Mobs

Mobs – short for mobiles – consists of peaceful or hostile creatures, generally spawned randomly in the game world depending on lighting, height and spawning block conditions. Some of them may drop more or less precious items.

They are not part of the vanilla Minetest game and are currently only available through Mods.
