Mob List
by PepGames
Mob List shows, on the screen during play, how many of each nearby mob are around the player, in a panel that can be moved.
What it does
The panel counts nearby mobs by type and separates babies from adults, so a player can see the totals without looking at each animal. The display can be dragged to any position, its scale adjusted with a slider, and anchored to a corner or the center of the Minecraft window. A hotkey opens or closes it, and the key can be changed in the settings.
The mod was made because the author could not find an existing tool with these options, and the font used in the panel comes from an HD font the author located and an unofficial FullHD font. Mob List works in singleplayer worlds and on multiplayer servers, since it is a client-side mod and needs nothing on the server.
Installation requires Fabric. Files are published for Fabric only, for four game versions, 1.21.4 – 1.21.7, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.7 as the latest file, released on 2025-07-12. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source. The author notes that compatibility with mods that add new mobs has not been tested.
Key features
Nearby mob counts
The panel lists the mobs within range and shows how many of each type are present.
Baby and adult split
Babies and adults of the same mob are counted separately, so breeding progress is simple to track.
Movable panel
The display can be dragged anywhere on the screen and anchored to a corner or the center of the window.
Scale slider and hotkey
A slider sets the size of the panel, and a configurable key toggles it on and off.

Use cases
Tracking breeding
Players raising animals can watch baby and adult counts change while they work on a farm.
Monitoring spawns
Players check which mobs are close by before moving into an area.
Who it’s for: Players who want a live count of nearby mobs on screen, in singleplayer or on a multiplayer server, without adding anything to the server side.
How it compares
Mob HP Display is client-side only and built for 1.21.1, showing health bars rather than counts. Better Multiplayer List is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.11, so its version does not overlap with Mob List's 1.21.4 – 1.21.7 files. PackBar is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21.4 – 1.21.8.

Hey! This didn't exist and I wanted it so I made it. Speaking of font resourcepacks, check out my HD Minecraft font, it goes super well with Mob List.
