Diamond Chicken has it's niche uses though. Can you really name a single use for librarian?

Let's be real, the most useless mob in Minecraft is Steve. I mean, he literally doesn't do anything and we have to control him manually, smh lazy devs.

The second I saw that it was just an empty 4 panel grid at 2:01 I IMMEDIATELY knew that someone would just make Loss. They did not dissapoint

I think it’s how big of a deal Mojang makes menial mobs, and how often they’ve been pushing them - if Silverfish were released in 2023 they’d be announcing it along with other mobs just as important as it. I honestly think most of those mobs wouldn’t be a problem if Mojang didn’t make a habit of including them so much.

You know it's bad when the command block gets brought up to justify the existence of a mob. Also, rabbits.

Nitwit is not useless, he a character that you can relate to

the most useless mob is that one villager when you want is to become a librarian

1:51 for anyone who doesn't get it It's a nitwit (i think) villager, that means they can't work/trade

Jus remember that without squids we wouldn’t be able to make book and quills, and no book and quills means no declarations of independence of nations in minecraft SMPs

I have quite literally never seen a glowsquid and thought "Oh wow some wildlife in this cave!" it's always just floundering on the cave floor before it suffocates and dies. Such a pathetic and useless mob.

For me, all mobs in Minecraft make the game feel more immersive, varied, and visually interesting. I'd love if they would have more complex interactivity, like an ecosystem.

2:55 There's a fifth. Saw her last night.

People always say the bat is useless, but no one talks about the zombie horse

Maybe the most useless mobs were the friends we made along the way

The problem I have with Mob Vote mobs (and frankly every mob that has been released after 1.16) is that they don’t provide a significant enough change in the early game. They are just either a small niche, or a branched optional “post-game” that are very hard to achieve for the casual player. I love the designs and concepts, they just haven’t been executed super well. And yes, there are mobs that are older that don’t do anything, but they make their respective biomes feel more alive.

The mule is proven to be useful since it has the speed of a horse and can also carry stuff like the donkey

I think it stem from the fact that rather adding a unique mob with a unique design that has multiple abilities and uses, they add one real life mob that has a single use and nothing else it interacts with the game if anything at all. I mean it's nice that they do add some real mobs, but it's too the point where the game doesn't really have unique identity and functionality in the game itself.

The glow squid isn’t necessarily useless, but it’s use could have been given to glow stone dust hence it’s not needed

The caption never said these mobs are completely useless. It says they are the 4 most so. Meaning if there are no mobs more useless than these four it's correct, even if some of them have some bizarre niche use. I'd swap the glow squid for the ocelot and the squid for the nitwit, though.

I remember when people would complain when Mojang added literally any mob you can’t tame. Good to see that mindset is working its way into the tameable mobs too

Peenix survival craft

Between the Squid and Glow Squid, the Glow Squid is more useless because you can sell the Ink Sacs to the Villagers.

Wolves need an overhaul. They were great at the time they were added but they really got left behind by the march of progress.

The greatest pain of all fandoms is the clash between people with zero nuance or analytical skill, and the people who aggressively refuse to scrutinize the things they enjoy, not because they don't want to see things improve, no, because acknowledging flaws is scary and if they accept that it's sub-standard or dumb then that means they can't like it anymore.... Because liking dumb things is a crime I guess.

The most useless mob is the panda. It's super rare, so you need to go out of your war to get it. Then when you do, it does absolutely nothing, and only drops bamboo, which is already readily available in the biome where it spawns, and is super easy to farm. May as well drop nothing. It could honestly be removed from the game and I wouldn't notice

0:50 I mean, there's a lot of mobs I can't personally find a use for so it's hard to say for sure... but it's definitely not too far off if not truth...

Normal squids are incredibly useful, i write a lot of books in minecraft

The mule is probably one of the best mobs if you don’t have access to the end yet. It’s strong, fast, and can carry a bunch of extra inventory.

I think for like practical application in survival mode the first list was pretty accurate o: Like I think The Polar Bear is WAAAAAAY too rare to come across to actually be used or even encountered at all in a natural survival world and the squids only offer cosmetic changes o: I think at the very least bats can absolutely have a little bit of use for like activating pressure plates and such but it'll probably take an INCREDIBLE amount of effort to even get them to somewhere slightly useful or convenient.

Edit: I had to Shane out the Wandering Trader with the Sniffer by someone’s request. The four horsemen of useless mobs when you hardly need them: Sniffer - It only sniffs out for useless decorative plant seeds. Turtle/Baby Turtle - If you need to go for at least a longer dive even with Aqua Affinity and Respiration 3 with 10 seconds of water breathing, then you have to hatch and grow 5 baby turtles to adults, which means you need lots of sea grass. Phantoms - They only provide membrane to repair Elytra’s. *Pre-End.* And they are hard to hit in the air way up high. Armadillo - I’m calling it now, they will only provide means of “extending” the life of a dog you may not want to endanger in combat of Minecraft because I know pretty much everyone has sentimental value on an NPC. Anyone that disagrees with me can go kiss the Wither.

2:50 OMG PHOENIX ACTUALLY COVERED MY POST IM CRYING RN BRO 😭💀 Thanks PhoenixSC!!

The sniffer, glow squid, modern ocelot, and the frog. Those are my 4 horsemen of useless mobs. The goat is an honorary 5th member.

you can also use bats to locate caves

So the squid isn't useless because it drops ink... Without ink we couldn't have quills and therefor wouldn't have books with writing. Not only would we not have the magic of book bans, but also we wouldn't have the uncensored library, which is one of the coolest and most important minecraft projects ever.

Personally, I'm ok with useless mobs. Like, I'm ok with them just helping the world feel fuller and richer. My problem is when they're touted as being so big and important and then they don't do much. I reckon there'd be WAY less controversy around the glow squid if it hadn't been part of a mob vote, and had just been quietly added. That would be awesome!

I can't believe after all these years they still haven't added the illusioner and zombie horse to survival.

0:32 And the fox is the fifth useless mob on the list.

The most useless mob is a VEX , it is just ANNOYING, doesn't drop any XP and can EVEN FLY THROUGH WALLS

The one use bats have is finding caves that are really close underground, but not quite connected.

1:29 Mule is useful and Skeleton Horse is too epic to be useless. It has vanity purpose, like the glow squid, except I like it slightly more cause of the skeleton army chance.

It really does feel like the first guy just didn't see these mobs often and thought they were useless. I'd understand if it was something like the sniffer, but squids and glow squids? Really?

0:09 "1.1k are mining water" Not sure how that works

Polar bear: useful because I have killed the hunter in a manhunt by luring them into one when they had a weapon and I didn't. Glow squid: useful because I need glow ink sacs. Squid: useful because I need regular ink sacs. Bat: useful because... No, I'm just kidding, bats don't do anything.

Pov squid gets deleted and you have to fight the wither to get black dye😂

1:20 don't let the skeleton horse distract you from the true useless equidae mob: the zombie horse, that mf can't even be in the game if you don't use commands

We really need a new regular hostile mob that can just spawn in the overworld in general dark places. Maybe make it a uncommon spawn, and have it be like a mini boss that would be a slight challenge to fight for players.

1:53 Centrism is a great way to eternally regress human progress to the point of destruction.

Camel: Only use is not being able to be hit by melee hostile mobs but Phantoms and Skeletons can still hit you. Sniffer: Finds and gives you two flowers and that's it. Both squids: Enough Said. Polar bears: Why? Bats: Just a sign of a bigger cave but that's about it, you still got to find the cave still. Ocelots: Use to be good until they were retired. Bees: They don't speed up your crops nor provide much hunger points. Ally: By the time you find one you'd already have defeated the dragon and got yourself a few shulker boxes.... no use for a mob that can pick up 1 type of block at a time. Axolotl: Cute but that's about it. Donkey: Sure they can carry stuff but nothing ground breaking, better off getting shulker boxes for storage while on the move. Mule: No real uses besides a source of leather. Frog: Frog lamps? The effect to get this are not worth the trouble. Parrots: They sit on your shoulder but fly off when you jump up a block.... real useful... not. Rabbit: Almost impossible to hit and only use is their foot that is used to brew a potion of jump boost but not worth catching for a pot that lasts a short amount of time. Snow glom: Just for show, they don't do any damage. Tadpole: Pointless addition. Wandering Trader: Like who will buy a birch sapling for 3 emeralds... no one. Nitwits: Filler mob for villagers. Fox: Cute but useless. Goat: Waiting around in hopes they'll charge at you and be lucky enough to get a horn that places a bunch of weird and lame tunes for a short period of time. Llama: first version of the camel. Panda: Nothing of value. Trader Llama: Why? Endermite: Why? Husk: Drop flesh and gives you hunger when hit... oh and they don't burn in day light.. Zombie: Just pray you've been in your chunks long enough for them to start spawning with armor on let alone chances for them to drop it.. Phantom: Punish the player when they don't sleep... but to nullify this all you need to do is be under a block and no phantoms will spawn... a very flawed mob. Silverfish: Just a annoying mob. Vex: phase through blocks and are hard to hit, don't drop anything and they sound creepy. Witch: Did you need some sugar? redstone? or an empty bottle? Zoglin: Rotten meat. Armadillo: Let's get endless scout for dog armor that has no durability meaning once you have armor for all your dogs the mob now is useless. Maybe Breeze idk yet. Mojang talks a big game about never adding mobs in for the sake of it and it has to have a purpose.... then they add these to the game. I am in no way hating any of these mobs, I just find it hypocritical when Mojang says no to a ton of mob suggestions and say mobs/items/blocks have to have a purpose/use in the game and then turn around and remove uses for the ocelots or add frogs or never make the 'glow' squid actually.... idk... glow. IMO this is a fantasy game so stop adding real life mobs like the camel or the bat or the bee and start making more fantasy mobs like the strider or the phantom or the breeze or the ender dragon... just because a real life animal is almost wiped from the earth doesn't mean you need to or should add it to the game because there is no indication in game the reason behind adding bees or pandas or even axolotls.. so please for the love of god stop making minecraft like you are walking on eggshells and actually make the game fun again and let loose and go ham.

Bats are pretty neat though because they attract mobs to your position when they squeak. Would be cool if it was expanded on though, and made more clear that they do that. You could even give them fruit to shut them up or something as a non lethal option (which would be a lot easier than trying to hit their tiny hitbox). Maybe if you give one enough fruit it gives you a short night vision buff or something as a reward.

Squids aren't useless! You can use a bucket on them to get milk!

Skeleton horses are one of my favorite mobs Pros ✅️ -Can be ridden underwater -Doesn't need a saddle in Bedrock -Undead >Can be healed with harming pots/arrows but still has passive healing like regular horses >Not targeted by the wither Cons ❌️ -Cannot be healed with food like regular horses (apples, wheat, hay bales, sugar, golden apples, golden carrots) -Cannot be bred for better health, speed, or jump height like regular horses -Lower health than most regular horses >(15 HP instead of 15-30 HP)

I love how the 7 horses guy managed to make loss

Dude i just want more wacky mobs like the creepers or the endermen that spawn anywhere in the world and do wacky stuff with actual good loot, minecraft is hyperfocusing on providing biome specific / structure specific mobs instead of just putting more all over the world.

Squids and glow squids are pretty useful because of black dye and glowing signs and item frames. They surely are, though, the most terrible mobs in the game. Squids keep suffocating in walls, and glow squids spawn almost 100% of the times in minuscule waterfalls, so they get pulled away from them and die in 1-2 minutes because of dehydration.

“Cracks knuckles” okay, the most useless mobs in minecraft survival are : Bat, Nitwit, Polar Bear and Vex. Change my mind (actually take a shot with some good reasoning)

No one ever uses a sniffer

The ender dragon isn't useless, it is very good for content on the interne-

At the beginning of the video I wasn't paying really attention and I somehow thought that 0:17 (don't ask me why) he had said "camel". And I kinda lowkey got scared by that. Like, just imagining Phoenix saying camel when referring to that animal is that scary because of how strange it is xd

They need to give Ocelots a use I miss them

i genuinely don’t understand how someone could find the squid useless

I love how no one mentions endermites which drop nothing and are just there to be a problem when you're teleporting around.

I think truly the most useless mob was the first ever mob called mob

I’d say the most useless mobs are: -the bat -the sniffer -the glow squid -the nitwit villager

Personally, I think the four most useless are: Silverfish Endermite Zoglin Goat From what I know, the goat horns don't actually do anything, they're just very loud.

The Minecraft community is just soo good at extending one pretty serious post about the game into a bunch of incomprehensible meme posts with some serious ones sprinkled in from time to time lol

3:14 We do like you! 😭😿😢

The phantom

Polar bears are useful for getting fish to eat/tame cats with in the snowy biomes.

I'm sorry but can someone please explain 2:35 to me I can't understand it for the life of me and I feel so dumb

Apparently the wolf is the most useless mob ever? www.twitch.tv/phoenixsclive

Minecraft movie is being filmed in New Zealand, and has Jack Black in. :)

Me when playing with morph mod in mc 1.7 and bats being the only easy mob to kill that gives flight...

1:41 .____.

Clearly the most useless mob in the game is the armor stand. I mean, name one situation where it’s a better idea to leave your expensive and valuable armor on display when it could be hidden in a chest?

Ssssquid drop black dye - super useful early game since you don't have wither roses.

Endermite got forgotten, priving how unimportant it is to Minecraft.

Personally, I wouldn’t mind if they added more “useless” mobs. They make the world feel more alive and interesting.

The true PeenixSC fans watch every video not because of the memes, but because of the daily crossword.

The polar bear saved me from starvation

Ive used squids and glow squids so much But never have i once used a llama

Idk, some mobs are just meant to make environments look more lively

0:16 giraffe?

I wish someday mojang would actually do something with the bat, and for that matter all those mob vote mobs that currently do exactly one thing. It should not be to much to ask that when killed they give you some xp and some sort of drop.

bats are useful for redstone randomizers, because they move fast.

Weren’t bats added purely to give caves non hostile life? So they aren’t really useless

2:19 More pictures that will cause controversy… />m

Glowsquid is cool, nice glowing signs and item frames. Now, wolves we keep as pets in our houses, because they're cute. That's it, we don't take them out on adventures because they could die. Why would a set of armor for the wolf change that? It could still die. I will still not be taking my wolf out. Thus, Armadillos were in fact, a wasted and useless mob in my opinion. Now, while the crab wasn't added, therefore we don't get to have extra reach, I dare say it wouldn't have been much of an extra reach, and it would've been another item to keep in our ever-growing-smaller inventory. While the crab is cool, I acknowledge that. But as someone who likes to make plugins and servers, I think the ability they added to change the player's reach via command will go a long way, especially when making plugins.

If I had to put the 4 most useless mobs in a post, I would put: 1. The bat (u know why) 2. The squid (cuz u can get books from breaking bookshelves anyway) 3. The zombie horse (just a copy of the horse) 4. Silverfish (gives people with entomophobia [fear of bugs] fear of playing the game)

Where daily crossword?

if we're genuinely trying to figure out the most useless mobs in the game, i kinda wanna try my hand silverfish have a unique gimmick of being able to hide in blocks and have been in the game for ages, so while they're annoying i dont think they're typically considered useless illusioners and zombie horses are of course top picks, being mobs not actually implemented into gameplay, but they feel like cheap picks if you've ever needed black dye for something squids are a Holy object, not using them either bats, as much as i like them (they're my favorite animal) their entire time implemented people have wondered why they existed. so thats in the running glow squids are also up there- they do a niche use, with the glow frames and glowing signs. but you can achieve a very similar effect by having a light source block behind the item frame, or hell someone else suggested moving the glow ink sac function to glowstone dust. when it comes to armadillos, the bottom line is hardly anyone takes their dogs out with them, and those that do already know the risks. their implementation also has direct conflict with mojangs philosophy about animals, where it should not encourage kids to go up to a real one and perform in game actions. armadillos do not shed their scutes. you cannot get them without harming the armadillo. im suprised this hasnt been brought up hardly anywhere ocellots *used* to have a use, being tameable into cats once upon a time, but no longer. high contender. rabbits, again despite being in the game for *ages*, still dont have much use. their feet can be used for high jump potions, and give you access to rabbit stew which is, admittedly, significantly less practical than mushroom stew. we dont talk about bundles. allays have been complained about since they were voted on, and tbh i kind of agree. they're neat looking, and are another mc original thing which is always nice, but they're kind of like bundles without actually having bundles. a few others i thought about were foxes (they're cute, and their berry farm mechanic and sword holding i think is enough to save them), polar bears (they're like the only unique mob to cold biomes man cmon, plus the saving chicken thing), phantoms (they suck, but no mending elytra repair and slow falling potions are nice!!), pandas (by god why are their internals so complicated for such a rare mob), axolotls (they really dont have much use, but seem to be beloved regardless) so, in short, i believe the most useless mobs in the game to be... . . . . your mom amongus loss skibidi toilet

1:38 they should replace the skeleton horse with zombie horse because it doesn't even spawn in survival mode and i dont think you can even tame it

I just wish we were able to breed Bats,... they still don't do anything but hey baby bats! Actually the simple solution would be to also make them tameable, so we can have a pet bat that follows you around~

2:07 -_-

Imagine making such a controversial meme that everyone just makes it the most goofiest thing of the sub for a day

The most useless mobs are Bat, Rabbit, Nitwit, and Firefly

“Cause no one likes me anyway” Why is it so relatable?

The squid and glow squid aren’t even useless because they have a PHYSICAL item they drop- that which can be used for multiple things! Namely glow item frames and glow signs- and in the squids case- BLACK DYE.

2:30 PHEONIX SAID DOGS ARE USELESS! TWITTER, CANCEL HIM!!!! (jk dont cancel him but dont disrespect the doggo)

I litterally use squids to get better trades from librarians and live off of polar bears

I’ve made it into a phoenix sc video, I can now die in peace
