Q&A for How to Fight Mobs in Minecraft

Creeper weakness is CAT. If a creeper chases you, quickly go near a cat and the creeper will run away.

A question commonly asked from survival Minecrafters! For enderman, put water around your house. You can build a pond or garden with some water in it. Also, make sure all spots in your house are only 2 feet tall; this will prevent enderman from teleporting in. For zombies and creepers, build a wall of dirt or cobblestone, whichever is more accessible, around your house/property. Make the wall about 3 blocks thick to prevent creeper explosions from destroying it. For skeletons, build the wall, but maybe put up some slabs so you are protected from arrows while walking on the wall. For spiders, build a one-block overhang on the outside of your wall. This will prevent the spiders from climbing it.

The Enderman is tough, but its major weakness is water. The easiest way to kill an Enderman is to stand in shallow water and make eye contact with it. The Enderman will teleport to you, get hurt by the water, and then teleport away. Repeat this to kill the Enderman.

Yes, enderman can teleport anywhere. That is, anywhere three blocks high. If you were to make a roof only 2 or 2 1/2 blocks high they couldnt teleport in. However, you probably want to make a bigger house than that. The best way to do it then is to make sure enderman dont spawn at all. Mobs only spawn 20 blocks to 36 blocks away from a player, and only move when they are under 26 blocks away from the player. If you were to correctly light the entire area, you should be completely safe.

No, they don't. Cave spiders have 12 health points, while normal spiders have 16 health points.

You can't avoid getting the wither status effect, however you can drink milk to remove all status effects, including wither sickness. You can also drink a potion of regeneration or a golden apple, which will heal you faster than the wither effect damages you.

The best way to beat the guardians is to take a lot of enchanted armour, weapons, and a lot of potions. Strength potions, water breathing potions, night vision potions, and health potions should the potions you take along.

Make sure you have: a sword Iron/Diamond, a bow and at least one arrow, armor, a bucket of milk, and cooked meat. When you see a witch first make sure you're far enough from the witch so it can't see you. Then charge a bow to full strength and shoot it. Shooting it will take out some of its health, making it weaker for your next attack. After shooting the witch, immediately run at it and attack it with your sword. No matter what potions it throws at you, keep attacking until it's dead. After you've kill the witch, drink the milk to remove any potion effects and eat the meat to fill your hunger meter.

Open equipment screen (default button is E), move pumpkin to helmet spot.

I recommend stone tools for fighting mobs, because stone tools are better than wood, but still very easy to make.

Spawn it by making a 2 block tall pillar from soul sand (found in the nether), then attaching soul sand to the left and right of the pillar to make a T shape. Then place 3 wither skeleton skulls (rare drops from wither skeletons) on top.

One way to keep Creepers away is tame a ocelot and have it follow you around. Enderman protection is water; Enderman are scared of it. However, Endermen won't attack you unless you look in their eyes.

They stay like that for some time.They will return to normal once they regenerate above half health.

No. Adult zombies cannot ride on anything, though adult skeletons and baby zombies can.

Nederland, after being provoked, will continue to follow you until you kill it or die yourself.

Water. If you place a water bucket on yourself, they are unable to hit you, as water damages them.

You don't have to kill the chicken, actually. But if you did. you can get feathers and raw or cooked chicken from it, which could be used for books, quills, arrows, food, and decorations.

He will attack you regardless of where you are; he just flies around for a while before attacking.

If you kill a snow golem, you will get two snowballs and possibly some XP.

Attack a shulker when its shell is open and it is exposing its face. Make sure you have a shield with you, as if you get hit with a projectile you will levitate for 10 seconds. (The shield will block the projectile.)

Same way as described here. The mobs and how to kill them don't change between versions.

If a chicken jockey goes off a cliff, it will just float to the ground like a normal chicken. However, it floats down very slowly, so that would be a good opportunity to attack it.

Skeleton and zombie horses cannot hurt you. Zombie horses do not spawn naturally and cannot be ridden, so they are not really useful. Skeleton horses have a rare chance if spawning in thunderstorms. If a skeleton horse is struck by lightning, it summons two more skeleton horses, with skeletons with enchanted bows and helmets riding them. Once you kill the skeletons, you can saddle and ride these skeleton horses, so one could say skeleton horses are good mobs.

The skeleton and zombie have the same health, but the chicken has 2 hearts, whereas the spider has 8.

Yes, a shield will block a shulker's projectile attack. You also won't be affected by levitation.

They don't move, so use a potion of invisibility, and a good sword and spam.

You may have an ocelot (cat) near you. Kill it with a bow, or lead it away from your house.

Wither Skeletons do not burn in daylight. Wither Skeletons are immune to fire damage so sunlight will not affect them.

You could change the difficulty to peaceful, as the Ender Dragon will still be there, and there will be no Enderman. You could also just wear a pumpkin on your head and not hit the Enderman.

Although it doesn't affect your attacks, it may be difficult to aim if you are in 3rd person view.
