Minecraft Live 2022: Vote for the Rascal!

Meet the rascal, a mischievous mob that loves to play Hide & Seek! The rascal lurks in underground mines, waiting to be found. If you spot the same rascal three times, it will reward you with a prize so keep your eyes open!

I really like this one, but I feel like it’ll lose its purpose in the late game if it just gives a lightly enchanted iron pickaxe.

[chameleo]

I feel like the items the rascal gives should be based on your experience level, weather conditions or something. I think that would make the rascal much more interesting.

Who's ready to vote for the blue mob instead of the best mob?

More seriously, I like both the mobs we've seen so far, excited for tomorrows reveal too :)

[SophiaMoana]

This could be cool to give the caves even more life. Imagine your pickaxe breaks while mining (maybe you could just make a new one but) this mob just gives you a new enchanted one, might be really helpful even in later game. Plus a bit of fun with the hide and seek feature, might lighten up caves even more.

I love the Minecraft mob votes!!

Is the Rascal carrying a bundle or some sort of backpack??

[UYNiko]

This is a fun idea but unless it gives you unique and useful items there’s no way I would choose it over the promise of a bunch of new plants.

[bitSpartan]

They mentioned adding more plants with the first mob so I'm still voting for that so far

[totaldramarebooted]

This wouldve been so much more fun than the Sniffer

[OtYfOr]

I like that thing of making creatures that aren't just enemies or food source, but have a way of interact with and affect the environment.

I really want there to be a mob vote consisting of the three runner ups from the last few years

I really like how cute this mob looks and how unique it is. But I have to say I'm on the sniffer's side so far, the possibility of new plants is more exciting to me than yet another way to get enchanted tools. It would be great if the rascal also gave some more unique and useful loot.

This was the only mob that would spawn naturally... Tuff golem needs to be build and Sniffer is hidden away in chests... Sad that it didn't won.

[seereebee]

This seems neat, but the Sniffer seems a bit more interesting so far since it will offer brand new items

[ricardoschneider]

I believe the Rascal runs the risk of being pretty boring, a way to avoid that would be to make it pretty rare, like having it only spawn in a new structure and have it give unique items when found, that way we will really be looking for it and have a lot of fun!

Them sleeping under their desks is actually just depicting what happens to mojang employees after working for more than 30 minutes a day

[yooginava]

Its a shame we cant just get all of these. Imagine all the content the game would have.

[Prime_Rabbit]

This one seems really cool, but the sniffer seems to have more to offer for the game as a whole. The rascal has a neat concept but it's something that is already done elsewhere in the game. You can get enchanted items from villagers, loot chests, mobs and by doing it yourself. While neat in concept, it adds no new mechanics in the game. Sniffer is the best option so far

Edit: From looking at the comments, I've come to a conclusion. People don't understand what they literally blatantly said in the videos. New plants were said to probably come with the sniffer. This one is not going to drop new items or anything, just enchanted equipment which we already have tons of ways to get. As for saying the hide and seek thing is cool, sure, but it's tedious for trying to get the drops and that's literally the only new thing it brings. to reiterate, sniffer comes with new stuff. This mob does not. Yes, the new stuff would be decor, but that's still more then what's offered here

[RaysWorks]

Rascal farming here I come!
Though it looks like it will be as hard to make as my goat horn farm.

[Skorpeyon]

So far, definitely prefer the sniffer, since the sniffer reveal implies new plants, not just the same stuff you could find in loot chests. Would be nice to have more information as to what, exactly, could be in this kind of loot table, or if anything new would come of it. Right now, would rather have more plants than a whack-a-mole style lootbox.

It's always sort of sad that the other two options just get left on the cutting room floor forever afterwards.
