Template:InfoboxMobAn Ogre is a large hostile mob that has the ability to destroy blocks.
Spawning
Ogres spawn at night in the Overworld and the Nether (fire variant only) at light levels of 7 or less.
Drops
When killed, Green Ogres have a chance to drop Obsidian blocks, Fire Ogres drop Fire and Hearts of Fire and Cave Ogres drop Diamonds.
Behavior
Ogres are neutral throughout the day, but remain hostile in dark places (such as caves) or if provoked.
They are seen wielding clubs or hammers, and when they notice the player, they will raise their clubs or hammers and smash it against the ground which will destroy the blocks around them and harm the player or any mobs in the vicinity, (this will mostly break blocks in the surrounding area but not under the Ogre).
They often spawn or come with one or two heads, but this won't change their strength. They can see through glass, so one should be careful when placing windows in a house. Within the config file, the attack strength for Ogres can be modified. This damage is based on blast power similar to Creeper explosions and TNT. The damage ranges from 0 (no damage) to - 5 (capable of destroying up to 5 blocks vertically and horizontally from the Ogre). The mobGriefing command can be used to prevent Ogres, as well as Big Golems and Mini Golems from destroying blocks.
If an Ogre harms any mobs nearby from its club, the mob/s will target the Ogre.
Strategy
Due to their destructive ability, Ogres can be dangerous mobs if the player isn't well equipped with Armor or strong weapons. One way to tell if an Ogre is nearby is to listen to their distinctive loud grunts, moans or growling sounds.
When dealing with a number of Ogres, it would be suggested that the player shoots them from afar with a Bow. Another way of dealing with Ogres is by using a sword, preferably a Diamond sword to inflict more damage. However, this is more risky as you will take damage from the blast radius of the Ogre; they are best dealt with quickly if the Bow is not an option. It is also recommended to strafe sideways or jump backwards when striking an Ogre with a sword.
Variants
The three types of Ogres. From left to right: the Green Ogre, the Cave Ogre and the Fire Ogre.
There are currently three types of Ogres.
Green Ogre
The Green Ogre is the most common type of Ogre. It spawns just on the surface of the Overworld alongside other hostile mobs.
Fire Ogre
The Fire Ogre can be found in the Nether as well as the Overworld. This mob destroys blocks and ignites the ground on impact, so if a Fire Ogre was to destroy your house, it will set any flammable blocks (such as Wood) on fire and the fire will spread, possibly destroying the house. It is advised to build houses out of non-flammable materials (i.e. Stone) so that Fire Ogres can not set them on fire. Fire Ogres are also fire-resistant.
Cave Ogre
The Cave Ogre is commonly found in deep caves under the surface (as the name suggests), and it is much more powerful than the other Ogres.
Ogre Princes
The three Ogre Princes.
Sometime in a future Mo' Creatures update, there will be three Ogre Princes/Bosses that can be found in the Ogre Lair.
These Ogre Bosses may also have a chance to drop a special item, such as the Builder Hammer (carried by the Green Ogre Prince) or the Teleport Staff (carried by the Cave Ogre Prince) and the Fire Ogre Princes appears to hold a planned weapon.
Trivia
- Ogres are about 4 blocks high, making them one of the tallest hostile mobs. They are the only mobs in Mo' Creatures that are able to destroy blocks.
- Since Cave Ogres drop Diamonds, this makes Diamonds a renewable resource.
