A Minecraft video explores "forbidden mobs" that were never added to the game. The content creator discusses various mobs that were planned but never implemented, including:
1. Baobabs: Large trees that could be found in the savannah biome, with fruits that could be collected and used to grow new trees. The fruits would also restore hunger and provide good saturation.
2. Termites: Mobs that would live in the savannah biome, feeding on baobab fruits and burning trees around them. They would live in strange structures that could turn into the ground.
3. Ostriches: Mobs that would appear in the new savannah biome, which could be tamed with ordinary grass and ridden. They would lay eggs that could be fried and eaten, and sometimes spawn new ostriches.
4. Palm Trees: Trees that were supposed to grow in the desert biome, which would have coconuts that could be used in the game.
5. Meerkats: Mobs that would be similar to cats, which could be tamed with fish and would scare away other mobs. They would have a unique sound and appearance.
The video creator expresses disappointment that these mobs were never added to the game, but hopes that Minecraft developers might see the video and consider adding them in the future.
