Open the Dictionary

| Biology Dictionary | Discovery Progress | |:-------------------------------------------------:|:--------------------------------------------------------:| | Biology Dictionary listing every mob | Biology Dictionary showing discovered and undiscovered mobs | | Vanilla mobs, modded mobs, all in one book. | Build your encyclopedia one discovery at a time. |

  • Full mob catalog — Vanilla and modded mobs are collected automatically, no setup required.
  • Discovery progress — Track which mobs you have found and which ones are still waiting.
  • Multiple discovery rules — Use a simple "all unlocked" mode, vanilla kill statistics, or Biology Dictionary's own discovery system.
  • Configurable discovery actions — Detail screens, telescope observation, interaction, kills, and more can count as discovery.
  • Discovery records — Biology Dictionary mode can record how, when, and where you first met a mob.
  • Configurable module behavior — By default, undiscovered mobs hide their details; you can also make discovery a pure collection layer.
  • Entity highlight — Highlight nearby mobs of the same type, with different ranges and costs.

| Telescope Discovery | Entity Highlight | |:--------------------------------------------------:|:------------------------------------------------------:| | Discovering a mob through a telescope | Highlighted mobs in the world | | A telescope sighting can count as a real discovery. | Highlight nearby mobs when rare targets are hard to spot. |

  • Overview / detail pages — Overview pages show default or reference data; detail pages show the live state of the entity you are looking at.
  • Base stats — Health, air, effects, speed, jump strength, hitbox, and whether the mob counts toward spawn caps.
  • Ecology — Habitat, loot table, edible items, tempting items, and leashability.
  • Variants — Standard variants, horse markings, panda genes, villager types, and more.
  • Behavior state — AI, invulnerability, silence, persistence, portal cooldown, growth, breeding cooldown, and love status.
  • Special mob data — Villager schedules, restocks, job sites, bee hives, dolphin moisture, screaming goats, pet owners, wandering trader despawn timers.
  • Entity skills — Lock growth, block breeding, control portals, disable AI, force persistence, mute, force restock, retain traders, gift pets, get spawn eggs, and more.
  • Skill costs — Skills require XP, items, permissions, or Creative mode by default; costs can be configured.

The tag page supports several views: built-in groups, MC tags, mod namespaces, and Java class/interface categories.
