Learn all about the different Mobs that you can feed during your adventures in Minecraft and what they eat.
Minecraft is home to a vast array of mobs with unique behaviors and preferences. One of the most engaging aspects of interacting with these creatures is understanding the different dietary habits of all the mobs. Feeding mobs not only helps to tame and breed them but can also unlock special interactions and benefits.
In this article, we will list all the mobs featured in Minecraft and what you can feed them.
All Feedable Mods and What They Eat in Minecraft

Passive mobs are the friendly creatures of Minecraft, and here’s what you can feed them:

Hostile Mobs
While most hostile mobs don’t have feeding mechanics, a few do react differently based on items offered:

Special Case Mobs
Some mobs don’t neatly fall into the above categories but still have feeding mechanics:
- Villagers: Positive interactions with villagers involve trading, and feeding them specific crops (Potatoes, Carrots, Bread) can help spawn baby villagers.
- Turtles: Seagrass (for breeding and leading them back to the water).
