Neutral and Allied Mobs in Minecraft - For Dummies

Some mobs are neutral, leaving you alone until you provoke them. Minecraft has only a few neutral mobs, and some of them can become allied and fight alongside you, as described in the table.

Neutral and Allied Mobs Neutral or Allied Mob What It Does Cat A cat, which is a tamed ocelot, can follow you around. It attacks chickens and scares creepers. Right-click a cat to have it sit or follow you. It can be bred like certain passive mobs. (Use raw fish instead of wheat.) Enderman The enderman is a mysterious and rare nightfolk that originates from the End. Powerful and tall, it teleports for locomotion and to avoid damage; it dodges projectiles and detests water and sunlight. The enderman is provoked whenever you place the crosshair over it. Iron golem The iron golem is a slow but powerful village guardian that is built by placing a pumpkin on top of a cross of iron blocks. Giant but slow, it attacks nearby hostile mobs or any player who attacks a villager. It flings targets into the air and inflicts massive damage, and it spawns naturally in some villages or when built by the player. Snow golem A snow golem can be built by putting a pumpkin on top of 2 snow blocks. This guardian trails snow as it walks, and it lobs snowballs at hostile mobs, knocking them back. Though harmed by water, with enough numbers it can kill Blaze. It explodes into snowballs when killed. Wolf The wolf is a wild dog that can be tamed. Don’t attack it or else its entire group will charge you. While holding bones, right-click an unprovoked wolf a few times to feed it until it’s tame; right-click tamed wolves while holding meat to feed and heal them. Right-clicking tamed wolves also tells them to sit or follow. Following wolves appear next to you if they can’t reach you; tamed wolves attack your enemies but avoid creepers. Zombie pigman The zombie pigman is a wanderer from the Nether that attacks you if you attack one of its brethren. Undead, it attacks in a swarm and wields a golden sword. Some zombie pigmen can equip better weapons and armor.
