version: "1.0.0" name: mobs_and_combat description: Minecraft 1.21.1 mob and combat facts - weapon damage and attack speed, critical hits and shields, armor, and a reference of overworld, Nether and End mobs with health, behavior, what makes them dangerous, and what they drop.


Mobs and combat (1.21.1)

Weapons

WeaponDamageAttacks per second
Hand14
Sword: wood / gold, stone, iron, diamond, netherite4, 5, 6, 7, 81.6
Axe: wood / gold, stone, iron, diamond, netherite7, 9, 9, 9, 100.8 to 1.0
Trident (melee / thrown)9 / 81.1
Mace6, plus extra damage per block fallen before the hit0.6
Bow (fully drawn)about 6, up to 10 on a critical
Crossbow6-11slow reload
  • An attack does full damage only after the weapon's cooldown has refilled; swinging early does much less.
  • Critical hit: attacking while falling (not sprinting) deals 50% more.
  • A sword hit while standing still sweeps nearby mobs too.
  • Shields block attacks from the front (including arrows and most of an explosion). An axe hit disables a shield for 5 s.
  • Smite adds damage against undead (zombies, skeletons, wither skeletons, the Wither, phantoms, drowned); Bane of Arthropods against spiders, silverfish, endermites and bees.
  • Fire Aspect and Flame have no effect on fire-immune mobs (blazes, magma cubes, wither skeletons, ghasts, striders, zombified piglins).

Armor points (20 = full diamond) reduce most attack damage; toughness (diamond, netherite) keeps that reduction against big hits.
