A Minecraft Movieis the long-awaited film adaptation of the extremely popular game, and one of the main draws of the project has been the various Easter Eggs and references toMinecraftthat it contains. While there are some subtle inclusions, the most obvious are the creatures and mobs that appear throughout the entirety ofA Minecraft Movie’s story, from simple farm animals to some of the more unique enemies that the game has introduced.
While several more generic mobs aren’t unique to the game, each of them has a specific place in the game’s world that makes them feel unique toMinecraft. Even thoughA Minecraft Moviereferencesand shows off a lot of mobs, there are plenty more that will more than likely be included in a potentialMinecraft Moviesequel.
14Villagers
Minecraft’s Most Helpful NPCs
Villagers are one of the most iconic mobs inMinecraft, and for good reason. They appeared in the movie during the scenes in the village, and there was also the Nitwit villager who fell in love with Jennifer Coolidge inA Minecraft Movie’s funniest side story.
In the game, villagers play a very similar role, living in villages and mostly serving as a way to trade to get rare or unique items. Eachvillager also has a unique profession inMinecraft, whether it be blacksmith, farmer, or librarian, which determines what they can trade.
13Wandering Trader
Minecraft’s Less Helpful NPCs
Wandering Traders are very similar to villagers inMinecraft, with the same overall design and a similar but still unique function. In the movie, one appeared when Steve first brought the other characters to the village, albeit just as a background character. I
Enchanted Iron Pickaxe
6-20 Emeralds
In the game, they will randomly spawn near the player, even outside of villages, with a random selection of trades, and they always appear with a pair of special llamas that will defend them. Their trades aren’t usually particularly helpful, butthey can give out a few rare itemsthat players would have a hard time finding otherwise.
12Vindicator
Axe-Wielding Illagers
Vindicators are a type of illager, the evil villager variants thatMinecrafthas introduced over the years, and inA Minecraft Movie, they appear in the woodland mansion where the group needed to find another Earth Crystal. In the video game,they are some of the most dangerous enemies, as their axes deal a ton of damage, and if they manage to swarm someone, they can quickly take them out. They do appear in mansions, but they are also a big part of raids, where they arrive alongside other illager types like the evoker and pillager to destroy villages.
Protectors Of Villages

Iron Golems show up mostly near theend ofA Minecraft Movie, when the central heroes make an army of them to fight off the invading piglins.They are shown to be the very powerful defenders of the worldagainst any hostile monster, and in the game, they have pretty much the same purpose. They can be created with blocks of iron and a pumpkin, as they were in the film, or they can naturally spawn if a village is big enough. They’ll fight any hostile mob that comes near, save for creepers, to avoid random explosions.
10Piglin
The Nether’s Most Prolific Pigs
The Piglins were obviously one of the biggest parts ofA Minecraft Movie, as they acted as the main antagonistic force throughout the entirety of the film. However,piglins in the game actually behave quite differently from their representation in the movie, as most of the time they are actually neutral mobs. If a player is wearing any piece of gold armor, most of these mobs won’t attack, and piglins can even be traded with for powerful items. However, the movie did accurately represent the fact that they do turn into zombies if they travel into the Overworld.
9Hoglin
Slightly More Pig-Like Than Piglins
By their name alone, hoglins can easily be identified as relating to piglins, as they are the more bestial creatures that piglins associate with. They appeared in the movie with piglin riders when Henry, Steve, and Garret were escaping the attack on the village, but despite their similarities,in the video game, the piglins' only interaction with hoglins is to hunt them. They tend to wander around the Nether aimlessly, attacking any player on sight, and acting as the only real source of decent food in the whole dimension.
8Ghast
Crying, Flying, Fireball-Blasting Monsters
Ghasts are mobs similarly found in the Nether, and inA Minecraft Movie, they act as the flying units of the piglin army throughout the film. They carry wooden platforms that bring piglin troops across the vast distances of the Overworld while shooting fireballs. Whileghasts inMinecraftcan’t carry creatures, they do shoot fireballs, and the happy ghast variant can actually be ridden by players and transport mobs around the world. They are the only source of ghast tears, which can be used when making potions to brew a potion of regeneration.
7Creeper
Minecraft’s Most Iconic Denizens
Creepers are undoubtedly the most iconic and one of thescariest mobs inMinecraft, essentially acting as the face of the franchise as a whole. They have a whole scene dedicated to them inA Minecraft Movie, when Steve, Henry, and Garrett are making their way through the redstone mines, and they have to traverse through Steve’s unfinished creeper farm. The movie portrays them pretty accurately, thoughthey are much more aggressive in the game, as they will attempt to explode whenever they go near a player, as opposed to waiting until they are hit to blow up.
6Zombie
The Most Basic Minecraft Mob
Zombies are the easiestMinecraftmob to understand, as they are pretty much exactly what one would expect a zombie to be. In the movie, they appeared at the beginning, when the humans were surviving their first night, being one of the primary threats.In the game, zombies occupy pretty much the same role, being a fairly dangerous melee threat for the first few nights, but providing very little danger for most of the game. They do have unique mechanics, being able to pick up armor and weapons to use, as well as the ability to summon reinforcements.
5Skeleton
Skeletons are also very simple mobs, as the skeleton is one of the most common enemies that exist in all sorts of video games and movies.A Minecraft Movie’s opening pretty much showed off all they have to offer, asthey are generally quite dangerous, with their very accurate long-range bowattacks remaining deadly even during the later stages of the game. There are also multiple variant skeletons in the game, with strays being able to slow players and spawning in snow biomes, the bogged, who poison their enemies in the swamp, and Wither skeletons in the Nether.
