How to Add New Mobs in Minecraft

After playing Minecraft for a long period of time, you and other players may want to have new creatures in the world. Whether you want more animal diversity or simply fun creatures to enjoy, there are many possibilities to consider. However, the exact process to achieve this can take different forms. These range from designing your own custom creatures to installing add-ons for existing ones. This means you have a wide variety of options to experiment with, leading to an amazing wildlife experience in Minecraft. Nevertheless, it’s important to note that this varies depending on the edition of the game you are using. With this in mind, we’ll show you all the methods to add new creatures in Minecraft across all editions, according to this Holy Hosting guide.

How to Add New Mobs in Minecraft

As mentioned above, there are several ways to add new creatures in Minecraft. These include using an external program to design your own, installing modifications or plug-ins, and setting up Bedrock add-ons for those using that edition. We’ll give you some examples of what each method can do to help you get started with this task. However, it’s worth noting that the version of Minecraft can determine what’s available. For example, some modifications may only work on version 1.16 and not be compatible with others. In cases where you can’t introduce custom creatures, consider retexturing them so they act as “new” ones. Additionally, check the subsections below when you’re ready to learn how to add additional animals in Minecraft.

Design Your Own Mobs

Players have the ability to create their own creatures with the Minecraft Entity Wizard, released in recent years. This is a tool based on the Blockbench application, which is completely free and safe to use. For example, you can design entirely new animals of any shape or size. Alternatively, using it to modify in-game behaviors and textures are other options to consider. We highly recommend using this tool to create your own creatures in Minecraft for both editions.

Custom Minecraft Mobs

In most cases, players won’t have the time or energy to design their own creatures for Minecraft. Because of this, they may choose to install mods or add-ons to achieve similar results. Whether you decide to try Alex’s Mobs for Forge or MythicMobs for Spigot, the possibilities are endless.

It’s highly recommended to use a Minecraft server for this, as you’ll have more opportunities to add new creatures. Once installed, you’ll be able to enjoy giraffes or custom bosses for even more fun in the game.

Install Bedrock Add-ons

For those who only play the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft, there’s another way to add new creatures. This process involves installing add-ons or purchasing packs from the Marketplace. Whether you want custom creatures or unique textures with effects, you have plenty of options.

The vast majority of these add-ons are only available through the official Marketplace, though some may be found online for free. Keep this in mind when trying to add new creatures in Minecraft Bedrock.
