast drops string and web, you're already in spider country; if it only exists in the End and flies, the Ender Dragon and the Shulker enter the reckoning. Good guesses aren't random — each attempt should knock out half a dozen suspects and tighten the target's behavior, dimension or health range.
There's no cap on tries, so no one gets stuck; the score that counts is how few guesses it took. When you land it, the game builds a recap in colored little squares that you can drop in the group chat without giving away the name — just the shape of your hunt.
Frequently asked questions
How many creatures can turn up in the draw?
Almost the whole bestiary — close to 90 mobs, from farm animals to bosses like the Wither and the Ender Dragon. Whenever Mojang adds a new creature, it joins the rotation.
How does the hostile, neutral and passive category help narrow things down?
It slices the bestiary into big chunks on the very first guess: a passive target instantly rules out every Creeper, Skeleton and spider; a boss shrinks the list to a handful of names. It's the most decisive clue early in the round.
Is it better to guess a rare mob or a common one first?
Start with creatures that have a well-defined profile, even unlikely ones, to split the field — a Nether mob and an Overworld mob on your first two plays already reveal the target's dimension and shorten the search a lot.
