Current version of MCell handles 15 different Cellular Automata families, with many interesting rules each. I did my best to find authors of all rules I present here, anyhow some rules still miss this information. If you can help me in finding them, I will be very thankful. I'm also sorry if I didn't put the right discoverer to a rule. Some rules were also found independently by several persons. If you think you know the real discoverer, please let me know.
| Family of rules | Abbrev. | Type |
| 1-D totalistic CA | 1DCA | 1D, totalistic or outer totalistic with decay |
| 1-D binary CA | 1DBI | 1D, binary, with optional decay |
| Cyclic CA | CYCL | 2D, cyclic totalistic |
| General binary | GEBI | 2D, binary, in Moore and von Neumann neighborhood, with optional decay |
| Generations | GENE | 2D, outer totalistic with decay |
| Larger than Life | LGTL | 2D, totalistic or outer totalistic with or without decay, in extended neighborhood |
| Life | LIFE | 2D, outer totalistic |
| Margolus | MARG | 2D, binary, in Margolus neighborhood |
| Neumann binary | NMBI | 2D, binary, in von Neumann neighborhood |
| Rules tables | RTAB | 2D, totalistic or outer totalistic rules table |
| Special rules | SPEC | 2D, depends to the rule |
| User DLLs | UDLL | 1D and 2D, any neighborhood |
| Vote for Life | VOTE | 2D, totalistic |
| Weighted Generations |
WGEN | 2D, totalistic or outer totalistic parameterization with optional decay |
| Weighted Life | WLIF | 2D, totalistic or outer totalistic parameterization with optional decay |
