The Minecraft Mob Vote NEEDS to Change

For the past few years the defining event for minecon live has been the minecraft mob vote! This year the vote is between the crab, armadillo, and penguin. However, the minecraft mob vote has always been shrouded in a ton of controversy, and this year seems to be the boiling point. Today I want to cover my personal issues with the mob vote and what I would like to see get changed.

As I state in the video that some of you missed somehow, if it is true that the mobs are not permanently removed as some claim, then the issue with the mob vote is clarification. I said this in the video but some of you missed it so here it is again!!

The thing about these mob votes is that once someone with a huge following says who they want to win, you can throw all actual opinions out the window. Remember the glow squid incident?

1.22 should be the desert update. They could add the stuff from minecon live, and also add crabs and *THE GREAT HUNGER*

The mob votes really aren’t for the mobs, they’re a hype machine

Imagine if the losing mobs are just added when their biomes are updated instead of being gone forever. Like snowy biomes with penguins, beaches with crabs and savannahs with armadillos. Since the armadillo has won, that becomes the mob that is included in the next update and we wait longer for the crab and penguin.

Your proposal of the Sniffer being able to find a new plant with a dye that brings back a removed indev wool colour sounds a lot like my idea of the Sniffer being able to dig up the classic Red and Cyan Roses. I also use the Allay to help with picking up crops like Sugar Cane or Wheat that I missed in big farms.

The random various memes Odyssey adds ALWAYS gets a chuckle outta me. Literally one of the reasons why i love this youtuber

I definitely like this idea way more. Having the mob vote choose the order of what gets added instead of deleting interesting ideas is a much better system. I do hope some of the ideas from past mob votes return because, especially the three that lost in the first vote, were really interesting.

I straight up don’t understand what thought process led to mojang coming up with the phantom in the first place, and then people actually voting it in, an extremely unfortunate combination of baffling game design and voters just not even reading the description of what they’re voting for,

The hungrybox crab clip in the beginning LOL

My biggest problem with mojang updates is the difference between them and the terraria devs. The terraria devs add so much content every update, while mojang doesnt

I've always prefered the biome vote. I like the idea of expanding upon preexisting content rather than trying tack on a single new mob, atleast that's what some of the mob votes have felt like. It feels more impactful to the game and of course the losers aren't doomed to be on a wiki page of stuff that will never be added to the game.

It still stirs up discussion and community interaction, too. Honestly if they just made the changes you talked about it'd be so much better.

6:22 “And our finally mob vote winner was the Phan-“ *Gets ad*

Bro hates the phantom so much, I got an ad right before he could finish saying Phantom

[SolaPersona]

I'll never forgive the devs, nor the community for rejecting my BELOVED AND PERFECT Copper Golem.

[Bugaboo]

Thank you for acknowledging the fact that we still get free updates 14 years later, it feels like some people don't appreciate that.

7:27 voo literally says at the end of the last mob vote that just because they loose doesn’t mean there gone forever like how the frog it now in the game even tho he lost his mob vote I know he doesn’t know this cause this was filmed before that statement was made but even now ppl still believe that

[SuperDupTNT]

I think the track record for the winners should change, but we're gonna have to depend on the community for that one.

3:29 you know, I wonder what it would’ve been like if Steve was in Smash 4

[MarioPlushben_and_patrick]

I think that they should add the top 2 votes and the third is delayed so that everyone is happy and so it’s a tiny bit easier for developers if they were to do this
