Top 3 mobs for beginners to avoid taming or walking in Minecraft

Mobs are a significant part of Minecraft, which makes the game more fun. They arise naturally and can be divided into three categories, based on their behavior towards the player.

Summary Minecraft mobs that beginners shouldn't try to tame or ride 3) Ocelots 2) Striders 1) Skeleton Trap Horses

Only a few passive and neutral mobs can be tamed or ridden in Minecraft. The taming process is almost the same for most mobs, but the items players need to feed them may differ.

3) Ocelots

Ocelots are a variant of cats that spawn in the jungle biome. The only reason beginners should avoid taming them is that they are not very common and there is not much benefit to taming them.

Taming them is also very time consuming. Players need to hold a raw fish in their hands without moving and wait for the ocelot to approach. They may need up to 20 raw fish to tame an ocelot. Once domesticated, the ocelot behaves like a pet cat.

2) Striders

Striders are passive mobs and players can encounter them in the Nether world. They spawn in groups of two to four in the lava. Even though they cannot be tamed, players can still ride them using a saddle.

It is not recommended for beginners to try to ride them because striders can walk on lava even when the player is riding them. This can be very dangerous, and without a warped fungus on a stick, players won't be able to control the strider's movement. If the player dismounts by mistake, he may fall into the lava and die.



1) Skeleton trap horses

Skeleton trap horses are like skeleton horses, but when the player tries to get within 10 blocks of them, lightning strikes the horse and four skeleton riders are spawned. Like normal skeletons, their knight variants are also hostile to the player. Defending against four of them won't be easy, especially for those new to Minecraft.


The good thing is that the chances of players encountering a skeleton-trapped horse are extremely rare. They are generated from a fraction of the naturally generated or chance lightning.
