Minecraft is a sandbox game in which players come across many different creatures. These creatures can be grouped into three categories based on their behavior.

Passive mobs are animals that will never attack the player. If the player hits them, they will flee. Neutral mobs are entities that may or may not attack the player. If they are provoked by the player, they will most likely act aggressively. Hostile mobs are the scariest creatures that will always attack the player once they enter its range.

Given below is a list of the most terrifying mobs in Minecraft as of version 1.17.
