A user by the name of HeeyMonster has uploaded a short video to the Minecraft Subreddit, which showcases all the mobs the studio has added to the game since it launched more than 10 years ago. Starting off in the “pre-classic” era, this digital museum moves along a timeline and displays a label for each iteration of the game and the monsters and NPCs that were implemented for that update, beginning with Steve.

The player then moves onto the “classic” stage, which shows the skeleton, pig, sheep, and one of Minecraft’s most notorious mobs the creeper. A little further down the line, as it moves closer to the present, there are a slew of other creatures and antagonists that have been added, such as the Enderman in the beta version, the golem in version 1.2.1, all the way up to the most recent version, 1.8, with the killer rabbit on display. There’s also a large gap left from 1.9 onwards in anticipation of what’s to come in future updates.
It really does show just how much the developer has added since the early days. With mobs being added to Minecraft all the time, the world is simply teeming with challenging foes and villagers that can be interacted and traded with. It remains to be seen what else Mojang will come up with next.
As one of the highest-grossing video games of all time, there’s very little chance that the fan base will see the end of Minecraft for many years to come. With so many people showcasing interesting builds and Redstone contraptions, not to mention artwork inspired by the game, and a studio that seems dedicated to improving on it all the time, it’s hardly surprising that it’s become one of the most popular IPs in gaming history, or at least of the last decade or so.
Minecraft is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
