In Minecraft there is a large number of different creaturesn, many of them are hostile. Although in general you can attack all of them with any weapon (sword, bow, pickaxe…), each enemy has its own AI and not all have the same number of hearts.
Among the enemy creatures we can distinguish two types: those that we anticipate for an attack provoke and those who, on the contrary, will always attack us as soon as they see us. We list them all below.
