Mouse

Mice are small passive mobs that flee from other entities.

Natural generation
Mice naturally generate on grass blocks with 2 blocks of free space above it at light level of 9 or more. Mice will always be white in snow biomes.

Appearance
Mice come in three different colors: brown, grey and white.

The size of a mouse is somewhere between 1 to 1.3 blocks in length.

Drops
When killed, mice drop 0–2 seeds. The drops are affected by the Looting enchantment. They drop 1–3 when killed by a player or tamed wolf.

Behavior
Mice are passive, and will never attack mobs or players, but instead flee and run away from said entities when approached. They have the ability to automatically scale up solid blocks, including fences. This can lead to them suffocating in ceilings or the corners of blocks. Due to their small size, they can pass through openings even smaller than a full block, though not willingly. Mice make squeaking noises occasionally.

A mouse can be picked up with a right-click, and can be dropped by right-clicking again. If you hold a mouse near a snake, it will follow you and attack the mouse when dropped, as snakes hunt down mice.

Trivia

 * Unlike other mobs, mice cannot be named with a name tag. Attempting to do so will make you pick it up. However, if you rename the mouse spawn egg at an anvil, the mice will be then be named.
