Damage/Mobs
< Damage
The damage mobs deal to players is affected by the difficulty setting of the world they are in. The values below represent the amount of damage taken per hit.
- For most attacks, the damage is scaled as follows: if a mob deals D damage on Normal difficulty, then it deals 1.5D on Hard difficulty and min(D, 0.5D+1) on Easy difficulty.
- A mob attacking another mob always deals its Normal difficulty damage regardless of the current difficulty setting.
- The values for a creeper, ghast, and wither assume the player is directly adjacent to the respective explosion.
- The damage of slimes and magma cubes depends on their size. Tiny slimes, while hostile, are unable to inflict damage directly.
- Mobs deal no damage to players on Peaceful difficulty.
