I was thinking the other day about the deferent passive mobs and was wondering....What in you guys opinion is the MOST useful passive mob in Minecraft and most useful non-Hostile (Not including passive mobs)

Mooshrooms are infinite food supply, but you can get a good building block from them like you can from sheep.

And idk about the others, Iron golems can give you iron,or protect you, but using snow golems for blocks is so much help

Hmm... I picked Mooshroom because it gives you: Milk, beef, red mushrooms, leather, and stew. Keep in mind that all passive mobs are important (except maybe pigs.)

Considering Mooshrooms are hard to get. I go with Cows and Wolfs.

True. too true.

The mooshrooms are the best. They do everything the cows do plus stew! Voted for wolfs. They are the best hunting companion. The best defense is a good offense.

What? No cat option?! Does anyone else remember when creepers use to be a problem?

confusing, as ocelots should be in the other group. At least I think so since they don't spawn in peaceful. Sure they don't attack like the others but it is still considered neutral in my opinion, as it does attack chickens.


I would vote Villager, because their housing and villages give me much inspiration to build & remodel the place, as well add onto them...

If ocelot was in the other part I would vote that as they fend off creepers within a certain radius. As it stands now I would say iron golems, since they drop iron, and you can farm them.:D

IMO Ocelots, Iron Golems, Wolves, (when trading is added) Villagers, Pigs because they're common and Snow Golems since they attack creepers.

I was just going on the Wikis grouping and didn't think of adding ocelots twice. I think the reason that ocelots or consider passive(and tamable) mobs is that they can't hut you, whereas wolfs are "neutral" mob since they can attack you.

So what building blocks can you get from mooshooms?

Depending on the answer to that I would say chickens are the most useful because they give you feathers which are needed for arrows.
I had mooshooms before that I kept on the farm and it just didn't work out as well as I would thought they would. I can only carry so many bowls. If I have bread then that's all I need.

I think that cows are more usefull because:
>they drop leather to make armor
>they drop steaks as an easy food source
>they produce milk so you can stop the poison and food poisoning from hurting you
>they are very easy to find compared to the Mooshroom

I think that iron golems are good because they defend you and they are very strong

still the way I see it is they are neutral, even if by coding not, because they can attack something. All the other passives don't attack regardless if hit. Also all the ones beyond ocelot don't have a designated thing they would attack, but ocelots do. So I guess I just don't agree with the wiki on that note... lol

they should be like dogs: if you hit them, they attack you back

I regretfully have to say cows are the best passive. They are good for food and a quick source of cheap armor, but they are the most annoying things I have ever experienced in a video game; and I've played QWOP.

I voted for all of them XD Just because the poll allowed me to.

Pigs are great transportation if you don't care where you are going, and aren't in a hurry. Snow men are just bad ass with their snowball flingyness.
