Top 10 Hardest Minecraft Mobs to Beat

The Top Ten
Wither

The Ender Dragon may be hard, yes, but you just need a bow, a ton of arrows, and accuracy. All the dragon does is charge at you, and you could easily hit him when he is charging.

The Wither, though, does the following:
- It stays up close and will not leave you alone.
- It kills any mob that isn't from the Nether.
- It shoots Wither Heads at you, which can blow up obsidian.
- It gives a wither effect that can actually kill you.
- It regenerates its health by itself.
- It always stays out of range of a sword until you can get it to 50% health.

You need 50 billion healing potions to beat this mob! It's so hard to beat!

Want my advice? Bring him to an enclosed area so he can't destroy anything valuable, and do not forget to bring potions. Good luck.

Ender Dragon

This guy has ender crystals gazillions of feet above the ground, not to mention the horde of Endermen who are free to destroy you left and right. Plus, he has a bunch of health and magic, and you have to defeat Endermen in the Overworld in order to get here. After all that, he's a real weakling.

All you have to do to defeat the Ender Dragon is destroy all the ender crystals and hit it with a bow until it comes charging at you. Then whack it with a sword and deflect what it throws at you.

Enderman

Ghasts: Launch fireballs that can be deflected and have low health.

Ender Dragon: It's a boss mob that's only difficult because of the Endermen minions.

Charged Creepers: Rare, more powerful versions of normal creepers. Only the blast strength is different, though. Just as easy to kill as the regulars, since they are both no match for a bow.

Herobrine: One word - mod. Doesn't count as an actual "Minecraft Mob."

Endermen: Hard-hitting teleporters who like to sneak up behind you and sometimes strike in groups. They are immune to any sort of ranged attack and are definitely the toughest non-boss mob to beat.

Creeper

Charged creepers can explode you out of the world! However, I think lava creepers are better. They just kill you.

Endermen are quite hard because they can teleport. Anyway, Herobrine is just a glitch!

It's pretty rare to see a charged creeper in the wild. They are really strong, though, and can pack a lot of damage if you stand next to them or they creep up on you.

Charged creepers are so easy. When they come after you, just run back, then sprint forward right through them. They blow up, and you're out of range.

Skeleton

I feel like it's so hard to get near them. It just seems like their arrows have a life of their own, pushing you away from their master, who doesn't want you to kill him - King Skeleton!

Skeletons are actually harder to kill than creepers. Creepers can only attack you once, within about a 5-block radius, but skeletons can attack many times from as far as 20 blocks away.

At least they don't have flaming arrows! They're already annoying enough. Not as tough as Herobrine or the Ender Dragon.

Cave Spider

A bucket of milk will help with the poison.

Giant

These things are hard to kill for sure if they're spawned in by some idiot. But if you want to have fun spawning them, go for it - it can be quite fun but challenging.

Although it's an unused mob, it's very hard to kill these oversized zombies!

Zombie

A siege of zombies is hard to kill, but you can keep them away at night. Just follow these simple tips:

1. Don't sleep in a village (it's where they're most common).
2. Use an iron door with a button instead of a wooden door on higher difficulty (zombies can break them down), or you can put a dirt block in front of the door.

If you want to fight them, it's hard (depending on their numbers) but not impossible. Just do this:

1. Bring your dogs.
2. Bring food.
3. Use armor.
4. Bring a sword or bow.
5. Use a strength potion if there's a large siege.

Yeah, zombies are hard to defeat, but when they are in a group, it's insane! They ripped my armor off in 20 seconds - I counted myself!

Ghast

These things are so hard to kill. I went into the Nether, and a Ghast came out of the gloom and attacked! They can detect you from a tenth of a kilometer away (100 blocks). I tried to shoot it, but it would always hit me with basically flammable arrows first. Then I moved in to kill it with a sword, but it flew up and just kept shooting me, so I ran.

It followed me to the edge of a cliff and hit me with a fireball. I was knocked over the cliff for a fifty-block drop onto hard ground, and I was burning! Instant death. Luckily, I had KeepInventory on.

Zombified Piglin

If you kill a Zombie Pigman with water damage in the overworld, other pigmen won't attack you because it counts as environmental damage.

As for the Nether, use a strength potion with either a sword or bow and arrows.

Don't go near a horde of 10 or more. The same applies if there are groups of 3 or more near you. If so, you'll end up with 50+ Zombies!

If many Zombie Pigmen are nearby, why not just avoid attacking them? After all, they leave you alone if you leave them alone.

The Newcomers

? Warden

They aren't even meant to be beaten. Best not to try facing off against this 500-health beast.

? Bomb

Knows how to do explosions. Stay away.

The Contenders
Spider Jockey

These little marvels are efficient killing machines. A spider's ability to climb walls and poison the player, combined with a skeleton's ranged attack, is a formidable combination.

I'm glad there aren't any spider-riding skeletons in real life. Good thing they have only a 1% chance to spawn, or I don't think I'd be able to play on any difficulty but Peaceful.

These things are rare. They have a 7.47% chance of spawning, and I can't believe they can climb walls. Gotta go, there's one chasing me right now - I'm playing Minecraft at the same time I'm doing this.

Witch

Actually, you might think these things are weak, but these ugly, evil villagers are so hard to get rid of and kill! One day, instead of going to bed, I went out when night was almost over, and a witch showed up behind me. I kept running, but with just one throw, it poisoned me down to half health, and I almost died. Luckily, I made it to my upstairs, but it wasn't over.

It then turned morning, and I turned around, and that witch scared the crap out of me. It stayed there in the field all day and then found a hole to hide in so that when I came out, it could kill me. I looked outside and saw a black thing - I thought it was a floating coal, but it wasn't. I realized at the moment I saw purple that it was the witch. It stayed there for one whole night and morning until the next night when it finally left before the sun came down.

Witches are so sneaky and smart, and I hate those things so much!

Iron Golem
Blaze

Don't forget to drink a potion of fire resistance before attacking! And use snowballs first to weaken the blaze.

Try deflecting the blaze's fireballs back at it. Use bow and arrows as well. Or build a blaze grinder.

Guys, blazes are balls of fire. How cool is that? They can fly and go through lava or fire.

Wither Skeleton

Definitely the hardest. All my deaths in the Nether are because of them. They give the wither effect and do loads of damage. They're the reason I hate the Nether!

My brother and I just discovered them. I turned around and got hit with the wither effect and a sword.

They're just like regular skeletons. You just need a bucket of milk.

Phantom
Chicken Jockey

These mobs are hilarious. A baby zombie riding a chicken - like, wow!

Elder Guardian
Chicken

They lay eggs all over and lag up the game. However, one swipe of a sword can take care of this egg-laying pest.

Magma Cube

Magma Cubes can be extremely powerful. The bigger they are, the stronger they are. Killing one will only result in more. The reason I didn't select Slimes instead is that Magma Cubes are fire-resistant, and the tiny cubes do damage as well.

They are worse versions of slimes.

Silverfish
Rabbit
Ocelot
Zombie Villager

Potion of weakness and a golden apple. These two are the keys.

Wolf

How do you render this thing harmless? Switch to Peaceful mode. Then, the wolf won't deal damage - it will just push you around.
