How to despawn mobs in Minecraft Legends

Official artwork for Minecraft LegendsMinecraft Legends has introduced several new mobs to the franchise.

The only way to despawn mobs in Minecraft Legends is to kill them. Because you cannot harm the mobs yourself, you’ll have to trick them into dying. As harsh as it sounds, this is the only way to get rid of the additional mobs in your army and create a new one.

Here are some tricks to help you kill the additional mobs in Minecraft Legends:

  1. Go to a large piglin base with powerful enemies and robust structures. Lead your army to the center and wait for them to either destroy the base or get killed. Repeat the process until all your troops die.
  2. Perform hazardous tasks like jumping off a cliff (while on a Big Beak) or rushing towards lava and your army should do the same. Get yourself out of danger at the last moment but it’ll be too late for the troops.

All in all, you cannot despawn mobs in Minecraft but killing them with tough battles or other mechanics is always an option.
