Mobs
From Minepedia - The Minecraft Wiki!
Mobs are the various types of creatures and monsters found in Minecraft. Currently, there are twelve types of mobs. Each of these mobs are affected by the same environmental hazards as the player, including burning and collision (falling) damage. Up to 200 hostile mobs and 15 neutral mobs can be on a map at a time. Mobs spawn no closer than 24 blocks and disappear if they are more than 4 chunks away from the player. The term "mob" is short for "mobile" and is pronounced as such. It has been used as a general term referring to any moving entities in games since the rst MUDs surfaced.

[2] (http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=30688) Wolves - Notch has stated that wolves are going to be a denite addition [3] (http://twitter.com/notch/status /21220377124) Whales - Whales have recently been conrmed as a sea mob, although their purpose hasn't been specied.

Potential Future Mobs

Notch announced on December 20th, that he will potentially add a new mob on or around Christmas. See here (http://notch.tumblr.com/post/2390438980/minor-patch-1-0-01-more-bugxes-tomorrow|) Giants - Notch briey ran a test of giant zombies during the very rst version of survival (video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiqneDn-VqM) ). It is possible Giants may become a future mob, although Giants are still hidden in the code and it is possible to spawn them with mods or a map editor.

Sea Monsters - On July 21st, 2010, Notch commented via Minecast (http://minecast.zuriki.net/) that Sea Monsters are a possibility. He particularly noted the possibility of sharks. Whales have recently been conrmed as a sea mob, although their purpose hasn't been specied. Boss Monsters - There is a possibility of boss monsters for the players to slay.[4] (http://twitter.com/notch /status/29602329787) Mimics - Notch commented via Minecast that mimics may be a possibility.

Trivia
The Halloween Update version 1.2.0 allowed hostile mob to spawn in higher light levels at lower depths, using the formula 16 - (Layer 8). At level 8 and below, mobs could spawn even in sunlight. Notch reverted mob spawning to the original method in version 1.2.1, saying (http://notch.tumblr.com /post/1486843146/minecraft-alpha-1-2-1-minecraft-server-0-2-3) , "it was far too annoying. I have plans on what to do with this."
