Reason: some mobs damage value in bedrock edition.


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, sulfur cube with TNT, 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.
  • The warden gives Darkness to nearby players, and elder guardians give Mining Fatigue, but these are not attacks. Players simply receive these effects when in range of the mobs.
