Minecraft – What can hostile mobs attack

minecraft-java-edition

I know they attack villagers but I think those are the only type of mob they will attack? Can they attack anything else that I should protect?

Best Answer

Mobs that attack each other:

  • Golems (iron and snow) > all hostile mobs
  • all hostile mobs > you, anything that attacks them (skeleton shoots a zombie by accident zombie attacks skeleton)
  • Cats > Chicken
  • Wolves > Sheep
  • Zombies > Villagers
  • Iron Golems > any player that attacks them or nearby villagers, skeletons, zombies, and witches
  • Tamed wolf > anything player attacks or is attacked by

In answer to your question, your livestock should be safe from anything but wild wolves and cats (except for splash damage from witches or creepers, or stray skeleton shots).
