What is Minecraft? Part 1: Mobs

Hello bloggers and welcome to a post that will hopefully show you just what the game Minecraft is and all that fun stuff.
First of all your in a world made completely of blocks and if you play on easy-hard, creatures that will challenge your skills with the sword and will test your mining abilities. These mobs as their called will vary from spiders to large cubes of slime that can poison you, hit you with bows and even knock you back up to I think 5 blocks (1 block = 1 metre). Different mobs have different abilities like creepers, creepers blow up when in range of the player and will give you a small warning by hissing for around 3-4 seconds (some of these measurements will be changed if I find they are wrong ").
By what I have written so far mobs don't sound very nice, but they are not all bad. The name mob is applied to every animal or creature in the game so Zombies, Skeletons and Slimes are called mobs and so are Pigs, Cows and Sheep, which help you a lot in game with food and wool for beds and carpet. Over the time since Minecrafts first appearance Mobs have changed a lot, some people would be surprised to know that Creepers were the original design for pigs or sheep, pretty sure it's pigs though. Mobs test your skills and help you but the ones that might help you or might anger you are probably the NPC villagers that you can trade with for emeralds and diamonds, all sorts of good stuff. Unfortunetly they don't always have good trades, espiacally when you get a 10 diamonds for 15 raw porkchops. NPC's are found in villages that can be found in deserts, grassy plains and forest biomes (more on biomes in a later post). Those are all the different types of animals/ creatures/ mobs in Minecraft and I hope this post has taught you a bit about the game. Until next post, goodbye! (better picture coming soon).
